    Hi everybody

    I've been coming here pretty much every day for the past couple months so I finally decided to join. I started Atkins on Feb. 29th and have lost 19lbs since then (hopefully more but I weigh myself every thursday so i'll see tomorrow). I've also been exercising at least 4 times a week. I feel great and plan on staying on this WOL. Here's something I was wondering about though, I've been having a lot of peanut butter cravings lately and I never did before...does this happen to other people too? or does it mean I'm missing something nutritionally?

    Well, I just wanted to introduce myself. This board seems really supportive so i'm sure it will be a great help to me along the way.

      Welcome. You're doing a great job. Congratulations. As for the cravings, we all get different cravings from time to time...the important thing is to find a replacement for times when you start craving things that aren't on your plan. Exercise, drinking water, taking a walk or coming here for support will help you change your thoughts into positive actions. I always called it the 'negative side of my mind' trying to convince me to go off plan. If you immediately start doing something positive at times like this - it will help you stay committed and create healthy habits.

          Welcome, Taddy ! We're glad you joined! I agree with dreamof145 (even though I don't always do it). The best thing to do when you have cravings for something is to do something other than eat. On the other hand, I've also heard someone suggest that if you're craving something sweet, eat something sour like a pickle. So you could try to eat something 'legal' that's the opposite of peanut butter.

          On the nut rung during OWL you'll be able to add-in sugar-free peanut butter.
