One of the few bright spots on this diet is that I can have (within reason) any meats that i want. I can eat most green vegetables and don't have to worry to terribly much about most cheese (well not American .. that's loaded with sugar). It only takes a few days to start craving sweet (I'll not even mention bread and potatoes because that is likely to be the breaking point sooner or later). For the dessert fix there is Sugar free jello, add a little bit of whipped cream and that is very satisfying most of the time, but it's not really that sweet. The last time i did this diet low carb dieting was all the rage and I could find tons of chocolate alternatives that tasted mostly right. Those options have dried up as the fad has died. So I'm stuck with this terribly craving for something really sweet .... the solution is found is a very strange place. Diet Dr. Pepper If you haven't had anything sweet in a few days and this is all that is around it absolutely tastes like liquid pleasure, though with a slightly unpleasant after taste. Luckily you get used to that fairly fast.
