The answer would be for someone to invent sweets with zero carbs.

I get that chocolate craving every afternoon! I give in too often and blame it on hormones.

Try some L-Glutamine for sugar cravings. Not the capsule form - get the bulk. Let about a teaspoon of L-Glutamine melt under your tongue. It tastes a bit like cookie dough.

It's been done. (0-3 effective carbs anyway) Try hard candies for diabetics. Very good. Atkins' Endulge bars are very good as are his Advantage bars. For ice cream, try Blue Bunny brand available at Walmart supercenters. Excellent!

Check out the sugar-free aisle at WalMart. They have lots of choices, even fruit-flavored which is my choice. I've always been allergic to chocolate, and so chocolate anything is not a treat for me.

Also, check out Atkinscenter.com for recipes. There is a cheesecake on there that I've made and it's to die for! I forget about the crust, bake it in a 9-inch square pan, and enjoy. Really good. Of course, I use it as a meal - but what the hey! It's my choice of what to eat, and when. Works for me. Oh, one more thing. I use soy flour instead of Atkins Baking mix. Substitute tablespoon for tablespoon. Lots cheaper and works just fine.

BTW, my cholesterol has gone from a whomping 323 to 120! ON ATKINS! Yup. And I can't remember the numbers now, but my Triglycerides also dropped like a lead weight, while the HDL, the good cholesterol is way higher. For me, it's healthier to eat Atkins than any "diet" I've ever been on.

It's not a diet. It's a way of life.

Have you found the chocolates that use sugar alcohol. They are fabulous! Just don't eat too many.

My favorite dessert is fresh strawberries sprinkled with Splenda and heavy whipping cream poured on top.

For a 1/4 cup of strawberries, you get a net carb count of 1.8 grams. Heavy cream has no carbs.

I love it!
