here is a site I found that rocks!!!

Also if you are looking for a great meal replacement the AdvantEdge Carb Control Ready to Drink, drinks are great. The bars are not too shabby either. The Atkins Advantage bars are quality. Had a Brownie Almond Fudge one for a snack today. Mighty good I might say.
Anyone who has seen serious cholestorol problems the trick there is to cut back on the red meat and fatty foods. Lay off the cheese. Start eating 5 egg omlettes in the morning. 1 full egg and 4 egg whites. Lay off the Salami and Cheese snacks. Move over to turkey and chicken. Beware of fatty fish. Some fats are good. But some can be really bad. I use Isopure 50gram protein shakes 200 calorie 0 fat 0 carbs 50 protein as meal replacements and for fillers when I haven't gotten enough calories out of a meal. Also in case anyone didn't know and you have one close by. In and Out Burger allows you to get any one of their burgers Protein style. They will kill the bun and wrap it in a bunch of lettuce. Had a couple of these the other day for lunch. YUMMY!!!
Anyone looking for more Ideas hit me up or try some of the recipes at http://atkinscenter.com/food/index.html
Some great stuff there. Low carb tortilla's made into Fajita's YUM YUM...
Last but not least... Eat plenty of Spinach and other high fiber veggies. Keep that digestive system flowing. If you found that you haven't had to take the kids for a swim in a few days have something with some carbs and some high fiber to get the pipes flowin again.

I second everything you say.
The new Brownie bars & Choco/Peanutbutter advantage bars are great.
There are an amazing number of places on the net to buy anything from low carb bread (though expensive) to low carb ketchup.
Anyhow, I've lost 30 pounds in 7 weeks and my glucose levels and cholesterol levels have improved dramatically.
I even have some sort of green veggie for dinner almost every night. So, you don't really miss out on your veggies.
A FANTASTIC diet that works, is easy to stay on and tastes great TOO!
