I'm really going to miss the bread.
So, who else is on this and what do you know/think about it? Does anyone know about the effects of this diet on diabetes, or possible side-effects? I'm reading conflicting reports about the healthiness/unhealthiness of this diet.

From what i read you cant even eat salad or certain cheeses, Because when going through the inital atkins transition you have to only consume a maxium of 20? carbs in a day which is less than whats in a normal can of soda, pretty much your stuck on meats, barely any vegies because most contain natural sugars and any starch foods..
