I think it is because nitrates are supposed to be carcinogenic (sp??) and they would be liable to getting sued if you got cancer, that's my take on it anyway, so seeing as I was already eating food with nitrates in I don't see any difference for myself.

Of course somebody may come on here and tell me I am totally wrong, I do hope not though as I do love my salami.

I bought a box of 180 beautiful organic eggs from a wholesaler, they were expensive but so yummy. Sometimes I just have 2 or 3 eggs fried in butter, with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Its good for breakfast, and even had it for dinner last night. After a week or so I found that my appetite had really diminished, and that I am now struggling to eat 3 meals!

I've also noticed the same. I've been on Atkins a week now and my appetite is tiny compared to what I used to eat. My meals aren't as big (mainly because they're not packed with starchy fillers, like potatoes) and I snack far, far less!

Well i have done my shopping list and wrote loads of your helpful meals and breakfasts to try. So i can tell ill not be hungry but Omg. I have to drink loads of water. Lol ill never be off the toilet with a bladder the size of a mouse. Lol.

See you at your week 1 weigh in!!

I still cant believe that i have moments where i go - am i hungry? No! Not the starved carb monster i was before atkins. Went to a party sat night - had dinner beforehand and managed to eat one carrot stick to be sociable. Just didnt need anything else (except the wine of course )

Wow. Parties alway get me. It's the fact there are small portions of everything, it doesn't feel like you're eating too much. Then you add it up and bam, 2000 calories!!!


I haven't been anywhere to test my lack of appetite and new control yet, hope it goes as well as yours!
