Okay, so as far as my son is concerned, he can east "as much as he wants" during that one hour period? I'd like to confirm this before I relay the info to him. He's really open to Atkins and/or CAD -- I'm very fortunate that he's not fighting this -- he's willing to go full force, I just need to make sure I give him the correct information. As much as he wants of whatever he wants for 1 hour, right? I think he'll love the idea.

As for me, well, snacking has been a friend to me. I have coffee mid-morning (creamer only) and have 1/2 an Atkins chocolate bar around 3:00 in the afternoon -- I find that if I have the whole bar (even though they are quite tiny) that I get sleepy afterward -- almost as if I'm coming down off a "sugar high" but without the sugar. Are those snacks "not allowed"? Can you suggest any substitutes? Are fruits allowed as a snack?

Whatever info you can provide is greatly, greatly appreciated.
