I love being in the Maintenance phase. I always make low carb food, but I can sneak a few things in. I am not allergic to wheat like some people. So I can sneak in some pasta's and bread's, (albeit not all the time) to keep my menu interesting instead of boring.

This is the beauty of maintenance. A restructuring of how I make foods for me and The Girl. We eat HEALTHY foods now, with the occasional indulgence. The occasional indulgence used to happen at every meal, followed by desert.

If you have Google, imagination, and a few cookbooks, it is HARD to get bored with the Atkins diet.
