As a relatively new member of this forum I've been browsing thru the different recipes that several of you have created. I want to thank whoever posted the ones for rootbeer float w/ 1/2 & 1/2 or whipping cream and diet rootbeer,..... and the one for the diet orange soda with 1/2 & 1/2. They are so.........satisfying and taste so delicious. Thanks a bunch!!!! I was on the phone this evening with my niece who lives in a different part of Missouri than I . I'm so excited about this non depriving diet , I've tried to impress on her to get the book and give it a try. She has the polycystic condition that Dr. Atkins addresses in the book. She also is a HUGE carb lover. Mexican food especially. She is not interested in giving up her carbs. So sad. If I can be a cake decorator and not be tempted to taste my frosting or cake or do a catering job and not eat any of my homemade carbo loaded dinner rolls, and be able through stable bloodsugars to resist any of this, I believe if she would put her heart into it for the Induction she would be so surprised with her result. I suppose food is more important to her than losing weight.

You are sooooo right. Those 'mock' root beer floats are fantabulous.

Have a great LC day
