thanks patricia. he was reading up on atkins and it said that for the first 10 days or so that you should stay under 20 g. That's where I came up with that number. He's really been much lower than that. It's only been a couple days and already has lost 3 lbs. (he weighed last night after eating 3 meals during the day..so that's pretty darn good).

I really need to find some snack foods for him. He LOVES to snack and was rumaging through the fridge last night trying to find something. I have heard nuts, porkrinds (eww), sugar free jello. etc. So, I need some more salty/sweet snack ideas to keep him satisfied.

btw, glad to hear that atkins has worked for you! So far it seems to be doing the trick for husband. I just hope it continues and that he will stick to it.
