Was this ever a great subject! I find travel really kills my Atkins diet. I can usually find the protein but denying my sweet tooth is almost impossible. At home, when I'm strictly observing, I usually soothe it with diet Jello topped with heavy cream but in the air I just eat everything I shouldn't.

I'm already salivating at the thought of Belgian chocolate, svpii. thanks for the tip. Just think, I can indulge myself with chocolate and get miles on my AAdvantage card for the order. The best of both worlds!! StacyCat, I found the lowcarbluxury site interesting but, unfortunately, I fly AA and the site even says they don't do low carb anymore. Maybe we should all e-mail them. I'm usually in Business unless I'm flying domestic where I now refuse to use up miles upgrading since MRTC. As pointed out, you can usually find enough protein and salad plus those warmed nuts to keep you happy. I just always find it hard to turn down that desert.

I have to agree that Atkins is the only diet I ever went on and really saw fast results that lasted without feeling like ripping food out of people's hands. I also modify it to a weekend off but sometimes the weekend stretches into weekdays and then I have to go strict for a bit. I'm in the midst of one of those strict bits right now.

This is why I love this site. You never know what you're going to find besides the best FF tips.
