No probs.
Why not? Cauliflower is quite low carb, and makes a good "mash" for things like shepherds pie if you grate it.
Give it a try, you might be surprised

It's only because your body is used to a regular sugar/carb input

Agreed, but I would still have been counting them in the daily total carb allowance.oddjob62 said:I wouldn't recommend berries if he's in the first couple of weeks of Atkins. Pretty high in simple sugars.
JasonO said:Gangster,
What age and height are you ?
JasonO said:Gangster,
Your 15 years old, I'm not gonna say that your weight is normal, but I would say that dieting is not normal at your age.
If you spend more time running after girls, chase a football, skateboard or cycle....you'll find that whatever weight you don't want to have around will dissapear in no time.
Step away from the PC, put down your gameboy and MP3 player, and cycle to McDonalds for a burger, followed by some Starburst which you've pinched off your mates.
Seriously, you are far too young to be dieting like this.![]()
Sadgeek said:I'm not sure that I would want to go straight from Atkins to Weight-watchers, purely because they deal with weightloss in different ways.
If I was going to move away from Atkins, then I'd look for another low-carb diet such as the South beach which seems to get good reviews.
After your first two weeks, you get to put the carbs back in slowly so the weightloss reduces.
I just think it would be a shame to go through the cravings and hard-work that you are putting into this now, to jump over to a different style of diet with contradictory guidelines.
