Pizza toppings!! Omnomnom If you want real pizza you can make a cauliflower crust- I am sure there are other options in the link Jersey provided, but honestly, I just like the toppings anyways so its no big deal to toss the crust out when we order pizza.
From everything I have read- yes it is "strict" BUT its like gourmet strict. You are exchanging eating tacos to being able to have steak with mushrooms cooked in butter, or salmon with cream cheese.
I am just on like day 1 of atkins and havent read the whole book yet but the idea is to put your body into the fat burning mode instead of glucose mode (ie controlled carb diet) and once you are in this mode your cravings deminish, as does your appetites, but you are still eating rich, yummy foods that keep your body fueled and your weight loss going as you learn your carb level tolerance, and what foods trigger binges/cravings
