mary?
Well, if I'm the Mary you are referring to, the reason I don't post what I eat is because I'm on Atkins maintenance. Once you get to maintenance, you have a lot more low glycemic choices that aren't allowed on the weight loss phase.
One thing I've learned about being on this site is that different people have different ideas as to what constitutes Atkins that has nothing to do with the actual formula for the diet. I'm afraid that some people would look at what I eat and think that if I'm eating it...it must be allowed. For instance, I love fresh baked sweet potatoes, but they are for maintenance only. Unfortunately, this might lead someone who has not read the book to believe that they are allowed, so it's just easier not to confuse the issue.
Girl, I eat all day long! Even though I'm not diabetic, I try to keep my insulin levels on an even keel all day. I also cook a lot from scratch so I know exactly what is in my food. I make a lot of killer sauces and eat a salad every day. So, what else ya wanna know?

Oh! Can't you post that you are in maintenance? I just always like to see what peeps eat - part of the obsession maybe, and I can learn about other things at times.
And those sauces: give it UP! I love new ideas like that. i think DH had better quit buying all the damn sauces he buys - some of them i very much hate, like spinach salad dressing - pure sugar from the store.
