Question
i love chocolate,how can i eat it while i am on an atkins diet.

Answer
Atkins does not allow sugar so that makes it difficult.  I need to first start out by saying that I do NOT advocate following the Atkins diet.  It can be dangerous if followed for too long of a period.  You are much better off with a healthy, well-balanced, calorie controlled diet for losing weight.  Atkins does not allow for permenant long-term weight loss!  It is difficult and as I said dangerous to stick with for long periods of time.  Weight loss should be a series of lifestyle changes that you permenantly adopt and can live with for life!!  If you lose weight by doing something drastic and you don't continue with it, chances are you will gain the weight back!  So give that some thought!
As for the chocolate you can do sugar-free hot chocolate and other sugar-free chocolate treats.  Just keep in mind that many of these foods still have calories so go easy.
