There is no reason to have a boring, routine diet while doing low carb. The Atkins Diet specifically allows all spices and herbs in it that have no added sugars. It is also way more than just salt and pepper. That opens the whole world of new flavors to Atkineers, such as Chile Powders and Cumin for Mexican dishes, Italian herbs and seasonings and garlic for Italian dishes, and Chinese 5-Spice and Allspice for Chinese dishes. In addition to all these savory spices, there are also “sweet” or “dessert” spices allowed like Cocoa powder and Cinnamon or Cassia. There is no limit to options you can try. The only caution is when you are buying commercially prepared spice packages – be sure to check for added sugars! Learn from my mistakes! The better bet is to pre-mix your spice mixes in advance.
