My husband says I shouldn't fake it... what do you think.

I'm a firm believer in not cutting out foods you love completely since it is a recipe for failure. I think altering recipes so that you can eat and enjoy them is a smart idea. Go for it! Also, try the hungry girl website as well. It was created by a woman that remakes things to fit in the weight watchers diet. There are really good recipes without sacrificing the fun and flavor of the foods you enjoy, as well as fresh ideas that will add the variety I think you are describing you need. Hope this helps!

My doctors have put me on a low carb plan for life... not to lose weight but because they are horrible to my hormones and neurotransmitters. They have told me to substitute everything that I can... the less I feel like I am "doing without" the better chances I will not relapse. So... I will just go by what they have told me.

Yes!! Absolutely look for alternatives!! Cheesecake is REALLY easy to go low carb with fyi.
