Since I starting eating low carb, the only thing I truly miss is cereal. How about you?

    Sad to say, but I really miss Hot Tamales candy. I can live without bread, pasta and potatoes but I do miss that sweet, sweet, chewy cinnamon treat. LOL

    Every once in a while I get a mad craving for Chinese food. But not the ugly buffet junk -- PF Changs. I've learned low carb alternatives to several of their recipes though. So that helps me a bit :)

    My homemade pizza. I can make the most awesome pizza from a recipe passed down from my italian great-grandmother with homemade sauce I devised. The cauliflower/cheese crusts just can't cut it. I also really miss being able to have something like a few bites of pita and hummus, or a cupcake at my parents house, or even just the general not being super choosy at restaurants.

    A real hamburger, on a bun. Pasta, all kinds. I would love to have a bowl of lo mein or fried rice. It would taste delicious but then I would feel terrible.

    I miss it too... but now I fry up a low carb tortilla & cover it in homemade guacamole. It tastes so devilishly decadent.

    I agree about the cauli / cheese crusts. I use low carb tortillas as my crust & then top & bake. It really helped me curb my pizza cravings.
