Joining the Low Carb Bandwagon

Burger King's going bunless

Burger King is joining the low-carbohydrate parade by offering bunless Whopper hamburgers and, soon, salads featuring steak, chicken and shrimp.

The bunless sandwiches will come in plastic salad bowls, with knife and fork.

Dieters also will be able to order Whopper meals that substitute salads for french fries and bottled water for soft drinks. Burger King, the nation's No. 2 hamburger chain, suggests that its restaurants charge the same for burgers with or without the bun. Because most of its stores are franchised, the company cannot mandate prices in them.

~~ It's about time!! Now I can eat at Subway and Burger King again. Yes, I'm an Atkins believer. Since I started in August I've lost 60 pounds and I've never felt healthier in my life.
