Is It Really "Cheating" If You Eat Kielbasa At Night?

I should preface this by saying that I still have a bit of a sweet tooth.  When I went out shopping today I bought some snacky things for this last full week of school before it ends for the year.  The snacks I bought were sugar free pudding cups -- Boston Cream Pie flavored at 12g of carb a cup, and Mousse Temptations by Jello Dark Chocolate flavored at 10g of carbs a cup.

I had one of each tonight (probably a mistake on my part, but I wanted to try them and it didn't go over my allowed snack carb count).  And now, I was feeling hungry again.

So, I took a small piece off the end of some kielbasa and just had it to put protein in my belly so that I wouldn't feel so hungry.  Working so far -- feeling fuller now.

This brings up a good point, though.  I was watching a documentary show that the BBC did on low carb diets, in particular Atkins, where they did all kinds of tests on different aspects of the diet.  One of the more interesting points made is how come those on Atkins and other low carb diets actually eat less calories and feel fuller than those on higher carb diets.

Watch the show below and make up your own mind on this.
