| St Patrick’s Day is just two days away, but you don’t need the luck of the Irish to enjoy a low carb St. Patrick’s Day feast. No matter what you’re doing to celebrate this popular holiday, Atkins® has plenty of low carb tips and recipes that are sure to make it a success. | Of course, there are some St. Patty’s pitfalls that are not low in carbs (Guinness beer, Irish soda bread, shamrock cookies and potatoes, to name a few), but you can bypass some of these temptations with these tips: | • | Plan your pre-party snacks. In other words, make sure you keep up with your regular low carb snacks and meals prior to the party so you can keep your hunger (and cravings) under control. | • | Go easy on the booze. If you can’t celebrate St. Patrick’s Day without a green beer, make sure it’s a low carb green beer or an Atkins approved beverage. | • | Make the menu. In addition to low carb corned beef recipes, you can throw the perfect St. Patrick’s Day party with any of our other low carb recipes. | | Sláinte! | |
