Karen omitted the crust on the cheesecake - it's one of the major
sources of carbohydrates in a cheesecake. If you want a crust, try
using a nut crust.

Mix crushed nuts with some Splenda and cinnamon to taste, stir in some
melted butter or margarine that bakes well until if forms a dough like
texture, press it into the pan and bake it at 375 or so until it's
browned. It won't get a crunchy as a graham cracker crust will, but
it will add a new flavor to your cheesecake.

If the mixture is too crumbly, try adding a little bit of soy flour.
You can find it at health food stores and some major grocery stores
carry it. It has much fewer carbohydrates than wheat flour does.
