Its ignorant comments/myths like these that give the atkins diet a bad name. Contrary to popular belief, the atkins diet does allow for vegetables and even fruits (in later stages).

Don't knock it until you try it. A big glob of Duke's Mayo on leftover steak fat is tasty stuff. I wouldn't use anything other than Duke's though.

cripes! I was thinkin I was doin good for the day at only around 50 carbs. Atkins wants you below 20 carbs for 2 straight weeks to start this thing off..... thats gonna be awfully hard to do!

After your first 2 weeks (if you don't want to wait longer), you increase your daily carbs by 5 per day until you stop losing weight.

I'm in the first phase of Atkins right now and its not as hard as you think. I have a meat stick and some string cheese for breakfast (i'm not really found of omelets which everyone else on atkins eats). I have a lettuce salad with 1 tbs. of ranch dressing on it, one sliced hard boiled egg, and 2 pieces of sugar free Hershey's candy bars. Then in the afternoon for a snack I eat breakfast again but with an extra of the Hershey's bars. Then for dinner i had lettuce wrapped tacos. I browned the beef then put in seasonings to make it taste like taco meat. Tons of cheese and hot sauce on them also. Red Hot sauce is carb free! For a snack in the evening I either have some 0 carb provolone, some hard salami (very low carb). This type of setup is only about 15-19 grams of carbs for the day. Amazingly my hunger that I usually got every 2-3 hours when on 'normal' food is gone. I'm not sure if I'm eating less or not yet. I'm a big guy so if I'm gonna lose weight I'll start noticing it real soon. The best discovery I had was when I realized that I could have pretty much anything labeled for diabetics. Since they can't have sugar (carbs) it is all really low in carbs. So I stocked up on these to give myself a dessert. They make some low-carb diabetic hard candies that are great.

Yes and no. In the first 2 weeks, you keep under 20g / day == 140g / week total. Then next week, you increase to 25g / day == 175g / week, not 145g / week. That's the difference I was trying to communicate.

You need to read up more on carbohydrates. Most of the Atkins "no-no's" are complex carbs, such as potatoes, pasta, bread, etc. What manufacturers don't always count on labels is fiber and artificial enhancers such as glycerine. For example, the commericals for Subway's Atkins wrap says "11 net carbs", not total carbs, but net carbs which in their opinion is only carbohydrate which causes an insulin response. I think this is sneaky practice, as they should list total carbs, not net carbs. Very misleading and sneaky
