Glad you found my post to be somewhat enlightening. :-) I'm not your typical Atkins dieter... I mean, I rarely eat red meat... the vast majority of my protein comes from fish. And regardless of what Atkins says, I still believe that this is a much healthier variation of his diet. I steer clear of ALL carbs for the moment, until I'm down to those last 10 lbs. or so--then I'll start the gradual switch to a Mediterranean style of eating. I don't eat fruit or many vegetables because of this extreme carbohydrate restriction though, but I would STRONGLY suggest looking into a supplement called "Green Source" (go to "vitaminworld.com"). It contains absolutely EVERYTHING you're missing out on with such a severely restricted carbohydrate diet-- a high-potency multi-vitamin/mineral preparation +: boron, choline, inositol, PABA, citrus bioflavonoids, quercetin, rutin, hesperidin, bromelain, betaine, papain, amylase, lipase, protease, cellulase, a proprietary lactobacillus blend, oat bran, apple pectin, RNA, DNA, cartenoids, chlorophyll, cold-pressed borage and sunflower oils, l-glutathione, spirulina, wheat grass juice, sprouted barley juice, flaxseed oil, chinese chlorella, bee pollen, siberian ginseng, dehydrated garlic, and a proprietary herbal blend of echinacea, milk thistle, goldseal, ginger root, gingo biloba, and cayenne pepper. A MARVELOUS product... hell, great for practically ANYONE to take, regardless of their eating habits.
Best of luck to you! :-)
