Okay, woah there. That's not Atkins. The Atkins plan calls for a two week induction period where you eat 20g of carbs a day, not less and not more, and they have to come from specific sources.

I'm going to disagree with you on this one too. Lots of people just go to an "all meat and cheese and butter" diet and think they're doing Atkins. They're the ones hurting themselves and giving the diet a bad name. The book clearly lays out the structure of the thing and gives you all the information you need. Go buy the book.
