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.

My wife had the book, I read it, I modified.
Atkins also said that pork rinds and dip are a good snack
My version of healthy would be fish/chicken and veggies.
I shoot for 0 carbs in induction NOT because I think I'll get 0 carbs, but because I know I'll get some from other sources which are hard to count. I eat a LOT of salads and I know I'm getting carbs in them.
Also from what I recall you are not required to eat 20 grams of carbs a day on induction but are allowed no more then 20 grams.
Induction IS basicly all meat and cheese and fat diet from everything I gather.
Ok I did a bit of checking online (no idea where the book went after we moved) and yes you are allowed no MORE than 20 grams in induction, you are not required to eat any.
Edit: Down to 216 this morning, 10 more to go.
