Okay - two different people have corrected me by saying (and they're right!) that Atkins allows fiber.
My comment earlier was not so much about the <i>rules</i> of Atkins, but the <i>reality</i> of Atkins by most of its "practitioners." To quote myself:
<i><b>fiber in all forms is a good carb - and sorely missing from Atkins practitioners' diets.</b></i>
I know Atkins allows fiber, but the typical "sausage and cheese" Atkins follower doesn't get much. To those of you who corrected me - please list a few palatable foods allowable on Atkins that contains fiber, but doesn't also use up all 22 of your daily carbs in one serving. I'm not trying to be a smartass challenging you here - I'd really like to know - I spend a lot of money on Benefiber every week in order to get fiber without starches, alcohols, or sugars. I'd much rather get fiber in the foods I eat, than buy it separately. What are some foods rich in fiber, but low in other carbs?
Personally, I try to get it from apples, but there's more carbs in an apple than Atkins allows in an entire day (at least during induction), right?
