I actually eat a good amount of carbs. The first two weeks of atkins is very restrictive. AFter that you add in more carbs until you are losing at a comfortable level (for me i like to lose at 2 pound per week rate). When you hit your weight goal that you want to maintain, you add in even more carbs. Lots of people that do atkins make the mistake by doing the 2 week induction diet, indefinately. That's not what is supposed to happen. I've read of people on some of the low carb forums that eat only meat and eggs ONLY for months, now THAT is riduculous! And not the atkins diet.

I'm being a little lenient lately even though i haven't reached my goal yet because i just feel like it and i've been exercising more. SO today I had some oatmeal. I'm making bean and veggie soup tomorrow for dinner. It's still so much more low carb than i used to eat. And when i do eat carbs, I only eat high fiber foods. I really don't think it's unhealthy if you are doing it the right way.
