Yeah, I don't do the vitamin thing, but I don't technically do Atkins.
I just stopped eating foods that made me either feel all crappy and
sluggish, or made me crave more and more even when I was full. It just
turned out the foods I stopped eating were the same foods most Atkins
dieters stop eating, or at least limit strictly. I don't think every
single thing Atkins wrote is correct for every single person. I feel no
need to stop drinking coffee, or start taking vitamins, or test ketones
or whatever.
