I've read one. It was just simpler for my life to just limit my diet to
vegetables, meat, eggs, cheese, and the occasional piece of fruit,
rather than counting and measuring everything and making sure I went up
by 5g each week . . . blah. So I don't technically do Atkins, because I
still drink coffee, I don't take vitamins, and I don't do the math part.
