I went on Atkins in 2002-2003 and gave up on it. I am back on it now because everything else I have tried failed. I am going stick with the SF Kool-Aid and see what happens. Thanks. I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS

SF Kool-aid is loaded with aspartame, which is "has caused stalls in 25% Dr. A's patients" item. It is definitely a YMMV thing, and something if added you might be paranoid about stalling. (At least that was why I was and still am reluctant about aspartame.)

What about SUGAR FREE KOOL-AID?

Dr Atkins believe heavily in the requirement of the phytonutrients found in veggies for a healthy life. So they should be considered required for all phases to be healthy not just for fiber. You could lose weight on just drinking water, but it would be unhealthy to do so. About as close as Dr. Atkins came to zero carbing was the fat fast, and he only recommended for short periods of time AND to select few highly metabolically resistent dieters.

Is Veggies required to lose weight or is it just put in there to keep you regular?

Yes, if by salad you mean salad veggies, which includes a lot more than just lettuce like peppers, jicama, mushrooms, etc. You can have up to three cups in one serving or that amount spread across many servings. Alternatively, you have the other veggie group (broccoli,tomato,onions,cabbage, etc.) that you can have one cup, but that reduces the salad group down to 2 cups total per day. I would encourage spreading the carbs over the course of the day not one meal.

Ok, so basically if you are going to eat saleds, you have to make sure that the saled from the acceptable food list is no more than 3 cups total? So basically you can just have one saled for the day rest is meats and eggs?
