It was brought to my attention that there are a few lists at onelists.com that are stressing NO Carbs on their list. When you find one of these lists, drop it immediately. This is the incorrect way to do Atkins. Good healthy carbs in the form of (Fresh) Vegetables and Fruits are allowed. Please avoid these lists. They are giving false information to the members. They are doing Atkins the Wrong Way. When it comes to adding carbs back in your diet, it's really all about common sense. Some say, "You cannot have fruit on a low carb diet." This is a Myth or really down right "a lie". The only time you don't have fruit is the first 2 weeks called induction. The second phase (after two weeks) you can add fruit back. Just remember it's all about Portion control on Carbs. For Example: One 8 oz apple has 35 carbs and 6 fiber making the net carbs 29. What if you ate 1/2 the apple (15 net carbs) or better yet 1/4 the apple (7.25 net carbs) . 1/4 apple is well in the low carb range for Atkins.

For healthy low carb recipies watch George Stella's " Low Carb and Lovin it". Even food you thought was forbidden like chocolate brownies, pumpkin pies etc. He will show you a low carb version and help you stick with it.

When it comes to beef, I try to stay with Lauras Lean Beef simply because NO Harmones.

I have a carb counter scanned but due to storage limits I'm unable to upload it. I can give you an example in the below chart. Here is a list of fruits, vegetables that are allowed on my lower fat version. I have added more variety in hopes that people will make it a life change of eating. Are you missing Oranges, Grapefruits, Cantaloupes, Apples, Peas? Well stop your search. You can still eat those items and maintain a healthy low carb diet.
