Yes, it is essential..not just for the carbs, but for the fiber and the nutrients the vegetables will give you.
It's imperative that you read Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution, version 2002 (DANDR for short) and fully understand the 'why' behind Atkins, and become familiar with the Acceptable Foods list, and the Rules of Induction. :yes -
Dr. Atkins says in the book that you "must" get most of those carbs from veggies. Read the induction section of his book, and it will answer all those questions. And remember, that induction is only for two weeks. The strictness of induction isn't forever.I'm 26 years old, and I lost weight on this plan in 2005. I'm getting married in August and thought this would be the way to go after making little progress on other diets. I've got 20 lbs to lose for the big day!
