Can the 20 carbs be ANY kind of carbs? I mean, would it be allright to eat one potato chip as long as I'm still under 20 carbs? I just need some clarification...

Re: Question about the 20 carbs
why would you want one potato chip? throw them out and eat good food, if you cheat the diet, you only cheat yourself

Re: Question about the 20 carbs
Atkins is a very specific diet with a specific foods list and rules. So if you follow Atkins, then no those 20 net carbs can't be from just any food.Originally posted by Cola

Re: Question about the 20 carbs
Please read the book. I posted the link to the online book before, not sure if you saw it: LINK
Acceptable Foods List
Rules of Induction
I sure don't see potato chips listed on there. This "diet" is very specific in what's allowed and what's not. Once you read the book you'll be equipped to do it right.Female / Currently on Extended Induction (again), begun 6/2/08.
I did Extended Induction from 1/3 to 5/9 (2006) and lost 55 pounds, so I know I can do it again!

Re: Question about the 20 carbs
before the 2002 book Dr Atkins answer was yes you could pick your own 20 net carbs. BUT based on the issues his readers and patients had when they picked their own 20 carbs he revised the plan in 2002 and said eat only the foods on the acceptable lists for your 20 nwt carbs.
Follow the chapter 11 induction and see what a big loser you can be.by the book atkinseer
