I wonder if this is their attempt to "sell" the diet to those who previously would have found it too restrictive (i.e. didn't want to give up their carbs). This way they give the illusion that we can have our cake and eat it too. The diet would seem more appealing to a carb addict if they were allowed all kinds of "treats". Which is sad because filling up on that junk is not any healthier than eating a bunch of carbs.

Wonder if we can expect Dr. Atkins New NEW Diet Revolution any time soon, LOL.
