I wouldn't call this a low-carb diet, but if it's working for you then you can call it whatever you want! Looks like your carbs are coming from the following sources: Shredded wheat, raisins, milk, fruit (bananas and apples are especially high in carbs), carrots, pitas and nuts. The other veggies are perfectly acceptable as long as you're not eating tons. Depending on the low-carb plan you read up on, some of them allow fruit and some restrict it until you've been on the plan for a while. If you're interested in the Atkins plan specifically, I would recommend visiting www.atkins.com and reading up on the four phases of the plan. There is a ton of information on that site that can guide you in the right direction if you want to try a low-carb diet.

But like I said, if this is working for you and you feel healthy, I see no reason to give it up if you don't want to. It looks like a reasonably healthy diet to me.
