Why are you still under the impression that we DON'T eat good carbs loaded with phytos? We just choose ones with little to no sugar or starch.

I'm not clear on what your point was here: are you referring to saturated fat's reputation as being "artery clogging?" Study of the fat in artery clogs states that more than half is polyunsaturated. Only about 26% is saturated. (Felton, C V, et al, Lancet, 1994, 344:1195)
>>"if we do not get enough sugar in our diet, our body needs to break down our much-needed protein"
Correct only when someone consumes insufficient amounts of protein. Most LCers consume ample amounts.
Sorry, but the conclusion I draw is still "eat sufficient protein, fat, and minimally-impacting carbs."

You know, I don't think Gymeet has ever actually read Dr. Atkins' book. The amounts, what they are and how they relate to your health are in there. Granted, I think the layout of the book makes it hard to find some of the factual information, but it is there. And the recommened foods, and portions are easy to find.
