Hi Stephen --

you can go to atkinscenter.com and look at all the foods acceptable.

The more natural the food is (the less processed) the less fillers and sugars it will have in it. When you read labels look at the carb count, the fiber count and the sugar count.

Brocolli has a lot of fiber, so you take the carb count and subtract the fiber count and you get the effective carb count.

You need the vegetables for fiber so you won't get constipated, dark green leaf lettuce, spinach, broccoli, cauliflower -- good stuff for you.

Good to see you here and looking forward to your progress.
