Quest: This was an interesting question to post. And I do appreciate so many responses from the moderators. My husband has a habit of (rather proudly) announcing to innocent listeners, that I am on the Atkins diet. I wish he wouldn't, as I think it is so universally misunderstood as being the bacon and egg and steak and cheese diet.

I can no longer afford steak at its current price. We eat mostly chicken and pork and some seafood, along with salads and vegetables, of course. But when he says "Atkins", no one thinks of the vegetables.

So, yes, I am on Atkins (not a moderator), but prefer to simply say "Low carbohydrate", or "no sugar, no starch" diet.

Sorry to butt in here,

Kay
