"Preliminary data indicate that the low-carb participants, most of them women, eat about 1,800 calories a day, with 21% of calories coming from carbohydrates"

This comes to 94 grams of carbs a day. Is That "Low carb".

"During the induction or first phase of the Atkins program, dieters are limited to 20 grams of net carbs (total carbs minus fiber) each day, which usually amounts to three cups of salad and a vegetable along with the meat dish. In this phase, dieters are getting only about 10% of their total calories from carbs"

This means that in induction you eat appx 800 calories.
This guy is great in math.
