adkpam,

I actually spent the money to buy his book on-line (it was in a downloadable pdf format), I think it was just under $50 and included a workout system and another small pamphlet on supplements. I did this before I started Atkins, it was part of my research into the low-carb way of eating. No reason to tell you off, you probably wouldn't like the tone of his book either, nor would you like that half the book tells his life story and how he came to have all the answers. Yes, he seems like an egomaniac, but an egomaniac who has done a lot of research and supports low-carbing in general. I learned how to skip large sections of his book to get at the research.

Nancy LC,

Picked out of Ellis' statements above: "Now, you can, of course, subtract the fiber grams from the total carbohydrate count, but the other contention
is pure nonsense."

So he doesn't have a problem with Net Carbs where they have to do with fiber.
