Notice this says IF YOU ARE USED to counting calories and ARE MORE COMFORTABLE with such an approach.
To me this sounds like a concession to those people who can't get past the idea of counting calories....doesn't necessarily sound like it's a rule of the diet. I wondered about everyone on the boards saying 10-12 x your body weight in calories, too. When I saw this on the Atkins website I felt it just wasn't that important. With that said, though, I was getting about that many calories anyway on this woe without trying or keeping track of it. |
