I agree with everyone in that if you combine low cal and low carb, you will be starving your body. Also- where would you get your energy from? If not from the food (fats and nutrients on one hand or carbs on the other) then where else? Impossible.

I'd probably listen to my doctor if he gave me a diet regimen to follow (even if it is 100 carbs) and restricted caloric intake for the short term- even though I do essentially believe in the Atkins way.

Good luck!
