Musika,The Boyfriend and I can count on one hand the number of times we've passed 20g/day, and we've been on Atkins since 8/27/02. Actually, we've found it rather hard to get past that number without adding in fruits, nuts, low-carb desserts, or a glass or two of wine. All the veggies we like are low-carb, so we're still under 20g even though we eat generous helpings of two different vegetables at lunch and dinner both. TB is having a tough time losing, so I'm "keeping him company" by not adding back in the higher-carb foods.
I've actually started wondering if Atkins isn't being a little overly strict by counting total carb grams instead of distinguishing between carbs from green veggies and those from other foods (fruits, cheeses, nuts). I haven't really seen anyone be stalled from eating too many green veggies. Do any of the other plans specifically address differences in how veggie-carbs are treated?
