Yes, you can choose to follow either a low-calorie (which still limits carbs to 60) or a low-carb plan. He probably realized that some of his Curves people wouldn't take to a traditional low-carb plan so he made an allowance for that. Remember, this was for an exercise studio primarily, he wasn't just writing a low-carb book.

I'm eating <20 g carbs a day, and staying at 1500 calories, because I have found I don't lose above that. I sure wish there were some Heavin experts here. They don't have a forum. I will go to the first meeting at Curves that discusses his plan and report any info I get in my journal. I guess for now, Schwarz and I are the guinea pigs!
