I think Freckles is right about there being a reason for the 3 cups, or 2 with 1/3 cup cooked veggies. In the new Atkins Essentials book, this is addressed and it basically says that not all carbs are created equal, so you can't eat whatever want all the time even if you stay within 20 carbs. If that was the case, you could consume all your carbs in lc bread, lc snacks, higher carb fruits/veggies, etc. By no means am I an expert, but I had the same thought (complaint ) and this is what my friend told me-she has that book. Once you get past the 2 weeks....and you are ALMOST there...you can revise all of that if you chose anyway. I figure I can do almost anything for 2 weeks.
I hope that helps!!
