Actresses like Renee Zellweger,Jennifer Aniston and Kim Cattrall all employed the weight-loss regimen to shed unwanted pounds, but critics have long complained that the diet seemed to promote meats and fats, not fruits and vegetables. That's a thing of the past. The new Atkins Diet puts to rest this anti-veggie bias once and for all, by supporting vegetable consumption from day one. "If there is one thing to disprove, it's the myth that vegetables are not included on Atkins," says Westman. "That's just not true. On a day-to-day basis, we want people to eat four to five servings of them regardless of the phase." In fact, the new Atkins Diet allows followers to eat more vegetables than ever, by discounting grams of fiber from the total grams of carbohydrates, which the book's authors refer to as "net carbs."
Obamacare will of course impose a 10 percent tax on all diet books and cookbooks, in order to pay for obgyn services for illegal aliens.

Thanks for posting this. I started on Atkins a month or so before the new book came out. As far as I can see it is not really that much different.

But I like it. Workouts seem to have much more effect on a low carb diet. Carbs increase insulin which decreases testosterone and growth hormone so if you eat a lot of carbs you don’t get as much benefit from all the weights and cardio.
