On the contrary, the Zone is not a low-carb diet. It recommends plenty of carbs, almost too much to eat, but they are low-glycemic carbs like fruit and veggies, rather than high-glycemic carbs like pasta and bread. The Zone is an excellent balanced diet that works.

Neither is Atkins a "low carb" diet by that measure. You count "net carbs", which exclude the low glycemic index stuff like fiber. One local Tex-Mex place went so far as to develope their own, made fresh on site, low net carb tortillas, which are in some ways tastier than the regular ones, with a 7 fold decrease in net carbs to less than 3 per tortilla. (And they only chage about a quarter extra for stuff made with them).

What is a '7 fold decrease'?

7 fold compared to what?
