Not a low-carb diet, per se, but the Atkins diet. People are told not to eat fruit and vegetables because they have evil carbohydrates (even though it's more important the KIND of carbs you get--natural are better than processed).

With all due respect, this simply isn't true. You must eat vegetables on Atkins. It is not optional. He simply makes a distinction between the types of vegetables one must have. For example: spinach instead of high GI potatoes. The important thing is to stabilize blood sugars.
