What is the difference in DANDR 2002 and the New Atkins for a New You?
Has anyone done a comparison? Is it something to do with the amounts and types of vegetables allowed, or something more? I've been hanging out at the Atkins.com forums and there seems to be a huge emphasis on getting exactly 20 net carbs a day, 12-15 of which come from vegetables. Is that something new really or just the same?

Dr. Atkins plan (2002) says 20 net carbs a day, 12-15 coming from veggies on the acceptable foods list. Personally, I stick to what Dr. Atkins himself wrote, not anyone else's interpertation of what he wrote:) |
I just re-started Atkins today, after doing my own thing for a while. I need to get oriented again on the very clean basics. Time to pull out my book! :)
Okay, my 2002 book says 2-3 cups loosely packed salad vegetables (from the list) plus 1 cup of cooked vegetables (from a second list, that has a few of the same veggies from the first list.) A typical salad for me consists in a cup of lettuce, a few chunks of tomato, some green bell peppers, olives, and olive oil for dressing. Two of those a day don't get anywhere close to 12 NC. And a cup of broccoli cooked has slightly less than 4 NC. I notice a suggestion to eat half an avocado, and 10 olives. That would bring the count up a bit. |
