First of all, the Atkins Diet is far, far from impossible, as thousands, if not millions, of happy long-term Atkins dieters can attest. Your problem apparently is that you haven't read Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution, but rather are sort of making up a version of what you think Atkins is - all meat and eggs - from anecdotal reports and popular press articles. The Atkins Diet does not, does not, DOES NOT ban fruits and vegetables. Am I clear here? Really, it doesn't. Never did.
