Debbie. It is not true to call Atkins a no carb diet. It starts with 20g a day, for two weeks, then increases by 5g at a time until the dieter ceases to lose weight, then she cuts back by 5g a day till she is losing again. So, for many people, they can have 30 or 50g of carb a day. Therefore, it is very wrong to call it zero carb.
