Not everyone can afford eating 50 net carbs, regardless of the size they are when starting the diet. If you show us research to prove that your way of doing "Atkins" works better than what Dr. Atkins himself wrote, I would be glad to read it and comment on it. However, if you don't, let's advise members to do things by the book, because what is written there was proved to work for almost everybody. Of course, these are just mathematical probabilities, but you agreed we should go with them.

"The truth is that temptation lurks everywhere, unless you deny yourself a social and working life and the attendant pleasures of eating out. I believe that the best way to overcome temptation is not with willpower, which is so often in short supply, but with our brain power, a potentially unlimited resource.
Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
