You can find this in Chapters 13, 14 and 17 in "Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution" (2002). The same information is summarized here: http://www.atkinsdietbulletinboard.c...-ace-ccll.html (What is my ACE (CCLL)?)

"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!"
