Default Question about berries?

Okay, in the induction list, it does not list any berries...right? Anyhow, I was reading the Dr. Atkins New Diet cookbook (1997 edition) which is based on the Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution. (not the 2002 edition of course)....

Anyhow, my question is that in his induction diet menu plans he uses berries in several of his recipes. Whats up with that? My aunt said that when she did Atkins in the 70's she used to eat all the strawberries she wanted...and lost weight! Well, i told her its not like that anymore and she tried to do atkins again without re-reading the book and ate strawberries like before and she bombed and didn't lose the weight...she assumed it was because she cannot lose the weight anymore and gave up...I tried to tell her but she wouldn't listen. Anyhow, so the old way allowed berries but the way does not? Am i correct in this?
