I have tried Atkins in the past but always blew it on the first weekend. This time I have the resolve to keep it going as long as it takes to loose the 60 pounds.

I have always had the following question: I have read Dr. Atkins book. The two cups of salad and 1 cup of other veg's seems like a lot fewer than 20 grams of carbs. For example, 1cup of butterhead lettuce is .7 net carbs (two cups is 1.4). 1 cup of red peppers is 6.6 net carbs. If I ate this as my two cups of salad and 1 cup of other veg I would be at 8 grams of carb. I'm confused!!!!
