For what it is worth, I started what I thought was the Atkins plan. I did what I thought for a month and a half. Basically, I just kept all my carbs. under 20 no matter what the food was, I still lost 40 lbs. in that time span. So, I am not telling anyone to break the rules or change the plan, but I am telling you that a mister meaner like spinache may not be that big of a booboo. Everyone has to make up their own mind what works for them. BUT, since I found out I am doing it all wrong, I now have the book and am doing a clean induction. Just FYI and hope it helps.
