Well I know abit ago I was worried about eating to much spinach salad... and wondered if I was messing up on that... though right now I can't eat spinach salad I atleast know that I was doing okay...

I couldn't understand if It was only 1 cup of spinach salad because it was part of the 1 cup veggies and I did make a few others confused lol sorry.

But at the link below at Day 1 lunch you can see they allowed 2 cups of Spinach salad Which they seem to make it out like spinach goes with the 2-3 cup salad rule? http://www.atkins.com/articles/atkin...tion-meal-plan

that has to do with the changes that were going to be in the new vewrsion of DANDR that never got written just be careful when you follow ANA as they made other chanhges cause they decided folk were too lazy to follow Dr Atkins advice and fitted the eating to convenience foods.

The change in the veggie list happened with The Atkins Essentials, the book published after Dr. ATkins' death. It's a sort of "Atkins for Dummies" book. Anyhow, they made a couple of vegetables "salad" and "other". I think it was based more on how people use those vegetables rather than the carb count because tomatoes made it to the "salad" list. 1 cup of tomatoes is about 5 net carbs. So it's easy to eat 15 net carbs worth of tomatoes, add to it the other carbs you need to count (cheese, cream, sweetener, some beverages, eggs, etc.) and it's possible to eat well above the 20 net carb limit.

thanks I'd rather do it the old way. Didn't really think of it that way 2big. But I can see what you mean. I'll just stick to the 1 cup way and 2-3 cup way.
