Did the good doctor have any particular brand in mind, or was he assuming we could make our own? If the latter, how?
| The corn bran the Atkins website refers to is crude (high maize) corn bran. But it has 0 carbs only in the right serving size, because they round down the numbers.
Also make sure you don't overdo it, or things will either get stuck in your intestines or you'll spend more time than you'd like in the bathroom.  Use it as you would use any fiber supplement or wait until OWL Rung 9 (grains) to experiment with larger amounts.

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!"
