I meant the starch. In Atkins speak, starch is the same as sugar and is sooooo not Atkins approved.
And the goal of Induction is to get the majority of your twenty carbs from vegetables and salads. You my precious little guido are a bad bad girl and don't eat your veggiesAnd I'm shakin' this finger at Heather, too!

Eh... I don't agree that unless you do a diet 110% exact, that you can't constitute the diet as being what you believe it to be. It's one thing if I'm eating my 20 carbs a day in the form of half a donut. It's another thing if I'm allowing 2 carbs worth of starch/sauce thickener on occasion.
There's room for error in everything. We'll have to agree to disagree, Mar.

Mary's probably gonna slap ME for this, , but I kinda agree with you Janina. I think you have to be almost obsessive compulsive to follow any diet to the exact letter. I'm more aware of what I put in my mouth, my carbs are aroun 20 carbs/day, and I'm eating more veggies than I usually do in a month (sad, but true) I've been avoiding sugar, carbs and I guess starches, but I'm not sure what the difference between starches and carbs is...arn't starches carbs?? Anyway....I'm following the Atkins plan as I am able, and it's still Atkins.
