Cyborg, I'm confused...

I don't agree with your statements whatsoever. I've read the Atkins books and his diet plan does depend on a lack of carbs, not calories. If you are low-carbing on an Atkins diet, what exactly are you replacing the carbs with? Lard???

As far as nuts go, they are full of fat. Perhaps eliminating carbs while introducing large amounts of fat in it's place can help to control bg, but in terms of weight loss, it's the calories that count, IMO...
so which is it?

weight loss depends on removing carbs and is independent of calories consumed? Or as I was trying to say is dependent on calorie intake?

is it me or are these 2 statements contradictory?
