That's right. I would say that most of the people who tell me what a rotten diet this is, have not read even the prologue to the book. And that i still eat more veggies than most. As an interesting sidebar: Have a friend who is HFI (heriditary fructose intolerant) and eats no sugar, including fruit, and sweet vegetables. Have known her for 7 years, and she has had ONE cold in that time. Have done Atkins for one year, with NO sugar, and have not gotten sick. Sure is a nice side effect!
