I guess I assume most people know what I mean when I say I cut out carbs. It has always bugged me that is the main misunderstanding with Atkins, that all you eat is bacon and butter. When I was doing hardcore Atkins I don't think I've eaten so many vegetables in my life, even more than on Weight Watchers or any other 'diet' (and they tasted so much better than any low fat diet where vegetables are plain steamed atrocities, lol). And yes, many people don't understand that vegetables have more than enough carbs for that to be your main source.

I don't eat oatmeal though for the most part - gives me heartburn. I do eat potatoes, very sparingly. Usually the purple ones
