Emma....This is excellent advice. I follow Atkins (1999 version) and I see all too often (mostly not on this board) someone giving advice under the guise of Atkins that just simply isn't in any of the Atkins books and is that advice-givers tweak (or sometimes even a misinterpretation) of Atkins. Tweaks are fine, but it's good to let a newbie know that you're offering your tweak, not something they missed or misunderstood in the book.
