Absolutely, Amie! I eat far more veggies now than I ever did on low fat; usually 5-6 servings a day. I also eat some low glycemic fruits such as berries and melons when they are in season. Nowhere in Dr. Atkins' book does he say that we must never eat veggies and fruit again. In fact, he encourages it! Even on induction, you are encouraged to eat at least 3 servings of veggies each day; more if you can stay under 20 grams of carb a day which isn't hard if you select low carb veggies and aren't scarfing down candy bars on the side.
