i do plan to continue to lump all low-carb plans together, not to be argumentative, but simply by definition, they are all advertised as such, and treated as such, by the average person.

should any of the low-carb plans want to somehow differentiate itself from other low-carb plans, it is up to that plan to make that differentiation known to the general public. at this point, the general public lumps them altogether, so i will do the same, for it is this same general public that i am aiming to help, not those who have already made up their minds. i know you may think that the atkins plan is different. it may well be. but unfortunately for them, the term "atkins" is used by the public when referring to low-carb diets, in much the same way that the term "coke" is used quite often by the public to refer to a soft drink. being number 1, most certainly has its merits as well as its pitfalls.

however, if there is a particular plan that you would like to discuss, that you think merits special attention, because of its difference to what the other low-carb plans tout, i am happy to discuss this with you.

i think in previous posts, since you made this post, i have answered why i am here (i will intentionally dismiss "still here" - LOL), and what my eating regimen is, but if this was not done to your satisfaction, i will attempt to do so, at your request.
