If you follow the link on that page to the actual list of allowed foods for Phase 1, you'll see the following note at the bottom of the page:

** If you have decided to stay in Induction longer than 2 weeks, you may swap out 3g NC of other foundation vegetables for 3g NC of nuts or seeds. Do not let your Foundation Vegetable levels drop below 12g NC.

So technically .. nuts aren't allowed during the first two weeks of Phase 1, which parallels Dr. Atkins' original 14-day Induction. Nuts are allowed in Phase 2 (a.k.a. OWL or Ongoing Weight Loss). Please see the sticky thread near the top of this subforum Phase 2: OWL.
