I'm probably just an idiot who assumed it said that because all the gym rats kept telling me to eat only 5 carbs a day lol. Still, if I only lost 15 that month doing that, I would lose less doing 20 a day so I don't mind. It's nice to know I can bump it up to 20 when I want to though. I bought my book 2 years ago, but have not really paid much attention to it since knowing which foods to eat. I do recall it saying for induction to only buy foods with 0 net cards, so I just assumed if you ate only 0 carb foods, you would only get up to about 5 a day.

As far as I know all the books Dr Atkins wrote said up to 20 carbs per day are allowed initially, and the newer books about the Atkins diet also have you starting at with 20 net carb limit.
