    @Qarol, Larius & BigDaddy-See link below. ;) Have a nice day!
    You need 55% of your diet to be carbs, sooo yeah.

    Why is this needed, exactly?
    Atkins is dumb. You need 55% of your diet to be carbs, sooo yeah. Just follow MFP and YOU decide if you get that gum or not. ;) Many gums are sugar free. Best wishes!

    Uh...NO, you DONT need 55% of your diet to be in Carbs.

    Having done Atkins, I have to say it isnt worth the trouble. Find a good balance in your diet of Protein/Carbs/Fat and focus on exercise and calorie intake goals.

    Please tell me what is wrong with a diet that emphasis eating lots of vegetables, protein and healthy fats, with minimal grain- or starch-based carbs. There is nothing in grain- or starch-based carbs that your body requires to function. Nothing.

    That said....To the OP, what the heck do they inject you with anyway? Sounds creepy.
