You are probably right, what I am doing probably couldn't be called true Atkins since I eat 'unlimited veggies' and the red meats are my last protien choice. But, it does put me into ketosis. (which I don't find putrid at all).
As I stated before none of the traditional 'nutritionally adequate' calorie controled diets have worked for me, so the logical assumption for me would be that the deletion of carbohydrates from my diet was what has caused my body to start burning fat.
