I have come to the same conclusion. I am using squash/zucchini base for my stir fries (my primary method of fixing food). I used to use brown rice. I actually prefer the zucchini but of course the $s are a consideration. I don't agree with the Atkins high fats, but I do agree with him on eggs (1/day). I love peppers (just not the very hot kind), mushrooms, and onions. My problem has been time to prepare this food, and I had a kitchen accident with a produce slicer and a rutabaga earlier this year which has put me back (scared to slice vegetables). I am looking at getting a salad shooter or something similar.
