No accounting for incompetence!

This bothers me.  An infant young enough for baby food should certainly not
be on a low carbohydrate regimen, no matter what dietetic foolishness his
mother may be indulging in.

Only the "Induction" phase of the Atkins regimen is strictly no-starch,
no-sugar.  The Weight Reduction and Maintenance phases want you to add some
in back, gradually, to achieve the desired effects.  Induction is very
specifically designated as NOT for an indefinite lifestyle.
