It's true you have to work with what works for you.
But the basic idea of Atkins is basically a load of old shit, and has been proven to be.
Long term it's extremely unhealthy.
Although that's without moderating it.
And the bottom line is that if you moderate it, or amend it to work for you, you are compromising the "science" that makes it work.
When I've lost weight it's
always been on a low fat, high-fibre (high-carb) diet. So it's a given I'd be down on it from the start.
My body works extrememly well on a high carb diet. Which means beans, pulses, wholegrain bread, Shredded Wheat etc as opposed to crisps
I haven't read anything to change my mind about Atkins.
A diet which proscribes many fruits
for life while allowing processed meats...? Nah.
YMMV lovely people.
