Default Re: Feeling wired...

Another reason for avoiding protein shakes and eating our nutrients instead of drinking them is that they might make your menus top-heavy in protein unless you add fat alongside them.

Many of us use a programme like www.fitday.com which analyses our food intake to make sure we stick around the 65% fat/30% protein/5% carbs that induciton menus work out to.

Remember, Atkins is a highfat/medium protein/low carb regime, not a high protein one! Excess protein can be converted into glucose according to Dr Atkins!
