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! |
Ive been using fitday.com for quite a while before I considered and started this approach to eating - an invaluable resource thats for sure!
Since being on AD I have monitored my protein intake and ensured that fat would always be higher. The protein powder that I have is 'save' but still, the banana/coffee sweetness it has drives my insane and I just feel that I cant cope with it at this early stage if im going to be consistent throughout.
Guess its one for ebay or amazon
Thanks for your input!
