As for the zero carb approach, as Mom said, that's not Atkins. Atkins isn't a meat, cheese and egg only diet. So please read the book and do Atkins the proper way. If you still choose to do a "zero carb" approach, please do not call it Atkins because it's not.. |
Thanks. The book I have is his original he put out in 1973. He recommends to cut carbs to the bone for the first two weeks. So that's what I've been doing. Then add a cup of salad greens up to 2 cups a day. Then it reads to add carbs by (I think it said) 5 grams at a time each day and check the keto stick until it no longer turns purple. Then dial back the carbs until you see you are back in ketosis. If I didn't think I needed the salad greens just to keep regular I probably wouldn't eat them. I don't like vegitables that much.
I've always taken a vitamin suppliement. Everything seems to be working fine, I'm not often hungry and feel good like he said I would in his book. I just won't eat fish. yuck.
