as of yesterday i decided to go an atkins diet because i have been injured and unable to train or play football for 4 months and i am beginning to put on weight( i have always been 10 1/2 stone b now i am just over 12!really not happy with it.
im a bit confused with what i can and cannot eat.
can you put a little bit of tomato sauce on your food.
how long do you stay on the diet for?
any help would be greatly appreciated

be warned, if you're gonna do it, do it properly!!

My friend was doin it and the only thing she did wrong was have milk in her coffee instead of cream and it made it not work!!!!!

[ZRVic]

she was eating loads, but she hated not being able to eat fruit and that!!

she lost about 2 lb in 2 weeks!!!!!!!!! all coz she didn't have cream!!

look the atkins only works if cut out all carbs thats ZERO carbs having eggs and cheese are a no no. if u have steak every meal and water ull loose stones inside weeks but ure kidney takes a heavy beating and ull have bad breath and feel weak


ure allowed 4 weeks max on this diet after that u could be septable to permanent damage

I did it for a month and lost 2 stone! I found it easy Yummy steak but it's hard to stick to! I found it easy and it didn't give me any side affects due to the fact I cannot eat veg anyway! And am practicallya carnivore anyway!

 

[brettytopbanana]

you can eat eggs and chees because on the atkins website it give recipes for omlettes with cheese and cheese snacks

You can eat eggs they have only 0.007g of carbs and cheese is 0.0g
You are allowed either 10g 50g or 100g of carbs a day depending on how much you want to loose. Tea and coffee is ok aswell aslong as you use sweetners and skimmed or semi skimmed milk.
I have been on and off it since january and have lost nearly 4 stone and i feel great for it.

u have milk???

my friend was told by her doctor not to use milk!!

I'm confused!

 

[brettytopbanana]

i have scoured the atkins website and i cant find anything about milk
