The Atkins DietMany news sources are needed to throw darts at people who are following the Atkins diet. The most common miss perception is that people on Atkins eats nothing but meat and eggs acids.

Nothing could be further from the truth. Even at the most – restrictive phase of the diet, you are required to eat two cups of iceberg lettuce salad greens and not a cup of vehicles, such as broccoli, spinach, green beans, or many other options.

It is true that you limit carbohydrates, but is surviving on a diet of processed sugar and flour good for you

There are numerous reports of illness or people who do not feel well while eating the low – carb meals. In almost every case, you will find that Atkins has been adapting to the belief that Atkins should be without reading the book or research the proper way to do it. Many try to do without the carbs together, probably because of what they read or hear in the media.

My husband and I have been following Atkins since late August. Both have lost about 30 pounds. My husband once had an incredibly high cholesterol level. After three months, his cholesterol numbers were all in normal range. I take medication for cholesterol and hope to continue it soon. He lived on antacids. I had to take exactly two since August.

We feel that since starting the Atkins diet, we are eating healthier than ever and are feeling the results. We do not plan ever to go back to eating hundreds of grams of carbohydrates daily.
