Like shimmy and the other fellow said if you could just eliminate all simple sugars first that is a great start for the average Joe like me to begin.
I notice if you have no sugars in the house and cook almost all your own food you naturally lose weight. But sugar is so hard to resist.
You really just have to go on the "don't buy it diet"
Great thread. Solid advice.  |
what are the carb allowances for atkins? i was under the impression one does not go into ketosis on atkins? for me, i don't hit ketosis until my daily carbs drop below about 25g.
but, yes, you are correct though, if you cut carbs entirely, you need to up your fat intake and most MOST important is to keep an eye on your protein and make sure you are getting all you require. also, total cals will always count. you can be in ketosis and still get fat if you are over-eating.
Cory is pretty much an expert on this, he'll be able to weigh-in on this with some super solid info. marketsmart prolly has some input he can provide on this too
