I am going on the induction phase of the Atkins diet. Can anyone tell me which are the proper testing strips t
I think you need to rethink your choice of diet. The Atkins diet is not a healthy one. Your body needs carbohydrates. There are different types of carbohydrates, and not all of them are bad for you. Look at what all the meat is doing to your body. Personally I believe that the only safe way to lose weight is to totally change eating patterns to a BALANCED diet. Some experts think that the Atkins diet can lead to colon cancer because of the lack of fiber since you are eating so low carb. The metabolic processes involved in using fat for energy instead of carbohydrates can lead to increased uric acid and ketones which can cause kidney problems, gout and headaches. There can be low amounts of dietary fiber on the Atkins Diet leading to constipation and chronic bowel disease. Some doctors believe that the high amounts of animal fat eaten on the Atkins Diet has a bad effect on cholesterol levels and can lead to cardiac disease. Bottom line is stop worrying about how many grams of carbohydrates you eat when you are eating insane amounts of meat. A balanced diet and exercise is always key.
