ATKINS
FOOD SELECTION
While on Atkins, you are encouraged to eat as much
protein and fat as you wish, literally eating until you are stuffed.
Yet your carbohydrates are limited, especially in the induction
phase where they are forbidden. Some foods that are not suggested
are potatoes, corn, bread, fruits and vegetables. It is a topic
of much debate whether it is healthy to cut out many foods that
provide many of the vitamins and minerals required for a healthy
body. However, if you manage to design a diet that allows you to
obtain these vitamins and minerals while adhering to the plan could
make it more feasable, if you get past the ketosis factor.
EATING OUT
Eating out with Atkins is not extremely difficult,
but it forces you to do without potatoes, rice, pasta, rolls and
dessert. Once you have gotten accustomed to the plan, it will be
easier to decide what to order to maintain your diet.
ATKINS AND CHILDREN
It is very difficult to avoid breads and cereals within
families whose kids love them. Also, it can be hard to keep children
away from sugar and fruit. The diet is also not recommended for
vegetarians.
