The Atkins Diet

[missprim]

Does anyone know if you can eat fruit when on the Atkins diet and if so, does this include bananas?

http://diet.lovetokno...Atkins_Diet_Food_List http://lowcarb4life.s....com/lowcarbfoods.htm here are a few sites I found helpful. Daffy, I can't see how this diet can be dangerous as you are only cutting out foods that can be fattening, not foods on their own but things you do to them i.e spuds into chips and crisps, bread usually spread with marg, and if it's toast, then lots of marg.On the Atkins I will eat meat, fish, poultry,and eggs. Some will be with salad and some will be with veg. Will keep you posted as to any side effects.Good luck Suzie. xx

Suzie didn't realise it was a wind up, you've made me look a bit stupid now :-(

the diet is more controlled than that missprim, you would do better to follow a plan that eradicates junk and alcohol which are both fattening and harmful to health. yes you will lose weight on atkins, but only temporarily, long term you may gain back more weight than you lose.

Thanks Cazz but I never drink alcohol, don't like the taste of it and the medication I'm on doesn't allow it. Don't eat junk food, sausages , burgers etc. My downfall is too much bread and butter, Jacket potatoes ( with butter ) cake , crisps and chips, and these are the foods I will avoid on the Atkins.Also because of my age and arthritis excercise isn't an option, so I will try the Atkins and hopefully I might just lose a dress size before Xmas, and try to be sensible over this time and not eat too much pudding and Christmas cake!
