So, I stopped the Atkins diet and I wanted to say why. Completely eliminating a food group makes it very difficult to lose weight and specially to keep it off. Most of the weight that you lose is water weight. Carbohydrates hold on to a lot of water, and so when you stop consuming carbs, you lose all that water. You are not really burning that much fat and the weight loss is attributed to water.
I am all for eating healthy, more fruits and veges, and working out. You need at least 150 minutes/week of moderate physical activity to have benefits. So that is my mantra from now!
