Atkins diet blog

Hi there:
My name is Tony
I’ve recently evolved from a Candida/Cave-man Diet onto what now looks like
an Atkins Induction Low-Carb Food Plan as part of my Overeaters Anonymous
recovery.
The only main difference between the Candida/Cave-man Diet and Atkins
Induction is my giving up the Yogurt, Fruits, and Nuts.
Over the years, I’ve tried to follow a number of different food plans, diets
and regimens which all seemed to include too much carbohydrates for me.
I have finally discovered that I am allergic to so many carbohydrates, that
even a sensible food plan that had moderate amounts of bread, rice, or
potatoes etc.. was sheer poison for me. even a couple of ounces of carbs
would through me into allergic reactions and I would blow up like a balloon.
I started a “low-to-no” carbs diet a month ago under my doctor’s
supervision.
No carbs doesn’t really work since there are “hidden” carbs in everything,
and absolutely “NO” carbs also gets me into really bad headaches and kidney
trouble.
I’ve gradually fallen into a basic Atkins Induction Diet.
Also I have really high bad Cholesterol so I have to be careful with the
high fat part of the AI diet.
Would substituting 3-4 tbs. Flax seed oil per day for the high fat be a good
move for me?
So here’s the score after 4 weeks of what started out as a Candida/Cave-man
Diet and is now Atkins.
300/270/170
All the best! And good luck to all you Low Carbers out there!
Tony
