Nails?
I’m noticing that my finger nails are growing fast and very strong,
much more than usual, and I’m thinking it might be from all the
protein, is this just me or does anyone else notice this or other
effects from Atkins?

I have NEVER had fingernails - they used to break down in the quick before I
even saw ‘white’. Now I have to cut them, because they grow too long. I
really don’t eat more protein than I used to, but thanks to FitDay, i am
more aware than ever of the nutrition I take in each day. Every night I run
a daily nutrition report, and then add in what I am lacking in supplements.
Since this has been going on, my nails grow stong and hard. I have just
added Vitamin K to my regimine, as I always seemed to be short on that. I
looked it up, and I think almost EVERYONE is deficient in vitamin K1 (you
have to eat a pound of spinach or kale a day to get your RDA) … and it is
*critical* for bone health.
