I need to go on Atkins. I’ve tried it before but found it a boring diet. I can go without pasta but craved breads. Sadly one Guinness sets one back 10.6 carbs.
Atkins and Keto are great starter diets, but they’re hard to maintain long term and can be rough on your liver. If you can adhere to them for 4 weeks, you should rid yourself of any cravings for carbohydrates and can reintroduce fibrous carbs like fruits.
My rule of thumb is to avoid any “white” foods (yes, that’s racist) such as bread, white rice, potatoes, and sugar. Everything else is fair game. Weight will come off naturally.
