What effect...change of diet.
Hi Again all...
In the near future, my wife and I will be going on a 2 week vacation, and the foods being served where we are going will be low fat, high carb - lots of fresh fruit, some breads, cereals, rice. Little fat and protein. Meat and cheeses and not common, or very expensive. What do you think will happen with a two week change like that after being on Atkins for 6 months, and then returning to Atkins. GT |

However, if you don't overeat, which may be hard to do, you should not gain a lot of weight. For some, stopping LC and switching to LF can be a good way of making better progress when you return to LC. Those of us who weight train, will frequently have a weekend of LF eating to refill muscle gylcogen, and then resume LCing. Now, if you either of your are diabetic, or pre-diabetic, then things may not be so good, since all of those carbs may send your BG level out of control. I'd say to steer to the high-fiber veggies as much as possible, and try to eat the high-fat veggies if possible. |
