Atkins, day 1

I took a week off from BFL, using Thanksgiving as an excuse. Foolish, really.

Anyway, I checked with my doctor about doing Atkins. She said my kidneys were fine, so I could go ahead. (A study that followed 1,624 women aged between 42 and 68 over 11 years found that high-protein diets can make existing kidney problems worse, but don’t damage healthy kidneys. Other studies have shown not even that much danger.) I’m just doing the two-week induction phase, to see what happens.

And tomorrow, back to the gym.

Hope Atkins works for you

Hey, Hee Ann here. I'm hopelessly addicted to noodles, rice and starchy veggies, so Atkins is impossible for me. I'm interested to see how it'll work for you though. Good luck with it.
