Keep in mind that if you’re doing Atkins, it’s best to consume nuts during the Pre-Maintenance stage. The following, while great for Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL), Pre-Maintenance, or Maintenance, have been known to cause stalls due to either excessive salt, preservatives (nitrates/nitrites), or fake sweeteners like saccharin or aspartame: deli meats, imitation cheeses, nuts, pork rinds, low-carb shake mixes, Sugar-Free JELL-O, & low-carb bars. KISS (Keep It Simple Sweetie) & you’ll lose rapidly. This has unequivocally been my key to long-term success of 7 years: I treat low-carb treats as treats & keep foods pure & whole at least 75% of the time. Remember, Atkins is qualitative rather than quantitative, & about “cleaning it all up,” so keep it natural! Frustrated about nixing the nuts & sweet potatoes just for now? Don’t be. Take comfort in the fact that what stalls you now will rather comfortably maintain you later!
