Can a normal weight person do Atkins?
Atkins is recommended for more than weight loss. It is a ticket to weight maintenance, good health and disease prevention. Anyone can experience the health benefits associated with controlled carbohydrate nutrition. Use an Induction level menu as a base, and then add liberal amounts of vegetables low in carbs with a smaller amount of nuts and starchy veges such as yams, carrots and peas. Also add fruits such as melons and berries, as well as legumes and whole grains. While consuming a regular intake of protein, add as much of these foods at levels that allow maintenance of a normal weight. Be use to use a variety of natural fats such as olive oil, butter etc. Do avoid empty carbs in the form of packaged or processed foods, added sugars and foods with manufactured trans fats.
