Athletes And Low Carbohydrate Diets Posted: 07-11-07 09:04am
Hi. I'm an athlete. A year ago i hurt my
knee and I couldn't do anything physical
and I put on 30 pounds. A couple of month
ago I started do exercise again and I put
myself on Atkins. I don't feel well, am
nauseous all the time. Is this normal? Is
it form the Atkins diet?

probably..atkins is low carb
correct...getting rid of carbs is really
not a healthy way to loose weight in my
opinion..you should have a well balanced
diet including ALL food groups..eat
healthy carbs not refined..

The main problem with Atkins is that it
doesn't stress the quality of the food
you're supposed to eat, which is wrong.
If you eat around 200g or so of vegetable
carbohydrates a day, you'll be fine.
Weight lifting, I use a diet somewhat
similar to Atkins but with around 200g of
carbohydrates, all from healthy vegetables
and fruits. I eat around, jeez, ummm, 15
servings of them per day. Do that and
you'll be fine if you want to eat lower
carbohydrates. If you follow a diet
similar to many indian tribes, which was
primarily meat/nuts/berries/greens, you'll
get amazing results.
