On Atkins which is best/worst?
18 Answers
I know on the Atkins Diet carbs are the enemy. To me the main culprits would appear to be bread, potatoes, pasta and rice. But of these 4 or any other biggies that I neglected to think of, which would be the most forgivable to have now and again and which are the biggest no-no's?

Carbs all are,or convert to,sugar-which is the real enemy.
If you eat a meal of carbs and fat-the carbs are burnt first...and the fat is stored. If you eat a meal with just protein and fat-the fat will get utilised first.
Carbs are not the 'enemy' if they are in the form of leafy green veg,and lower sugar fruits such as berries.

are you actually following the atkins diet properly or just going on a general low carb diet?
if just generally cutting down, id say potato is probably the best as you can eat squash, and other root veg.
if you are doing the atkins properly then none at all - you cant have any - at least not until the 4th phase. you also cant have any sugar, fruit, and certain veg.
as said, you cannot cheat at all - you will undo all your efforts in one mouthful and be back to square one.
you would be best buying the book it wil tel you everything.

On the most up to date Atkins ,you can have 20grams net carbs on Phase 1-this increases with each phase. It's not as restrictive as in the past.
