atkins constipation

[lifigirl]

Hi does anyone know of an atkins acceptable food to combat constipation i know it's a by product of the atkins as i've done this diet before but not sure what is best to use or take

[bednobs]

hi, have you tried doubling your water intake? often this will be enough. and do some extra exercise

In addition to an extra water intake, you probably need to add fibre, which is almost absent in the Atkins Diet. For advice on low carb/high fibre foods, have a look here.
