Re: Atkins Diet - Lets Discuss Pros/Cons/Experiences
I dont know exactly how atkins works, or what it reccomends, but I know about ketosis and such, it works GREAT for dropping body fat. when I cut, I do a modified atkins I guess, no carbs, a lot of fats, meat, and greens, and on workout days a post workout shake, if you work out hard enough you can still get into ketosis (there are little strips you piss on to tell you if you are in it). I respond very well to this diet, the first day on, Im fine, 2nd day, Im a little sluggish, usually the 3rd and 4th days Im a zombie and have to power through, but the 5th or 6th day its like a miracle and I just have more energy etc that when Im eating carbs. Usually my workouts are savage too, I dont know why or what it is, my guess is increased testosterone levels, etc, but it works great imo.
edit: this is why I like biotests post workout shake, it forces you to go to the gym because when you are eating no carbs, and want something sweet its like a treat.
