Atkins no longer works for me,
There's actually an interesting reason for that. And this is because the "Atkin's Diet" has been bastardized by the Big Food industry. If you read Dr. Atkin's New Diet Revolution and applied it faithfully, that actually works each and every time, because it was a whole food only true keto plan. After his death, the "Atkin's" brand was sold to another company. They revised the diet and started making "Atkin's" shakes, cookies, bars, treats, etc. Dr. Atkin's would be rolling in his grave if he new that processed so-called "keto" foods were being marketed using his name.
Keto can fall into the same trap. REAL keto is meat and low carb veggies. But today, you go to the store and there are "keto" breads, tortillas, cookies, pastas, shakes, etc, produced by Big Food manufacturers who don't want you eating just fresh meat, cheese, and veggies, because they don't make money off you that way. If you eat that stuff, you will struggle to lose weight.
I wholeheartedly support a TRUE keto lifestyle, as well as a carnviore lifestyle, which is the ultimate zero carb ketogenic diet. I've lost 50 lbs in the last 6 months and have built a community around helping others do the same.
