    Question......

    I am on day 2 of Induction. This is my second time doing Atkins. I have had some pain in my ankle and finally went to get some xrays for it. They said I have a small osteochondral leashion. I have an appt with the appropriate doctor and I am pretty sure I will be in a cast for 6 weeks. My question is can you still lose with Atkins while being very limited on the exercise??

    yep but you have to make sure you lower your intake to match your output your CCLL will be lower and you will not be able to eat as much as you were before you injured your ankle unless you match your exercise you were doing with new ones you can do now. Look for some sitting aerobic workouts and you can always use the machines to do strength training.

      Hey Sassy,

      I am sorry to hear about your injury. Go to this web site: http://www.collagevideo.com/ and search the word "seated". It will pull up many exercise tapes that allow people to sit and still workout. It seems many are for older people, but they would still allow you to get in some exercise while in a cast. I hope it helps.
