Re: Giving blood on Atkins...
FYI--I think donating blood is great, but I suggest not donating every 3 months. I should think twice per year to be suffice. The reason for this is to preserve your veins. My husband is a paramedic specialist (non-practicing), and he says that giving blood too often affects your veins adversely, so that needle insertion becomes more difficult.
I tend to believe him when it comes to needles, as he was extremely good at his job.
