Thoughts on "Turbo Atkins", anyone?
So I saw a magazine at the store and TURBO ATKINS grabbed my attention, so I scooped it up. They are claiming you can lose up to 16lbs in a week. I joined a "Biggest Loser" competition at work and need a little boost I guess.
A very brief article, with sample menus which all seem to be legal / induction and Atkins friendly. The only thing is that THEY state you can have red wine, which I know is a DEFINITE no-no, especially during induction.
Basically, what it boils down to is that you make fish your main source of protein every other day, adding extra protein from eggs, poultry and lean meat if still hungry. Tossing all your veggies in olive oil. Well DUH, I thought. They called it Mediterranean-Atkins menus.
I'm not "new" to this woe, but I wanted to throw this out there and get some more "seasoned" Atkineers thoughts and ideas on this "Turbo" Atkins. The word "turbo" alone seems silly to me, and I know we all lose weight at different rates. Atkins is a lifestyle CHANGE and not a quick fix. The article didn't tell me anything I didn't already know from my DANDR but I just wanted to see what you guys thought, if anything. I know follwing DANDR is the only way here, but inquiring minds wanna know sometimes, ya know?
Much love and thanks to you guys!
