I read an article on a woman who did atkins for a long period of time and now her body can no longer handle carbs of any sorts. On top of that why would you want to omit a food group?

Jesus christ!

People actually believe this ste?

Daily mail reader no doubt.

dropped from 13st 4lbs to 11st 8lbs.
and most importantly not required the usual daily intake of rennies after eating anything.

I was getting indigestion nigh on every day.

I totally agree that there are many health benefits to lowering sugar and refined carbohydrate consumption. I think that the Atkins diet is less healthy than, say, a 'paleo' diet but I haven't found any evidence that a low carb diet is actively negative in terms of health.

As a matter of interest, what do you all have for breakfast? Eggs and / or porridge? Do you eat stevia sweetener?

On training days I usually have a protein shake with some instant oats in. I don't like to swim with food in my stomach. Otherwise its eggs or home made Granola, use a bit of honey in the granola which is not great but is a small amount and at least honey as some nutritional benefit.
