Hello all, i am starting the atkins answer diet and was wondering about foods to eat. IT says to stay away from carbs and have max 20grams a day. In the book that comes with the package it says for breakfast many different combos but all with eggs. I have somewhat high cholestrol and should prob stay away from eggs but all the breakfast examples are with eggs. ANyone know what else you can have? ALso is it alright to eat eggs every day or several times a week? THanks for the help,
RYan

With hight colesterol you probably should stay away from Atkins completely.

Atkins claimed his plan actually helped cholesterol levels . . . eggs and all. And I have known people who go on it and claim the same thing. And then there are the studies that claim that the cholesterol in eggs really does not translate into higher blood cholesterol levels. Are you going to be monitored by your doctor?

If you stick with Atkins as dictated in the book, you should see success. As with any diet, you should always consult your doctor. After trying Atkins for several months and following as stated, I lost 30lbs. I being a "Doubting Thomas" went to my doctor and had a full blood study and was told my number was some of the best he had seen in quite some time. This was almost 4 years ago. I did gain back some of that weight, but I realize it was because my overdosing on complex carbos.
I believe what Atkins, the Zone and other similar diets are attempting to say it to mange our carb intake, which when you research really do have many adverse effects when endulged to much.
The utlimate decision must come from you and your satisifaction with your results. God Bless and good luck.
