Atkins/Low Carbers where are you?

i thought atkins was a brand that sells snacks, meals and drink etc?! not a diet plan hah

Lol, no.

I eat low carb (most of the time) I haven't followed Atkins or any specific diet. Maybe I would align closely with Paleo eating? But I eat cheese and dairy and they do not. I feel we don't need a label, sometimes people get so caught up in saying what they are. I love low carb eating! You have to feel it out and see how it makes you feel. I feel amazing when I restrict my carbs. My body isn't swollen and I feel light and healthy. Eating whole unprocessed foods is my main focus, I get plenty of good fats and some carbs from fruit or sweet potato.
I have heard good things about Atkins as well, but I always get put off by complicated diets and phases. I just follow some basic guidelines.
I've been on this forum awhile, but usually just as a reader. I think Low Carb diets get a bad rep on here, as many people feel that macro counting with a moderate to high carb level is the best way to lose weight for everyone. I don't discount that this may work well, but I also believe there are many ways to get things done, low carb is the way of eating that makes me feel best. Good luck to you! If you need specific advice let me know.
