Hello Sim, I'm sorry, but I don't agree with Atkins diet... being that you are fuelling your body with something that isn't redially available you are weakening your muscles.. You are having and "unclean" burn of your energy... Ketosis is something you might like to google if you are unfamiliar with this term... I truely feel that carbs in their truest form are the fuel of choice along with your lean meats, fruits and vegs... By those carbs I'm referring to brown rice rather than white for eg, whole wheat bread instead of white, oatmeal instead of a bowl of sugar crisp ... I wish you healthy nutrition to fuel your healthy body so that it can perform well for you... All the very best
