Cut out carbs and sugar and get rid of the booze. Eat meat with fruit and vegetables and run at least for a half hour three times a week. High protein, low carb and no sugar approach will definitely do it for you. Yeah, that’s easy. Cut out carbs and sugar and get rid of the booze.

If you are performing so much exercise that your reserves are depleting then you probably do not need to be on Atkins as you are already super fit. Where many amateur sports persons and fitness fans go wrong is consuming the wrong type of carbohydrates, and this is what Dr. Atkins tried to teach. Unfortunately, most people think Atkins is 100% protein and no carbohydrates.

In fact, Atkins also emphasis the importance of exercising in his book, but most people miss that part too. Exercise and diet must be done together for weight loss. Yep.

It is a good way to jump start weight loss, just make sure you read the rules of induction first and do not try to guess what the rules are (people often do this then claim that the diet does not work). Basically you need to cut sugar from your diet. Taylor, have you tried Atkins?

Another way to explain is that bad carbs are also "empty carbs". They contain nothing of any nutritional value, just energy. A good alternative to going on Atkins is to eat a <a href="http://www.motleyhealth.com/diet-and-nutrition/low-sugar-diet-plans-and-low-gi-foods" rel="nofollow">low GI diet</a> (essentially a low sugar diet). Once you lose weight you can then eat medium GI foods in and even high moderation.

Not sure what nap 50's are either! Hi Scott, you need to increase protein intake and eat nutritious carbohydrates and drop empty carbs, i.e. bread and pasta. Not sure what nap 50′s are either!
