I have switched over this week from Atkins and so far so good. I have decided to do phase one for just a week because I was still on induction with Atkins after 10 weeks.
I have read the book and realise that no restriction is placed on acceptable veggies and even acceptable meats and eggs but what about good oils/fats?
I have been using only olive oil and keeping my meats very lean. But I use quite a liberal amount of good quality olive oil. Should I be restricting this and to what degree do you think?
I did a check in fitday today and can see a marked difference in my percentage of calories from fats but they still make up about 50% of the diet. With Atkins the profile was about 70% fats/25%protein/5 % carbs.
So should I be limiting my use of olive oil more than this in your opinions?
