Dr Atkins was very clear to make wise food choices, picking nutrient dense foods. Not to be confused with calorie dense, of course.

And eat a wide variety. I now eat far more types of veg and fruits. Jicama, dragon fruit, leeks, arugula , dandelion and so many more added to the menu.

Nutrients are key.
