Modified Atkins diet and Epilepsy
Mon, 04/17/2017 - 16:32Hi,
I recently started the Modified Atkins diet and feel overwhelmed with everything. What are some meals that people on the diet like to eat? Because the diet is targeted towards weight loss, how many carbs do people on the diet usually eat? How do you eat out?
Thank you,
Emily

It is a fatty diet. I hear that only children benefit from it since their brains are still growing. Adult's don't so it may not help.
I think the formula is high

I think the formula is high fat, low carbs.
