Hi! I'm new here so I hope you don't mind me asking a few things!
I have PCOS and my BMI is 27.4 I've tried diets like Special K etc and found I lost no weight and the. I read that the Atkins diet is perfect for people with PCOS.
Today was my first day on atkins, I read the following of foods that were acceptable for induction from their website and no limit on protein http://www.atkins.com/getmedia/61f15474-b7a1-4c46-93d6-341b858b916d/AcceptableFoodsPhase1_0818.aspx
So today I've had;
2 plain chicken breast
4 rashers of bacon
3 fried eggs
2 ounces of cheese
500g cucumber
Looking at their website I've had around 11.4 net carbs, 135.6g protein, 65.1g fat and 1200 calories.
I thought I had done good until when I read further your fat should account for 65% and protein only 35% and for every pound I weigh I should aim for half that in fat so around 89g
Am I doing this right? I feel like I'm not!
Thank you I'm advance for your replies
