Hi Rachel, am interested in what you said about doing atkins while in training. I do a lot of hill walking and was on SS and on an 11 mile hillwalk when I was fainting, sick and dizzy, only to be resuscitated by a snickers and corned beef and pickle sarnie. It got me through and I was still in ketosis. However my CDC suggests that I eat carbs for the 2 days before doing a hillwalk so that I have energy, this worries me as I struggle to get back on the wagon after eating. I'm thinking that atkins would keep me in ketosis but I don't know that much about it and wonder if this would also give me the energy to do a big walk, am doing helvellyn and blencathra in april and may so need a plan. Any advice would be great
