Hi all.
Ive been reading quite a fair bit about the Atkins/LC WOE for the past couple of weeks and it seems to me to fit in with my goals, on paper at least lol.
Basically as well as lose weight, I want to tone up and I work out 5x a week (3 days weights).
At the moment, I'm following weight watchers but I dont think its quite the plan I need anymore. Simply because my gym intructor has told me that I need more protein in my diet and less carbs on days I do weights. Also I need to 'burn fat' while building muscle tone at the same time.
Does the Atkins plan follow along these lines? I know its about inducing a Ketosis state through low carb/high protein, but are you still allowed to work out vigourously on the plan? Or would I best look for something similar but not Atkins?
Thankyou to anybody that answers
