I am going on the atkins diet, 21 males to lose 1-2stone. is 20g carbs a day safe? i heard it can kill you?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It will not!: But once in ketosis, 40-50g is adequate. Exercise while doing this. It should become a lifestyle, not a diet. I've been low carb since 1995. Avoid processed meats with salt and additives. Get your low cal but nutritious veggies!
