I've been on Adkins for years. Lost 42 pounds on it in a month and a half then kept it off by sticking to the diet and only allowing myself 2 'cheat' days a month.
Before I started I went through my pantry and threw out, or gave away, any food that was white or made with white ingredients i.e. bread, tortillas anything made with
flour.
The diet's pretty easy - high protein low to no carbs & fat content doesn't matter, high or low, so you can eat all the chicken, beef, pork, salads, veggies you want. You have to curb the fruit because of the carbs
but other then that it's easy, for me at least, to follow.
