With Atkins, every bite counts.
If you take weight loss medications, Atkins’ low carb lifestyle may support your results. Weight loss medications do come with side effects for some individuals, such as decreased appetite, lack of key nutrients from a low-calorie diet, and loss of muscle mass from not consuming enough protein, which is why it is so important to make every bite count. And that’s where Atkins’ low carb lifestyle comes in.
What’s in Atkins’ One-Day Meal Plan While on Weight Loss Meds?
About 30 percent of this meal plan is protein, which will help you maintain valuable muscle mass. You get 24 grams of fiber (more than the average American), which may help manage any potential digestive side effects like constipation. Healthy, monounsaturated fats give your meals and snacks satisfying flavor, and this entire trifecta of macronutrients ensures you’re getting the nutrition your body needs.
While your meals and snacks may be smaller, these are still big on fresh, satisfying flavors. You’ll find two easy-to-prepare lunch and dinner recipes for salad and soup, a soft-baked Atkins energy bar and a creamy Atkins shake. You’ll love the crisp veggies, sweet (but low-sugar) fruit and protein-rich salmon and chicken in this meal plan.
