Atkins

Question

Hi, I'm a 23 year old woman.

I was recently on the atkins diet. After researching it, I found out about all the negative effects it has. I quit the diet, and ate lots of fruit during the day. I have noticed that I am thirsty alot and drink quite alot of water since I stopped the diet.

Is there something wrong with me? I am quite worried about my kidneys. Should I go on a detox?

Thank you!


Answer

DETOX
Hi

Your body is probably going through some changes after all the sudden changes you made. I am glad you stopped the atkins. I would suggest sticking to a balanced diet consisting of plenty of vegetables, wholegrains and lean meats such as chicken, turkey and fish.

Your body just needs some time to get back in tune with itself.
