Can I eat tuna fish whilst following the atkins diet?
Yes, Tuna is allowed on the Atkins diet. Tuna is actually very good for you, but is not recommended that you eat it every day, because of mercury levels, etc. I like to put the tuna on a plate and melt some cheddar cheese over it in the microwave. Another thing that is good is if you heat a half of a tomato with mozzerella cheese on it, and then slice it up and eat that with your tuna. You can also make tuna wraps with lettuce leaves and put other veggies in there. You can also have a little mayo if you want. I put pickles and mayo in my tuna.
Firstly, I’d like to agree with everything Quack Doc just said. Most of the anti-Atkins comments here are clearly being written by people whose only understanding of Atkins has come from disreputable tabloids. Dr. Atkins didn’t develop a ‘diet’. He suggested a totally different way of eating that was designed for life. Obviously, people who use the Atkins plan as a ‘diet’ and then revert to their previous bad eating habits are likely to regain the weight they lose but that’s true of any temporary diet. No matter what method you use to lose weight, if you don’t change your underlying problem with food then you aren’t going to change yourself permanently. The good news about the Atkins way of eating is that once you have accepted that you’ll eat low carb FOREVER, then you are guaranteed to spend the remainder of your life lean and healthy. I’ve been eating low-carb for over five years now. And despite the scare-mongerers, my fitness level is higher now than it was 20 years ago. My choles
