Good morning!
I'm doing a modified version of the Atkins diet. My doctor likes the Atkins but with some changes. I can eat small portions of unrefined carbs (whole grain products -- not white flour or sugar items). So the Wonder bread is out and the 100% whole wheat is in.
The regular pasta is out and the wheat past is in (in very tiny portions). I can even eat an occasional small piece of fruit (no juice) like a small apple or half of a small banana. I also have to watch the types of fats I use (no, I can not eat unlimited quantities of bacon and cheese -- my blood pressure skyrocketed the last time I tried true Atkins).
Whatever program you are on, I wish success to you all!
