Isn't the Atkins diet the one that restricts carbs and is a hi protein
moderate fat diet??
It was my understanding that that program tends to put people into Ketosis, a
very dangerous metabolic state.
A program of good nutrition and exercise such as Weight Watchers is the best
as it teaches good habits and takes no risks. I believe WW has a program for
Lactating mothers.
Good luck,
