[B]Hi Roch!

I guess that would all depend on what your goal is. If it's just to lose weight, that would work. If you want to lose weight and stay healthy, that's not going to work very well in the long run. It's also going to get very boring after several months of just protein foods.
Dr. Atkins discourages the use of processed meats that contain nitrates and fillers and says to limit their use and encourages intead the use of pure unprocessed meats instead. QUOTE]
