Hi all. I am new to the board. I have just started Atkins Induction and I am just finishing day 2. My question is: I have been doing BFL for 6 months now and have decided to do Atkins low carb but also do BFL. How can I do this? LOL Sorry for sounding so stupid but I'm a bit confused with lowcarbing when on BFL when you're meant to have equal portions of protein/carbs at each meal. Please any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

To keep up with the strnuous exercises of BFL you really need more then the 20g of carbs a day induction gives. Instead of going through a full induction, you may want to start off by lowering your carb count to 60g a day. Unless you have some serious addictions to overcome or some medical issues.

Another option would be to take the 2 week rest period between challanges and do Induction at that time.

Read through the sticky at the top about BFL hotlinks, it has threads on doing BFL and low carb at the same time. You wouldn't do the equal amounts of carbs and protien at each meal. Also Atkins is a high fat diet (about 70% of calories come form fat in induction) while BFL is a low fat diet (I think it's 25% of calories are from fat). You really need to decide which program you want to follow nutrition wise first, then slowly modify it to meet your needs.

For me I do around 50g of carbs a day following the Atkins nutrition, and do the BFL workouts as well as the BFL idea of 6 small meals a day, a no fat shake after weights, and the eating around cardio rules.
