Atkins Accel - What's up with the Caffeine?
Has anyone else bought Atkins Accel. I didn't read the list of ingredients before buying. Just knew I wanted help to speed things along. To my surprise tho there's a caution on the bottle which reads as follows:
"This product contains naturally-occurring caffeine, approximately equal to one cup of coffee per serving. Consult your physician before using if you're on a caffeine- restricted diet."
Well as far as I know I'm on a caffeine-restricted diet advocated by the makers of this product. How do they reconcile the two? Does anyone have an answer?
I've actually taken 3 of the tabs which btw you're supposed to take one with each meal therefore approximately 3 cups of coffee caffeine equivalent daily. I've stopped taking them as I felt kind of sick and nervy and had pains the first day I took them. Wondered if I was having a HEART ATTACK so I decided to stop.
Remind me pls someone of why caffeine is bad for low-carbers and if you can point me to a page in DANDR that explains it.
Thanks.
