Atkins Diet | The J-Pouch Group

Has anyone ever tried the Atkins diet with a J-pouch as a way to thicken things up and slow the system down?

I went on the Atkins diet once well before I had my Jpouch, I lost weight quickly but in the end couldn't handle all the protein and felt it wasn't healthy for me longterm. I would be cautious with a Jpouch as I find if I don't eat carbs with my meals I get diarrhea.

I agree with georgiegirl. Try it, but be careful, I too get diarrhea if I dont eat enough carbs. I can not even go paleo.

Good luck.

Paleo is better. Atkins basically ripped the paleo diet off anyway. So many recipes online to follow for it.

I have a k pouch and have lived on a high protien/low carb diet for the last 25yrs...in my case it helps things 'flow' through my kpouch and out my tube...Which may Not be what a j pouchers is looking for! I like it because it keeps things thin, not thick!

Im about to try it... it seems to be the only way I can lose wait. I am insulin resistant so carbs / sugar really stick!
