I heard that you shouldnt have any extra iron in your diet on atkins. I do have a protein shake that I really like alot but has 6mg of iron per serving. Is this bad for me?

The Atkins nutritional approach includes food high in iron, so you probably don ' t need an iron supplement.
Also, iron supplements tend to cause or worsen constipation. Many people on Atkins battle constipation. ( Eating a variety of low - carb veggies helps. )
