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.)
