                                According to the official Atkins website, many leafy greens, including lettuce, are considered 'foundation vegetables' and are highly encouraged. This makes lettuce a safe and nutritious staple on the Atkins diet, especially during the more restrictive early phases. With its high water content and minimal net carbs, lettuce is a filling, low-calorie choice to help you stay on track.
