I've always wondered if people eating LC eat ham - if it's only water weight, it'd come off with clean eating after, right?

If the ham is not one of the summer salty ones and I drink lots and lots of water, I get only a little water gain and the fun of the swoosh when it goes away. Ham is approved for Atkins with the footnote * be aware some hams are cured with sugar which will add to your carb count.

Check your labels.
