When you talk about diet plans, Atkins Diet Plans
are the most preferred ones. The Atkins Diet recipes are probably
the most well known low-carb/high-protein diet for fast weight loss.
It first appeared back in the early 70's. The Atkins Diet allows
you to eat all the protein and fat that you care to and still lose
weight. You just need to cut out the carbohydrates to become thin.
It's all explained in: Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution ,
by Dr Robert C. Atkins.
Atkins Diet Recipes- Simple Introduction
The first phase of the Atkins
Diet, is the Induction Phase - this is to put you into ketosis.
You cut out almost all carbohydrates except for a few greens, but
you can eat sour cream and steak and eggs. Many doctors say that
ketosis is bad because it puts a strain on your kidneys and may
be fatal.
After the first 2 weeks on the Atkins Diet, you are permitted to
reintroduce a few carbohydrates into your diet
- but very few. The diet states you add until you stop losing weight
- that way you will know your limit in order to lose weight effectively.
Atkins Diet - Claims
- You will lose
weight fast.
- You can eat large amounts of protein and still lose weight.
- You eat very little sugar and white flour.
Atkins Diet - Drawbacks
- Initial weight loss may be quite fast, but is not always sustainable.
- A ketosis-inducing diet may strain the kidneys.
- As many foods high in animal protein may also be high in saturated
fat, your saturated fat intake may be too high for comfort.
- Giving up or severely restricting potatoes, corn, bread, fruits
and vegetables and much more for as long as it takes to lose the
weight, is not a user-friendly diet
plan.
The Atkins Nutritional Approach can stabilize your blood sugar,
lower cholesterol and triglycerides and address many other obesity-related
medical conditions. Unlike other weight loss programs, Atkins
allows you to eat satisfying amounts of delicious, nutrient dense
foods -- and customize the program to your needs and tastes.
