The Atkins Diet Review
The basis of the Atkins diet involves cutting carbohydrates from your
diet. You are allowed a small amount of carbohydrates which consist of
the natural carbs found in vegetables.
The diet has been around since the 1970s and The Atkins Diet books have
become best sellers. The Atkins diet has also sparked a lot of
controversy and debate among health care professionals.
Here’s a little more information on the Atkins Diet.
The Atkins Diet is broken into four phases:
Atkins Diet Induction Phase:
This is the first phase and the most difficult to stick with. It last
for 14 days and is designed to throw your body into a state of
“ketosis”. This means your body starts producing ketones from fat which
is used as a fuel source instead of carbohydrates. This allows you to
lose weight very quickly since your body is burning away through your
stored carbohydrate reserves.
You are allowed 20 grams of carbs a day consisting of certain types of
vegetables. You are allowed to eat many types of meat, eggs, oil,
butter, cheese and cream.
Atkins Diet Ongoing Weight Loss Phase:
In this phase you are allowed to add a few more carbs to your diet,
about 40 grams per day. You are told to monitor your weight loss and
adjust your carb intake accordingly. You are also only allowed to eat
certain types of carbs and a full list is included in The Atkins Diet
Book.
Atkins Diet Pre-Maintenance Diet Phase:
You go into this phase when you are almost at your weightloss goal
(about 10 pounds away from target). You are allowed to slightly increase
your carb intake a little further according to the Atkins diet
guidelines.
Atkins Diet Phase Maintenance Diet Phase:
This is the phase you start once you hit your target weight. You are
told to remain at this phase for lifetime to maintain your weight.
Your carb intake is increased slightly further and you are allowed a
little more variety.
