Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution

At good-stewards-mall.com we promote the latest e-book by Dr Atkins and emplore anyone interested to read this report on the contents.

Needless to say the Atkins diet has hit the world by storm over the past few decades. My wife, daughter and daughter in-law seem to swear by it. The concept of the book is based on the fact that there are those of us that need to be concerned with the carbohydrates we eat, not the fat. On a somewhat personal level I can attest to the great success of using the system of dieting taught in the book. what I wonder though is how many others think that it works and whether is is for them or not.

When you're on the diet there is very little calorie counting, but i'm pretty sure as with any diet junk foods and processed foods go out the window. Your carbohydrate intake goes way down and you learn what foods are high in protein. The theory is that by lowering your carbohydrate intake you enter a phase called Ketosis. During this "Ketosis" your body will burn fat in the body for fuel instead of using the foods in your diet, which will in turn prevent more fat from being stored. Yet with any diet look at what happens when you get down to the desired weight and go off the diet!

In the book it is mentioned that there are four main stages to the diet: Induction, ongoing weight loss, premaintenance, and maintenance. During the first two weeks, you are in the induction stage, many people have lost up to 15 pounds or more so I have noticed. This is due to carbs being taken out of the diet as a main staple or at least down to 20 grams or more every day. The carbs that you can have some vegetables that are low in them. The second stage, known as ongoing weight loss, will let you have 25 grams of carbs everyday. You then move to the pre-maintenance stage, in which you can try other foods to see what carbs you can add into your diet. After you have reached your weight loss goals, you may eat these foods. Choosing healthy carbs is to become a way of life. I would have to say then that fluctuation is primarily due to choosing not to continue to eat healthy, and believe me I have seen the fluctuations and the frustration.

Also we can't forget an incorporation of exercise. Healthy lifestyle changes, such as quiting smoking, are also important. Many people have called into question the safety of the Atkins diet due to its severe methods, and some say that the plan only makes you bounce back to your original weight as soon as you hit the maintenance level. The key is to find something that works for you and your weight loss goals and that is healthy for your body.
