The Dr Atkins Low Carb Diet

Atkins Diet Nutritional Principles - According to Dr Atkins

1. This low carbohydrate diet will help you lose weight. For the small numbers who have a truly hard-core metabolic resistance to weight loss, there are ways to overcome the barriers that prevent successful weight loss.

2. You will keep the weight off. Almost every experienced dieter has embarked on a weight loss program, worked hard at it, lost a lot of pounds and gained them all back in a few months or perhaps a year. This is usually due to the expected consequence of low-fat, low-calorie weight loss diets: hunger. Once the biological gap between hunger and fulfillment grows too large, the rebound can be rapid. People who do the Atkins weight loss plan gradually find their effective individual level of carbohydrate intake, the tool that allows them to experience weight loss and maintain a healthy weight for a lifetime.

3. You will achieve good health. With the Atkins diet, you meet your nutritional needs while achieving weight loss by eating healthy, wholesome foods and omitting junk food. As a result, fatigue drops from your shoulders. This occurs not merely due to weight loss, but because the physical consequences of a truly dysfunctional blood-sugar and insulin metabolism are reversed.

4. You will lay the permanent groundwork for disease prevention. By following the Atkins diet individualized controlled carbohydrate nutritional approach that results in lower insulin production, people at high risk for chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension and diabetes will see a marked improvement in their clinical parameters.
