Review - The Atkins Diet
The Atkins Diet is based on keeping the body in a state of ketosis. Ketosis causes the liver to convert fatty acids into energy instead of using carbohydrates.
I’ve worked the Atkins Diet and lost 34 lbs. I lost weight until I got off the weight loss plan and returned to my bad eating habits. The diet lets you intake fats and proteins, but limits carbs to encourage your body to enter a natural state of ketosis. The human body then starts breaking down fat cells to use as a source of nutrition. Fat and protein will leave you feeling more satisfied and hold your hunger between meals.
Dr. Robert Atkins, the author, explains the theory behind the Atkins Diet: your body's main source of energy is from carbohydrates. If you significantly decrease your intake of carbohydrates, it forces your body to utilize your stored fat for energy.
The Atkins Diet Advantage program offers pre-packaged low-carbohydrate to make meal planning quick and convenient.
Studies are continuing to determine how the Atkins Diet affects weight for more than one year. Studies were conducted on the Atkins Diet for 1 year indicated measurable fat loss.
Details of the Atkins Diet program are written in an easy to follow format in the Diet Revolution and the New Diet Revolution, by Dr. Atkins
