Part-1 Atkins Diet- Proteins and fats are eaten liberally in every phase, but carbohydrates are restricted to different degrees. In the first two weeks ( called the Induction phase) dieters are restricted to 20 grams of carbohydrate per day, or roughly the amount in 3 cups of salad vegetables. Protein is needed by the body to supply the building blocks of all our muscles, organs, hormones, enzymes, etc. Less muscle tissue further contributes to a slowed metabolism, and reduced fat-burning.
The Atkins diet seeks to remove refined carbohydrates and these include sugar, flour, and high-fructose corn syrups. In addition most people end up regaining or gaining back lost weight on extremely limited diets because of the difficulty in sticking to the long-term limitations. Do not expect success on the long term weight loss effectiveness of rigorously restricted diets.In addition, total weight-loss related with improvements in blood pressure are as follows: effects on fasting glucose and total cholesterol levels were variable. After 6 months, the mean reductions in body weight, were: Rosemary Conley 9.9%; Weight Watchers 9.0%; Atkins' 8.9%; and Slim-Fast 6.8% (the differences not significant.)
Carbohydrates consumption should not be more then 20 grams per day. You can have meat, cheese and other dairy products, but in very limited quantities. Carbohydrate-containing foods such as fruit, many vegetables, bread, cereals, rice, potatoes, pasta, cakes, biscuits, sugar, milk and yogurt should be avoided. The next phase is the ongoing weight-loss phase which allows about 40g of carbohydrate a day. Carbohydrates are turned into glucose and are used before fats in our bodies. According to Atkins, if we reduce the amount of carbohydrate intake, our body will burn our fat as fuel and cause weight loss.
Carbohydrates supply fuel for your body, so you're going to expect a feeling of tiredness and fatigued during this phase. Dieters say this is the worst and most uncomfortable part of the diet. Carbohydrates are long chains of sugars, which the body breaks down into sugar. Atkins believes that when people limit the carbohydrates available , they force the body to use its fat reserves as fuel. Carbohydrate intake is limited to 20 net grams per day. The daily diet includes liberal amounts of all types of meats, fish, eggs, low carbohydrate vegetables, and fruits, breads, pasta, grains, and starchy vegetables are prevented.
Carbohydrates and fat provide the fuel that produces that energy and then your body metabolizes (turns or change into energy) firstCarbohydrates are bounded or restricted to approximately 20 grams daily in the first 2 weeks on the Atkins diet.Then a weekly 5 gram gain is followed until you establish your critical carbohydrate level for maintenance.Meaning you need to exclude in your diet mostly pasta, potatoes, breads, waffles and pancakes.
Dieters are advised to remove all carbohydrate for the first two weeks before moving on to the second section, where a few carbohydrates are allowed in the diet. After reaching their target weight, dieters are then told how to maintain the diet. - 15343
