Looking great, feeling better and turning heads will take care of itself.

Ketones suppress appetite, also cause fatigue, nausea, and a potentially harmful fluid loss. If you have problems with diabetes, heart, or kidney problems check with your physician before following a low-carbohydrate diet. Ketones ( the byproducts of burning fat) suppress the appetite, because of the high protein nature of the diet, reducing spontaneous food intake. Although people are allowed to eat as much as they like, they are eating a fewer calories because they no longer feel as hungry.

Women lose usually an average of around 4-12 pounds. In subsequent weeks, dieters lose an average of 1-2 pounds every week. Women are assigned to read at least one of four diet books. They attended weekly classes for eight weeks where they can ask questions about diet, however they are mostly on their own for the next 10 months

Insulin is a storage hormone, meaning that it causes sugar we do not use for fuel to be stored as fat. It also keeps the body from burning stored fat. Insulin allows the extra sugar to be stored in the liver and muscle as glycogen, but these stores are rapidly filled to capacity. The insulin then converts any extra sugar to fat (the stuff we're trying so hard to get rid of). Insulin is what converts excess carbohydrates to fat. So when you have less carbohydrates you have less insulin and therefore create less new fat.

Insulin controls the movement of sugar from food into the cells of the body where it is then either used for energy or stored as fat. Years of excessive insulin production from eating high amounts of carbohydrates leads to a steady decrease in the sensitivity of the cells to insulin which in turn leads to the body having to make more and more insulin to get the same job done.

During this phase, you would be able to understand the maximum level of carbohydrates needed to take off excess weight. Followers of the Atkins diet tips will use "Ketostix" strips (available from a chemist or health store) to investigate or detect when their body is in a state of Ketosis. When the body is in this state, weight loss is very rapid. - 15343
