This is a question I get very often. Let me share what I think about the Dr Atkins diet. I know most people get very frustrated about the weight they gain afterward; hopefully I can give you a solution to this problem. Read below
Dear E.P.,
I have been following the Dr. Atkins’ program for a month or so. I am really happy with the progress, but in the past week, I haven’t been able to follow it. I noticed that I have gained some of my weight back. Can one week really make that much of a difference? If I continue to follow the program, will I have to follow it for the rest of my life in order to keep the weight off? I want to lose the weight and keep it off. What should I do?
Sincerely,
Concerned
Dear Concerned,
The key to success with any weight loss program is to implement a plan that you can live with for the rest of your life. There are many diets out there and to be honest, I’d have to say that most of the diets are effective at losing weight but they can be unsafe, and unrealistic, and the consequences continue. For instance when you lose weight too quickly, chances are you are losing your opportunity to tone and firm-up more. This means you are losing muscle. When you lose muscle the first thing your body does is actually preserve fat for protection of it’s self. And by the way when you lose the weight, your body looks the same only smaller. Wouldn’t you like to lose weight and have more tone and firmer muscles than you did when you started?
Let me explain how these unusual diets work.
The Chair of Harvard's nutrition department went on record before a 1973 U.S. Senate Select Committee investigating fad diets: "The Atkins Diet is nonsense... Any book that recommends unlimited amounts of meat, butter, and eggs, as this one does, in my opinion is dangerous. The author who makes the suggestion is guilty of malpractice.”
We all know the DR Atkins diet is a low carbohydrate diet that excludes carbohydrates, such as rice, pasta, potatoes etc. but includes an mainly high fat foods such as red meat, bacon, butter etc.
The problem is when you eliminate too many or consume excessive amounts of certain valuable nutrients, whether its protein, fats, or carbohydrates, there are going to be side effects, some potentially dangerous.
For instance, when you are inconsistent or end any of these diets, you are likely to gain all or even more of the weight back, because you are not utilizing the nutrients in balance to what is required for your body.
The most effective way to lose weight is to implement a well structured and realistic, eating plan that you can live with for the rest of your life. And secondly engage in physical activity such as cardio to burn fat and weight training to create an increased metabolic rate, while firming. Most of all, you must realize that your eating plan must match your expectations for weight loss. Click on the link Below “TODAY” and Get the Plan you Can Live With Forever
