The Atkins Diet


The Atkins diet is what is best for many American citizens. Most people follow the Atkins diet for weight maintenance, good health, and disease prevention. The progress to a better heart health and memory function, as well as other wellness benefits is also rewarded when doing the Atkins diet. The accessibility of going on the Atkins diet is convenience to many due to the normal food rituals accustomed and affordability is highly suitable. The Atkins diet plan allows food to eaten that are fresh and rich complement of dietary foods. The animals are not exploded in any harmful way because purity of proteins and fat is being taken in. The development of foods in farms can be non-intoxicated with steroids and rather be purely grown as fresh foods.
The Atkins diet is preferred because it is a low-carbohydrate diet, which will burn fat for energy. Atkins diet is better because most likely a better heart health and memory function, as well as other wellness benefits will happen rather to those who do not use this diet. The diet is based on the theory that overweight people eat too many carbohydrates. Our bodies burn both fat and carbohydrates for energy, but carbohydrates are used first (Dr. Atkins). Drastically reducing carbs and eating more protein and fat, our bodies naturally lose weight by burning stored body fat more efficiently. Unlike many other diets, carbohydrates is not targeted; but rather the calories, saturated fat and sodium are more focused on. Instead of limiting the amount of food you eat strictly restrictions are made to what you eat. The likeliness of starvation to loss weight would not transpire due to the claims of reducing your appetite. On the Atkins diet, you're eating almost pure protein and fat. You can consume red meat, fish, shellfish, fowl, and regular cheese (not "diet" cheese, cheese spreads, or whey cheeses). You can cook with butter, have mayo with your tuna, and put olive oil on your salads. On the other hand, carbs are restricted about 20 grams of net carbs per day, meaning total carbs minus fiber (Dr. Atkins).

The accessibility of going on the Atkins diet is convenience to many due to the normal food rituals accustomed and affordability is highly suitable. The diet does allow addition to fruits, vegetables, and whole-grain, which can be affordable. Until recently, you could only get whole-grain products in organic or non-traditional stores. Today they are popping up in more and more mainstream grocery stores.
