Atkins testimonials

Atkins diet success stories - The Atkins quick weight loss diet is considered the most popular of the low-carb diets. It is based on the restriction of processed and refined carbohydrates,

limiting the consumption of sugary foods, breads, pasta, and starchy vegetables. The first was conducted by the Philadelphia Veterans Affairs Medical Center,

where 132 severely obese patients were randomly put on either a low-carbohydrate diet, or a low-fat diet, for six months.

Atkins diet success stories - The Atkins dieters limited their carbohydrate intake to 30g a day and received counselling on healthy types of fat, such as omega-3 fatty
acids.

The low-fat dieters were put on a calorie-controlled diet, with no more than 30 per cent of total calorific intake from fat.

Atkins diet success stories - Only 79 people managed to complete the six-month trial. Low-carbohydrate dieters lost an average of 13 pounds, compared to four pounds for low-fat dieters.

No significant changes in cholesterol or blood pressure levels were noted in either group, but the low-carbohydrate consumers did reduce their levels of triglycerides (blood fats) by an average of 20 per cent, compared to only 4 per cent in the other group.

Atkins diet success stories

The Low-Carb Lifestyle

In some ways, I think the Atkins diet plan is the wrong name. Long term success with Atkins comes when you approach it as a lifestyle, not as a temporary diet.

Carbohydrates are the body’s preferred fuel source. In the near future there will be a recommended dietary allowance, or R.D.A., for carbohydrates of 130 grams daily. 130 grams of carbohydrates our body needs daily is for the proper functioning of the central nervous system and production of red blood cells.

Only during Phase Four of the Atkins Diet are participants allowed up to 120 grams of net carbohydrate daily. Low carbohydrate diets are nothing new, they have been around since the 1860’s and the Atkins Diet first came out in the early 1970’s.

Most nutrition experts agree that to be successful in weight loss a person needs to keep the weight off for 5 years.

Over 90% of people who take weight off through a fad diet like the Atkins Diet gain the weight back in less than one year. Participants on the Atkins Diet lose between 10 to 12 pounds in the first several weeks but this is only water loss, not fat. One pound of fat contains 3500 calories.

Therefore to lose 10 pounds of fat in several weeks you would need to consume 35,000 fewer calories or burn 35,000 calories more through exercise. Neither is likely to happen.

Thinking about Atkins as a diet simply puts you on the same old diet roller coaster that you have probably been on before. I know I was on it for a long time before I changed to a low carb lifestyle and experienced my own Atkins diet results.
