 The Atkins
diet was not designed to be a fast weight loss plan. The Atkins
diet was designed to enable sustained weight loss while permanently
changing your lifestyle for better overall health. This weight loss
plan works by cutting processed and refined carbohydrates and processed
foods that the human body was not designed to metabolize without
consequences. Along with changing your regular eating habits, Atkins
promotes taking vitamin supplements and regular exercise to complement
the nutrition program in order to achieve weight loss. |

InformationThis website is essentially a copy of the Atkins Diet. The Atkins diet plan is divided into four stages: Induction, Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL), Pre-Maintenance, and Lifetime Maintenance. Each phase is meant to prepare you for weight loss and to change your lifestyle permanently. During these four phases, you will learn which foods you can eat without affecting your weight loss, so that eventually you won't have to rely on a carb-counter-you'll just know, through practice, what is or isn't off limits. The diet is a highly individualized weight loss strategy, as the foods you can eat are determined by your own metabolic rates.It is important to understand that while the Adkins diet will change your lifestyle, it will not permanently change your metabolic tendencies. If you begin to eat refined carbohydrates or processed food, you will stop experiencing weight loss and return to the way you were before. Your body will react the same way to these foods as before, secreting insulin in response to your increased blood-sugar level due to the food. Eventually you will regain whatever weight loss you initially experienced. The Atkins diet means to permanently change your eating habits to help you avoid regaining your weight loss. |
