It was in the 1970s that Dr Atkins launched the Atkins diet plan. This involves a multi-phased program for losing weight, maintaining the weight loss, disease prevention and good health. Based on solid nutritional and medical fundamentals, the Atkins diet plan, which comprises of high protein, high fat, and low carb meal plan, has been found to be far more effective compared to the conventional high carb, low fat diets.This is because, when high protein foods are eaten, it results in stabilizing blood sugar levels. It also keeps one more satiated, and hence less likely to binge on sweets or high carb foods, which is usually the case on high carb, low fat diets. Plus, it has also been seen that the initial weight loss is much faster comparatively.The Atkins diet plan basically recommends ea

Hence a controlled carbohydrate diet is advised for carbohydrate is mostly responsible for increasing one’s body weight.The low carbohydrate Atkins Diet was first introduced in 1970’s by Dr. Robert Atkins. But it became popular almost 10 years later after the release of his book - ‘Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution’ which went one to become one of the bestsellers of that decade. In no time, millions of people in the United States and abroad began to follow At

By Brodie Heinrichsen In the 1970s, Dr. Robert Atkins first wrote about the Atkins diet in his book The New Diet Revolution. The claim behind the Atkins diet is that you can eat any protein and fat, but little or no carbohydrates, and still lose weight and become thin. Arguably one of the most controversial claims in weight loss – but one that many people believe has worked for them. Over the last 10 years the Atkins diet found itself soaring into popularity, enough that even the food industry began to market low carb foods. As of late the popularity of the Atkins diet has diminished due to the fact that the Atkins diet is not meant for everyone, but does have its place in weight loss.Atkins Diet Plan & SupportThere are always reports from people of mixed success while on Atkins. This could be due to the large number of people who “fall off” the diet. However, studies have shown that many people have achieved short term weight loss results from using Atkins. The Atkins diet recen

In my recent article Gram and Calorie Calculator for Carbohydrate, Protein, and Fat , I mentioned the Atkins diet as one of the several types of fad diets out there. I received several email requests on elaborating this diet and lifestyle. The Atkins diet was extremely popular because people actually lost weght! Can you lose weight with the Atkins diet? Yes. Is it the best way? Not really. You can lose weight by several other means, including hazardous methods such as dehyration (i.e. saunas and steam rooms), amphetamines, and fasting. Are those good ways to lose weight? No, and they are NOT recommended. If you downloaded the Excel spreadsheet calculator, and used it for your needs & lifestyle, you will find it extremely hard to limit your carbs to 20 grams a day. My carbohydrate numbers are in the 400 grams per day range! Like any approach in life, moderation and common sense should rule. Guest Blogger Michael Malega presents several Atkins Diet articles, in which

Atkins diet, Atkins Nutritional Approach or just Atkins is a low-carbohydrate diet and was formulated by Dr. Robert Atkins to solve his very own problems of being overweight. Dr. Atkins conceptualized this diet plan based on a theory that overweight people tend to ingest more carbohydrates. Since the body uses fat and carbohydrates for energy, eating lesser carbohydrates would mean that fats are burned more. As some people claimed to have lost their weight on Atkins, some doctors and nutritionists criticize it. You should decide for yourself by weighing in the pros and cons of the Atkins diet plan before embarking on it. (more…)

My husband and I went on the atkins diet several years ago. This is the first time my husband has done any dieting. I on the other hand have tried every diet know to mankind. Of course he dropped 10 pounds the first week, and could not understand why I am always saying that weight loss is difficult. I did lose 6 pounds the first week so I had to agree that the diet was working. The first two weeks were difficult to get used to eating only low carbohydrate foods. Once we got past that two week mark we found that it was an easy diet for us to follow. On the atkins diet you eat mostly protein. My husband has always been a big meat eater so that part was easy. It was more difficult for him to give up the potatoes and bread that he ate along with his meat. We needed to find alternative foods that were allowed on the atkins diet. I bought the atkins diet book which not only outlines the diet but also has recipes. It is amazing how you can eat a lot of food on the atkins diet and still lose

 I do. Probably the most popular of the high-protein, low carb diet craze that swept the nation just a few years ago. The diet claims that by drastically reducing carbs and eating more protein and fat, our bodies naturally lose weight by burning stored body fat more efficiently.  The diet also claims that the best proteins to eat are red meat, chicken and fish, which no doubt, worked for a lot of people. Many "Atkiners" saw the pounds drop quickly, but developed more long-term health problems, like high cholesterol. Studies by the American Heart Association, the National Cholesterol Education Program, and the American Cancer Society show that high protein diets (consisting of red meat, whole dairy products, and other high fat foods) are linked to high cholesterol.
