How To Lose Weight Quickly

Here is more interesting information from the Atkins Diet Book:

Though it is true that gaining weight results from taking in too many calories - this only happens when you are eating a lot of carbohydrates along with fat. When you follow a controlled carbohydrate approach you get what Atkin’s calls a “metabolic advantage.” When you control your carbohydrate consumption sufficiently, you body will switch from burning glucose derived from carbohydrates to burning primarily fat for energy.

If you were eating 2,000 calories on a low-fat diet, you might not lose weight. The metabolic advantage is that burning fat takes more energy so you expend more calories. And if you eat fewer calories-as many people do becaue their appetitie is usually diminished-you’ll likely lose weight even faster.

I have doing a modified Atkin’s diet for the past week and he is right about hunger. I feel much more satisfied and am no longer constantly snacking. Plus, I have not felt my blood sugar drop the way it used too.

Atkins says when he first published the book, his claim was controversial but now as scientists have begun to understand metabolism better the Atkin’s theory is “galloping into acceptance.”
