Low Carb Diet Plans

I used to think the Atkin’s Diet was crazy and scary but a friend lent me the book and after I started to read it - it began to make sense to me. I have been trying to lose that last 20 pounds for the last 10 years and have been unsuccessful. I thought I was eating the right stuff - yogurt, Kashi bars, fruit and high fiber cereal. I was always hungry and never satisfied plus my blood sugar would drop radically and I would feel awful. Also after my father-in-law was diagnosed with diabetes, he had to change his diet. He had to eat less carbs and more protein. He lost a ton of weight after he started eating that way. I think this is why I finally decided to take a look at Atkins ways of eating. Here is Atkins had to say that began to convince me:

Most obesity exists when the body’ metabolism - the process by which it turns food into fuel-isn’t working right. The more overweight a person is the more certain is the presence of metabolic disturbance.

The basis of the metablolic disturbance in obesity doesn’t have to do with the fat you eat. It has to do with eating too many carbohydrates, which leads to metabolic problems such as insulin resistance and hyperinsulinism.

When you control your refined carbohydrates, you avoid the foods that cause you to be fat.

The metabolic correction is so striking that some of you will be able to lose weight eating a higher number of calories than you’ve been eating on diets top-heavy in carbs.

Diets high in carbohydrates are precisely what most overweight people don’t need and can’t become permanently slim on. Low-fat diets are, by their very nature, almost always high-carbohydrate diets and bring on the very problems that they were intended to protect us from.

Our epidemic (and believe Dr. Atkins is not exagerating in the slightest when he says this) of diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure are very largely the results of our overconsumption of refined carbs and its conncetion to hyperinsulinism.
