The problem with the atkins diet (as with
many other very low carbohydrate diets) is
that it tends to induce ketosis where fat
and protein is converted by the body into
the blood glucose the brain so desperately
needs.
This coversion of protein into blood
glucose is the reason many people on very
low carbohydrate diets look so haggard.
Their bodies are breaking down muscle
mass.
After extended periods of this ketosis
your fat cells can become more efficient
storing fat up to 10 times more
efficiently. So unfortunately, going off
atkins is likely to result in fat gain.
The solution is a diet with moderate
carbohydrate intake.
Probably the zone diet is the most
versatile diet and of all the major diets
and has the highest rate of compliance
despite no support system.
You can look at the zone diet free at
www.Drsears.Com
also, you can educate yourself about
weight loss with the free book one hour to
glorious health and permanent weight loss
(free download
www.Geocities.Com/glorious
health ). This book is filled with
practical weight loss tips from diet, to
exercise, to sleep.
I also suggest you read from depression to
glorious health (also free also
www.Geocities.Com/glorious
health ).
A little extra body fat is not the real
issue. The real issue is the other
health issues related to the excess
insulin production which is usually the
cause of excess body fat. Since every
major western disease is linked it seems
wise to educate yourself and deal with
this major health issue.
I hope I haven't come across as being a
little heavy.
I also hope something i've written here
might be helpful to you.
