Atkins diet

The Atkins diet, which is based on consuming high levels of protein and low levels of carbohydrate, has become a popular weight-loss approach among people.

Atkins says that many overweight people may be insulin resistant. The surplus consumption of carbohydrates is allocated a plenty of insulin, it is more than enough and this promotes to keep fat.

If you cut out carbohydrates to 40 grams a day, your body goes into an abnormal state called ketosis. This is where you're burning up fats instead of carbohydrates, therefore you lose weight. Your desire for carbs will subside and you won't miss the foods you are doing without.

The Atkins Diet consists of the following four stages: induction, on going weight loss, pre-maintenance and maintenance. Induction is the first 14 days of the plan, during which Atkins says you can lose up to 15 pounds. But you cannot eat more than 20 grams of carbs. You can eat only low-carb vegetables like lettuce, broccoli and tomatoes. You are limited to three cups per day. Avoid yogurt, fruit and starchy vegetables like potatoes. Avoid alcohol and caffeine too.

During the next stage, on going weight loss, you can increase your carb intake by 20 grams daily in the first week, so it contains 40 grams (in the third week at the beginning of diet) and then 30 grams daily in the next week until you gradually lose weight

During pre-maintenance, weight loss will happen a little more slowly. You must subtract 5 grams of carbohydrate from your daily intake so that you continue sustained weight loss

Once you reach your goal weight, you enter maintenance and may introduce some more carbs back into your diet. Try to consume good carbs that have low glycemic index.
