Atkins Diet is receiving some acceptance by the American Journal
of Medicine...
Atkins Diet, Medical Community Less Skeptical! |
 New
report out by the American Journal of Medicine...
Is saying Atkins Diet may help
your Heart after all and has been given somewhat of a Scientific,
Thumbs Up! The medical community is less skeptical of the Atkins
Diet that touts Large amounts of protein and fat in the diet;
saying people can lose weight "Twice as fast" based on a 6 month
study on a Low-Carb/High Fat Diet as a dieter on a Low-Fat/
Calorie-restricted diet. However, it is thought that people will
gain weight back faster once off the Atkins diet. What type of
diet you chose is totally up to you, and with any diet not made in
conjunction with a "Life style change" in my opinion will not
possess a constant weight-stay once weight has been lost; or a
lasting health benefit! Making a weight-loss and maintenance
program a "Life Style Change" will reduce weight fluctuations if
you incorporate portion control into the equation, exercise 3-4 x
per week for (approximately 30 minutes per session) and eat less
carbohydrates such as: candy, cookies, cake, and pies which
basically are the "empty calories" in your daily diet. Whether you
are on a Low-Fat/Calorie-Restricted Diet, Atkin's Diet or any
other Diet... It All begins with a positive attitude and desire
for a healthier, trimmer, you!
