Now there is a diet that will help you in losing weight with a promise of never being hungry. Sounds impossible right? No,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it is not because of a new diet revolution called the Atkins diet. The Atkins diet is a low-carbohydrate diet that was formulated by Dr. Robert Atkins. It is also known as Atkins and Atkins Nutritional Approach. Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution along with other series of books was authored by Dr. Atkins to discuss his concepts and ideas on the diet. Some of the health benefits are better memory and heart functions to name a few. Dr. Robert Atkins formulated the Atkins diet to solve his own overweight problem. Based on a theory, overweight people ingest more carbohydrates. Since carbohydrates and fat are utilized for energy and carbohydrates are burned first,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], eating lesser carbohydrates means that body fat is burned in its stead. The Atkins diet, even though has many success stories for losing weight is primarily for preventing disease,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], good health and maintaining weight. Further, it has four phases. The first phase is the induction phase wherein you are restricted to having only 20 grams of carbohydrates in a day. Alcoholic and caffeinated drinks and beverages are prohibited in this phase and mostly 4 ounces of meat, cheeses, 3 tablespoons of cream, 2 cups salad vegetables and 1 cup low carbohydrate vegetables is allowed. It has been reported that weight loss often occur at this stage. The second phase of the Atkins diet is the ongoing weight loss (OWL) phase wherein 5 grams of carbohydrates is added every week to find the critical amount of carbohydrate intake that is essential for losing weight. If 4. 5 kilograms or 10 pounds is reached within the target weight then the OWL phase stops. Pre-maintenance is the phase succeeding the OWL phase where there is an increase in carbohydrate intake so that the amount of carbohydrate intake for maintaining weight is found. The last phase of the Atkins diet is the lifetime phase. Under this phase, it is assumed that the habits achieved throughout the other phases are maintained so that you will not go back to pre-Atkins habits and weight. This phase values unprocessed food and it is a choice to go back to earlier stages if weight gain is experienced. There are some people who are for or against the Atkins diet. It is important to see their views before embarking on the diet regimen right away. Anti-Atkins: * Atkins is connected with renal disease, heart disease, colon cancer and osteoporosis. * Since it is a protein diet (mostly meat products) it is not vegetarian-friendly. * It is a diet low in fiber but high in cholesterol and saturated fats. * Calcium, potassium and magnesium are below the recommended daily values for the body. Pro-Atkins: * Fat and protein can be taken in. * There is weight loss (steady and rapid). * Appetite is reduced. * Sugars and processed grains taken in are lessened. * Atkins diet is a life-time diet plan. * You can never be hungry with this diet plan. The popularity of the Atkins diet was during the years 2003 and 2004. Statistics also showed that for every 11 adults, 1 was on the Atkins diet in the peak of its popularity. But with Atkins gaining popularity,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], sales of carbohydrates-heavy products declined tremendously. Soft drink companies even tried their hand in low-carbohydrate products to keep up with the trend. But when Dr. Robert Atkins had a fatal injury in the head which also lead to his death in 2003, rumors circulated that he suffered from a heart condition that was caused by his weight. In the year 2005, the company Atkins Nutritional filed for bankruptcy because of poor sales.Topics related articles：
