insulin levels.When compared with low-fat diets, low-carb dieters lose less muscle mass.Although not scientifically proven, there are many common benefits reported byAtkins dieters and other low-carb dieters. These include an increase in energy, areduced craving for sweets, better concentration, improved mood and a lesseningof depression type symptoms.However, there are also some benefits that are specific to the Atkins diet. If youhave been a low fat dieter in previous years, you’ll enjoy eating all of those“forbidden foods” that you once had to go without. Steak, butter and cream are aregular part of Atkins dieters’ meals. There is a certain pleasure that goes alongwith eating foods that were once off limits. Atkins dieters are encouraged to eattheir full of rich meats, cheeses and fats and oils.Atkins is also simple to use, compared with some other low-carb diets on themarket. There are some basic food carbohydrate counts that you’ll need to learn,but after that, you are free to eat from the acceptable food lists.Dr. Atkins also emphasized finding your own personal carbohydrate level. Differentpeople have different levels of carbohydrate tolerance. While some gain weight onjust 90 carbohydrate grams a day, others can live comfortably at 120 carbohydrategrams. During the ongoing weight loss phase and pre-maintenance phase of thediet, you will learn your personal carbohydrate count that will help determine yourcarbohydrate goal for life.The popularity of Atkins is a double-edged sword for dieters. There is a lot ofinformation available on the diet, which makes it easy to find resources andsupport. There have been many, many Atkins books written and there are endlessamounts of websites that offer tips and group support. However, everyone has6

heard of Atkins and probably has an opinion on it. There are some bigmisconceptions out there about the nature of the diet, and you’ll no doubt have todefend your new way of eating from time to time.There are some other minimal downsides to using the Atkins program. You do needto count carbohydrates in everything you eat to make sure that you are stayingwithin your personal carbohydrate range. There is also the issue of Induction, themost hotly debate aspect of the plan. Induction can be difficult to get through ifyou’ve had a diet that centers on carbs and sugar. Also, many people try Inductionand mistakenly believe that this is the way that the whole diet is going to be. Theyend up quitting before they get into the actual Atkins plan.Sometimes, although it is not common, people will experience a carb crash on the3rd to 5th day of the diet. This reaction is a result of their body finally experiencingketosis, or running on fat instead of carbohydrates. The effects are transient, butmany people have sworn off low-carb diets entirely because of this happenstance.Overall, with the minor drawbacks considered, Atkins is one of the most popularlow-carb diets for a reason. It works. Thousands of people have had success withthe Atkins approach to the low-carb way of living. Featured Product: Burn The Fat Feed The Muscle7

Atkins and Appetite SuppressionOne of the most common, and surprising, effects of following the Atkins diet isappetite suppression. Many followers of the plan report that the between mealhunger pangs they used to experience fade away very quickly. This makes it easierto stay on the diet and continue to lose weight. While other diets have theirfollowers starving between meals, the Atkins diet offers relief from constant hunger.The Atkins diet, with its specific combination of foods and ingredients, has powerfulappetite suppressing effects.The first key component is the amount of protein in the Atkins diet. Protein, moreso than carbohydrates, has the power to satiate hunger. If you’ve ever eaten a carbheavy meal and then felt hungry afterward, you know that carbohydrates don’thave much staying power. Protein, when combined with a small amount of healthyfats, can keep you feeling full for long periods of time.One of the most powerful appetite suppressing foods on the Atkins diet are eggs.Eggs are a great form of quick and easy protein. A recent study showed that eatingeggs for breakfast would actually stave off hunger pangs through the rest of theday. The research concerned two groups of women. One group ate eggs forbreakfast and the other had a breakfast of bagels and cream cheese. The caloriecount for both breakfasts was exactly the same. The subjects kept track of whatthey ate the rest of the day and answered questions about their levels of hungerand satisfaction throughout the day. The results showed that the women who atethe eggs for breakfast felt more satisfied throughout the entire day. They ate lessat each meal than the women who were in the bagel group.Eggs contain about 6 grams of protein each. This helps to even out blood sugar andproduces a feeling of satisfaction. Both of these factors help to curb cravings. Eggyolks also contain lutein and xenazanthin. These nutrients have been shown tohave incredible effects on eye health. So it’s important to eat the whole egg, andnot just the white. Eggs contain chorine that is important in brain functioning andmemory. These nutrients are just an added benefit to the appetite suppressingqualities.8

Broccoli and cauliflower, two of the acceptable vegetables on the Atkins program,also have appetite-suppressing effects. These vegetables are very bulky and theyhelp make your stomach feel full. When your stomach feels full, it will actuallycreate a chemical response in your body. Your body will reduce its appetite becauseit believes that your stomach is full of high calorie foods. This will happenregardless of what is in your stomach. You can achieve the same results with waterand psyllium husk fiber. Both broccoli and cauliflower provide bulk in your diet andare essential vegetables on the Atkins plan.The Atkins diet focuses on eating small protein balanced meals a few times per day.This will help keep your blood sugar stabilized and avoid carbohydrate cravings.With high carbohydrate diets, you are riding the wave of carbohydrate highs. Afteryou eat, you feel great and full. Then a few hours later, you come crashing downand are hungrier than you were previous to eating the carbohydrate. This cyclecontinues and, over time, you will eat more and gain weight. The protein, fat andvegetable meals of the Atkins plan put your blood sugar back in balance. Theyprovide just enough of each type of food, with a proper amount of carbohydrates(from the vegetables). The vegetables provide quick carbohydrate energy, and theprotein gives the meal staying power. This combination helps suppress yourappetite.The Atkins diet is actually a craving control diet that can help suppress yourappetite. If you’ve had a problem with carbohydrate cravings before, this new wayof eating will help control those cravings. The more you eat on the plan, the betteryour cravings will be controlled and the easier it will be to follow the diet. Featured Product: Fat Burning Furnace9

Atkins and DiabetesThe Atkins diet principles lay the foundation for a healthy, more balanced way ofeating than the standard American diet. Its emphasis is on using goodcarbohydrates in balance with adequate protein. This is in stark contrast to whatmost Americans eat on a daily basis. The average American eats lots of processedfoods that have hidden sugars and highly processed carbohydrates. This has putmost Americans on the road to diabetes and pre-diabetic conditions. What is sad isthat diabetes has a predictable set of stages and that they can be easily recognized.The road to diabetes has to do with something called the glycemic index. Allcarbohydrates are rated on this index with regards to the level of insulin reactionthey produce. Foods that have a high glycemic index rating will cause yourpancreas to release a lot of insulin to break down the amount of sugars andcarbohydrates (which produce high amounts of glucose). The refined carbohydratesand sug
