Atkins Diet Plan

admin — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 06:07:27 +0000

Dr. Robert Atkins is the creator of the most popular low-carb nutritional approach better known as the Atkins diet. It came to the public’s attention back in the early 70s and it has been regarded ever since as one of the best weight loss options. Dr. Atkins’ scientific studies and metabolic theories laid the basis for the New Diet Revolution. To describe it in very brief lines, the Atkins diet is a restrictive weight loss approach that aims at reducing the blood sugar level by eliminating carbohydrates from the daily diet. It is of paramount importance to use whole unprocessed foods to support the program.

Contrary to other weight loss diets that recommend low glycemic carbohydrates like vegetables and black rice, the Atkins diet is strict with these too. The Atkins diet is supported by Atkins Nutritionals, a company that markets the foods allowed in the program. There are four phases corresponding to this approach: induction, ongoing Weight Loss, pre-maintenance and lifetime maintenance.

INDUCTION lasts or two weeks and it is the most restrictive phase of the entire Atkins diet. During this period your daily carbohydrate intake will not be higher than 20 net grams. Tomatoes, asparagus, spinach, pumpkin and 54 other vegetables can be used successfully during this phase. Legumes like green beans are not allowed.

You can also eat fish, fowl, eggs, cheddar cheese, olive oil and butter. You should drink at least 8 glasses of water per day during the induction phase.

During the ONGOING WEIGHT LOSS phase of the Atkins diet, the carb intake will increase with 5 net grams per week. Dr. Atkins has created a carbohydrate ladder for this phase and you should carefully check it to adapt your meals to it.

PRE-MAINTENANCE adds 10 net grams per week, and up to this level, there are no risks of putting on weight.

LIFETIME MAINTENANCE carries on with the eating habits that you’ve developed during the first phases of the Atkins diet. If you focus on unprocessed foods, health and fitness benefits remain permanent.

There is both praise and criticism of the Atkins diet, and the risks and benefits are not as clear as we’d like them to be. It is not sure whether the health benefits are as high as emphasized by some program promoters. Studies are not conclusive here, meaning that experts have not reached a conclusion, due to the contradicting data available. Carefully analyze the pros and cons as well as the specifics of the Atkins diet before taking it up.

Atkins Diet: Should kids do low carb?

admin — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 08:40:21 +0000

In this long Quick Hits video, I discuss whether kids or teenagers (as my daughter oft reminds me) should follow the Atkins Diet as prescribed or a more moderate low carb or carb conscious plan.

I respond by saying that for most teenagers a lower carb approach is probably best, especially not if the choice is not driven by the child themselves. I believe as parents we are called to teach our kids a healthy way of eating, and while acknowledging kids’ environment and choices, we should make and help them choose to eat wisely, which by almost any standard should not include “whites” – refined starches and sugars. There should be no requirement for breading or donuts to be healthy or happy. The challenge with kids and teenagers is therefore school lunch programs and their unhealthy nature.

This is by no means a discouragement for teenagers, who may want to try Atkins Diet due to an internal desire to lose weight. I just want them to be aware of what their decision means.

Atkins Diet: Low Carb Breakfast – not necessarily like Mom made

admin — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 08:58:09 +0000

I deal with the question by a viewer who like I was sick of eggs and bacon, and was looking for alternative breakfast items.

My criteria for a good low carb breakfast is:
* has to be quick to make
* has to be easy to make
* has to provide enough nutrition for morning activities and mid day exercise

I also suggest the valuable step of prepping for breakfast the night or the week before by chopping the vegetables or cooking the meat beforehand to expand your options. With that in mind, there are countless options for the 5-minute or less breakfast meals.

I highlight my favorite 5:
* Taco or Fajita Salad
* Low Carb Stir Fry
* Sausage Broccoli Quiche
* Upside Down Low Carb Pizza
* Pancakes and Syrup

admin — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 08:46:06 +0000

January 17, 2008 presentation by Christopher Gardner for the Stanford School of Medicine Medcast lecture series.

The case for low-carbohydrate diets is gaining weight. Christopher Gardner, PhD, istant professor of medicine at the Stanford Prevention Research Center, has completed the largest and longest-ever comparison of four popular diets using real-world conditions, which he discusses – the lowest-carbohydrate Atkins diet came out on top.

Atkins Diet: Low Carb Fried Chicken

admin — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 05:40:19 +0000

In this cooking video, I detail how to make one of my staples of the diet — low carb fried chicken. You don’t have to give up the joy of fried chicken, and contrary to Low Fat Diets, you can eat the skin too! I have fried chicken at least once a week almost. Chicken has a great amount of protein as well as delicious fat in the skin. I display 2 of the 3 methods that are among the acceptable coatings for chicken or chicken-fried foods (like Country Fried Steaks):

* Parmesan Cheese – Induction friendly
* Carbquik breading
* Crushed Pork Rinds. ** not shown Just run the pork rinds through a food processor to crush the rinds into smaller pieces. You would be surprised by how tasty this is, and how little pork rinds flavor there is remaining. I had intended to show this method as well, but Wal-mart wasn’t selling them anymore.

Here is the recipe for the breading:
* 1 cup of Carbquik flour
* 2 TBS Paprika
* 1 TBS Black Pepper
* Dashes of Cayenne Pepper, Chili Pepper, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder, Poultry Seasoning

Thanks for watching my videos and subscribing for those that have. You guys are the best to keep me motivated.

Atkins Diet Recipes: Low Carb Pancakes

admin — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 04:28:15 +0000

Here is my breakfast Low Carb cooking video where I make my favorite low carb pancake recipe. This isn’t Induction friendly due to the Baking mix, but you could substitute some almond flour to make it Induction legal. Here’s the recipe:
* 8oz pkg cream cheese
* 3 eggs
* 3 tsp Splenda or equivalent liquid Splenda
* 1/4 cup Atkins Bake Mix *recipe below
* 1/2 tsp baking powder
* 1/2 tsp vanilla
* 1/4 cup Heavy Cream or buttermilk

Beat cream cheese with mixer until blended smooth. Add the remaining ingredients, and let sit for 5 minutes. Preheat non-stick pan to med/high heat. Spray pan with non stick spray and use 1/4 cup measure per pancake. Yield 10 pancakes.
