You have just been to a social event and your eyes are giving way to mischief. Being overweight doesnt make a good first impression, while lesss intelligent and skinny people are more fortunate in this situation. Each morning you wake up, drag yourself from your bed and nothing seems to go your way, and you know that you need to do something to change it.
Most of the time, when a person has gained too much weight it is usually due to improper nutrition. Our metabolism automatically follows a pattern, and if we throw it out of whack it will fail and breakdown into fat.
In order to redress the situation, Dr. Robert Atkins came with a miraculous low carbohydrate diet in the 1970's, which he elaborated in his book, Dr.Atkins' New Diet Revolution. Although people didn't take to it then, with its re-introduction into public consciousness during the 1990's, it has become a matter of many coffee table discussions. The Atkins diet has proved to be beneficial in many cases while nutritionists and health experts have exorcised it of all its fame and glory. Let us take a brief look at this diet.
The Atkins diet is broken up into several different stages based on the portion of carbohydrates included into your food chart. In the archetypal introductory phase, it allows for consumption of 20 gm of carbohydrates per day. In these first two weeks, one subsists on bacon, poultry products, meat, cheese, butter, sausage, seafood and oils and he is barred from consuming food with a high glycemic index like cereals, fruits, milk, grains or breads.
Dieters are recommended to increase their carb intake by 5 grams a day until the total of 40-90 gm per day is reached. At this point he needs to restrict further carbohydrate consumption since it would just promote the development of more adipose tissue.
Some of the disadvantages of the low carb diet are as follows. When a person reduces his carb intake and stresses the body metabolism to breakdown fat to release energy, at first, things take place in a healthy manner. But when lipolysis occurs due to starvation or if protein breakdown starts taking place in the absence of body fat, one risks the peril of ketone body formation or ketosis.
Leading to permanent brain tissue damage, death or coma, a lack of oxygen carrying capacity from your blood cells is created in the ketone bodies formed during ketosis. So one should stay on the lookout for signs of ketosis. The ketone body mixed with enzymes and bacteria ferment and it causes bad breath indicating ketosis. The breakdown of fat causes your energy levels to fall thereby causing listlessness and lethargy. 1 gm of carbohydrate release 7 Kcal of energy while 1 gm of fat releases only 4.9 Kcal of biochemical energy.
On the whole, the Atkins diet will prove beneficial if one does it in moderation and combines a regular fitness program with it. Regular exercise reduces stress levels and improves your mood apart from making you lose weight and look better. The better you feel physically, the more calm, relaxed and confident will you be mentally. - 15437
