| Atkins Diet | | Have you ever been on the atkins diet? I'm having a PET scan tomorrow and have been told to eat a low carb, high protein, high fat diet today. This is basicly the atkins diet as I understand it. I went ahead and ate my yogurt this morning, it has half the carbs as my cereal. Checked the nutrition facts for a banana and figure that is out. Finished out breakfast by scrambling two eggs.
I usually take a sandwich to work for lunch, but figure that won't work today. I'm looking for suggestions for lunch and dinner. Had planned to make tacos this evening. I know I can eat the meat and cheese, but what about lettuce and tomato? Could I make a taco salad without the chips? | |
| | Do you think that Atkins Diet is a healthy way of losing weight? | | A couple of years ago, I started on the atkins diet. It was very effective for me because I was able to lose 10 lbs during the first week, and then again a couple of pounds again after several weeks, up to 50 lbs after 3 months. During the first few months was really good because it felt great. Rice is a staple food in our country and I deprived myself of eating rice because I wanted to lose all the weight. But my question is, was that a healthy way of losing weight or not? I would like to know your opinion about this. | |

| Ever tried Atkins Diet? | | Atkins Diet must be one of the most popular diets. As I am not into diets I wouldn't know but how far I have noticed on the internet or magazines, people offer Atkins Diet the most. I wonder what so special about this particular diet? Anyone has tried this diet? Or maybe knows more about it and can share? | |
| | would like to hear from anyone who has been on atkins diet | | i have tried everything to lose weight but cravings and stress keep bringing me down. i have decided to give an old diet a try again as i hear so many people swear by it and say that they actually lose weight and keep it off as long as they watch their carb intake. i would love to hear your opinions if you have tried this diet. | |

| What is the Atkins diet? | | Atkins Diet is a high protein diet that is based on insulin resistance. It explains that people tend to overeat due to carbohydrate addcitions which, in the long run, lead to insulin resistance. Atkins severely restricts carbohydrates thus putting the body into a starvation mode which burns fat. | |
| | What do you think of The Atkins Diet? | | I have read The atkins diet book. In it Dr. Atkins claims that carbohydrates are the cause of weight gain. He further claims that bread is alien to our diet as our forefathers ate meat, berries and nuts.
But did we not eat the componants which make up bread back then? | |
