Low carb high fiber diet is taken by a lot of people who want to lose weight, even without knowing the other benefits it can bring them. This is because they have the notion that the carbohydrates are the main cause of their weight gain and so they take as little of it as possible. Fiber is known for its benefit of absorbing unwanted substances in the body such as toxins and excessive fat and is also a good cure and prevention for constipation.

Because people believe that carbohydrates are bad, they take as little of it as possible. But the truth is, a percentage of our body is made up of carbohydrates or sugars and we need it in order to survive. It is the primary source of energy for the body especially the brain, so when we have low levels of sugar, we become lethargic and our thinking becomes clouded. Carbohydrates become unhealthy only when we take them excessively and not in proportion with the other nutrients such as proteins and fats, vitamins and minerals.  Read more...

The Atkins Grapefruit diet is a diet plan, not supported by the company of Dr. Atkins, that plays on the popularity of the grapefruit diet and the Atkins diet name. A closer look into this diet reveals that it may not be all it claims to be.

Firstly, it’s very difficult to find information on the Atkins grapefruit diet plan. Clever people realize that when someone is perpetrating a deception, or a con, they will often gloss over facts. This is exactly what the Atkins grapefruit diet appears to do: it tries to persuade people to associate it with two supposedly effective diets.

So, is the Atkins Grapefruit Diet part of the Atkins Diet or supported by the company of the late Dr. Atkins? The answer is a resounding ‘no’, not only is there no mention of the Atkins Grapefruit Diet on the Atkins website, but there is no fruit of at all mentioned in the list of permitted foods in the Atkins diet Induction stage.

The induction phase includes the following foods:

Fish of any kinds. Any fowl such as turkey and chicken. Any shellfish. Any meat such as beef or pork. Eggs cooked in any style, including fried. Cheese. Vegetables. Herbs and Spices. Fats and Oils. Low carbohydrate beverages, including diet soft drinks.  Read more...

Following a diet is never easy, especially when you are just starting, and frankly just because you’re going to do the Atkins Diet, it doesn’t mean that it will get any easier either. Sure, you can eat virtually unlimited quantity of high fat and high protein foods, but you’re still on a diet and you still need to limit your food intake.

For a start off, you will have to limit your carbohydrate intake especially in the initial phase of your diet, and although you are allowed to increase that incrementally later on in the diet, you can still be missing your favourite carbs, like bread or chocolate, and can still be prone to these cravings. And that’s where some of the Atkins products can help.

Having tasted some of these Atkins products myself, I have to mention that I think them to be value for money. They’re by no means cheap but then again, nor are they so expensive that you’ll only be able to afford one item and go hungry for the rest of the time, which might, in its own way ensure that you lose weight!  Read more...
