Atkins Diet 1.0

Atkins Diet application is a simple ebook that was designed to give you a full featured information about Atkins Diet program Atkins Diet program is a low-carb, high protein eating plan in which refined carbohydrates are not permitted. There are three basic phases: Induction, Ongoing Weight Loss and Maintenance. The level of permitted carbs increases as you progress through these diet-stages, but carbohydrate remains something of a problem-food, and readers are warned that fruit-eating will always be “somewhat risky.”
This permits a steady but still restricted carb-intake.There are no calorie restrictions, so deciding on exactly what amounts of various foods to include in the menus is something of an arbitrary decision.
Carbs to eat regularly, include: apples, berries, cherries, grapefruit, oranges, peaches, pears, plums, aubergines, green vegetables, onions, peppers, tomatoes, barley, oatmeal, wheatbran, butter beans, garbanzo beans (chickpeas) , kidney beans, lentils, most nuts and seeds, milk, tofu and unsweetened soy products.
Carbs to eat in moderation, include: apricots, grapes, kiwifruit, mango, melon,
nectarine, papaya, pineapple, carrots, peas, squash, black-eyed beans, soy
beans, peanuts, unsweetened muesli, buckwheat, multi-grain bread, rye bread.
Carbs to eat sparingly, include: bananas, fruit juice, prunes, raisins, sweetcorn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, white bread, white rice, pasta, pizza, cornflakes, ice cream (sweetened).
All four phases of Atkins Diet are extremely high in saturated fat and
dietary cholesterol. This remains controversial. Most dieticians and nutritionists
as well as heart experts are concerned that liberal or over-consumption of saturated fats offers an increased risk of raised cholesterol leading to heart disease.
The 14-day Induction phase contains “no fruit, bread, grains, starchy vegetables, or dairy products other than cheese, cream, or butter.” This means no milk or yogurt, no whole-wheat breads or cereals, which means no easy sources of calcium or vitamin D or whole-wheat phytochemicals (plant-nutrients) that protect against illnesses such as heart disease and diabetes. Furthermore, the Atkins plan doesnt permit a high intake of fruits and vegetables, recommended by most nutrition experts because of the numerous documented health benefits from these foods. Instead, Dr. Atkins recommends supplements, but whether bottled-nutrition is as beneficial as food-nutrition is open to doubt.
