By following the Atkins nutritional approach for a life
time, you will achieve four things:
- You will lose weight, its hard not to.
Both men and women who follow the Atkins approach to
weight loss readily take off pounds and inches. Optimizing
body weight is a valuable element of any health-oriented program because,
by and large being significantly overweight is an indicator of potential
health problems, now or in the future. When you have taken the pounds
off, you'll see the benefits and they will be far more than merely cosmetic.
- You will maintain your weight loss.
This is where the Atkins nutritional approach leaves most other diets
in the dust. Almost every experienced dieter has gone
on a diet, worked hard, lost a lot of pounds and gained
them all back in a few months or perhaps a year. This is usually due
to the expected consequence of low-fat/low-calorie
diets---hunger. Although many people can tolerate hunger for a while,
very few can tolerate it for a lifetime. Deprivation is no fun. Once
the biological gap between hungers and fulfillment grows too large,
the rebound can be amazingly rapid as well as heartbreaking and humiliating.
But that's the problem of diets that restrict quantities. The
Atkins program refuses to accept hunger as a way of
life. The plan includes foods that have enough fat and protein so hunger
is not the huge issue it is on other weight loss plans.
But it still allows dieters to maintain a healthy weight
for a lifetime.
- You will achieve good health.
The change is amazing doing Atkins, you meet your nutritional
needs by eating delicious, healthy, filling foods and avoiding the sugar
and carbs that junk food is loaded with. As a result,
you become less tired and more energetic, not merely because of the
weight loss, but because the physical consequences
of a truly dysfunctional blood sugar and insulin metabolism are reversed
doing the Atkins. People start feeling good even before
they reach their goal weight.
- You will lay the permanent groundwork for disease prevention.
You will change your life, which, believe it or not, is even more important
than looking good on the beach next summer!
