Atkins Diet news 2008

2008-02-17 Deccan Herald - Diets to die for

If Sarah Jessica Parker matches your image of a style diva, Atkins diet is the one for you. It and rsquo;s basically about cutting down on carbs and watching what you eat. This diet is so popular in the US that many restaurants even have an Atkins page on the menu. Why this diet is so popular is because the followers are allowed to eat reasonable quantities of meat, cheese, eggs, vegetables, nuts and fish. But the foods that are restricted include potatoes, fruit, rice, pasta, bread, caffeine and alcohol. This diet is more often followed in five phases with the first phase witnessing the maximum weight loss. This diet is definitely not without its flipside - deviation from the diet, i. e. eating carbs again, can put the weight back on very quickly. And its also reported to cause constipation and bad breath.

2008-01-13 American Chronicle: The Atkins Diet

Dr. Atkins theorized that a diet rich in protein and almost absent of carbohydrates makes people feel fueler and want to eat less. A recent report by the BBC world news confirms that protein sends signals to the body that tells the stomach that it is full. Many people who first start on the Atkins diet are amazed that although the diet lets you eat as much protein as you want, the urge to eat large amounts of protein rich foods like nuts, meats, fish and eggs is not there. Thus, we can conclude that the Atkins diet works because it suppresses the appetite causing you to eat less.

2008-07-15 Are Fat Calories More Fattening Than Carbs - TIME

If youre one of millions of Americans trying to lose weight, you probably wish you had a more effective diet than the one youre on now. And if youre wondering whether Dean Ornishs low-fat diet will help you shed pounds better than Dr. Atkins low-carb menu, the answer is simple: it doesnt matter. Scientists know that on a molecular level, different types of starch and different types of fat have varying effects when they hit the body. But in terms of weight loss, low-fat diets and low-carb diets overall are equally effective (and, most of the time, neither will help you keep the weight off long-term), says

2008-03-30 Jodi Lipper and Cerina Vincent: 5 Ways To Mess Up With Bread - Living on The Huffington Post

And it never ceases to amaze me that people with absolutely no in-depth knowledge of a given subject matter (read, in this case: the Atkins diet plan) have the temerity to make brash and aggressive statements denouncing a subject matter they have clearly not researched, nor even looked into. Great fun to make broad judgmental statements about something you know nothing about. Had you taken the time to read an Atkins book or two, you could at least have availed yourself of some second-hand knowledge from a man who did a shitload of research on a subject you (all) obviously have never even cracked a book on. Please do yourselves and your readership a favor and try actually looking into and researching what makes something tick before you start flinging the wholesale bashing fest around. This will accomplish two very important things:

My concern is for the long term. If you can lose 20 pounds doing the Atkins diet, fine. But what diet are you going to do the rest of your life For example, the Atkins diet eliminates many fruits or vegetables for life. South Beach says there are some good veggies and some bad, but theres no evidence that is true. All fruits and veggies are good for you. Thats what concerns me in the long term. In the long term, what you need is a well-balanced diet, fruits and vegetables, calorie control and exercise. "

2008-05-30 Low Carb Examiner - Too Sweet for Words: Diabetes and the Low-Carb Debate

Influence of a Modified Atkins Diet on Weight Loss and Glucose Metabolism in Obese Type 2 Diabetic," researchers Goldstein, Kark and Berry found that when 52 patients in a control group were placed on two diets (one Atkins, and one on a low-calorie, ADA recommended diet), 17 out of 26 participants who followed Atkins were able to reduce medications as a result of a low-carbohydrate regimen, as opposed to the ADA control group, where 11 out of 26 were able to reduce their medication. While the findings were not astronomically different for the short duration of the study, the findings seem to show that further study into long-term positive effects of carbohydrate restriction might yield even better results for those with insulin-resistance.

2008-02-14 The REAL Jo Heeley Low-Carb Weight Loss Success Story

At the end of my cousin came to stay with us for the weekend, he was raving on and on about the Atkins diet and had lost 28 pounds. I thought it sounded like total rubbish and had heard through the media that it was dangerous. But my cousin kept on and on and I have to say I couldnt believe what he was eating and still claimed he was losing weight. Anyway, before he left he brought me a copy of "Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution" and told me to try it--just for two weeks. I didnt read the book but just glanced at the "allowed" foods on the Induction page.

2008-04-15 The diet that can treat epilepsy Health and wellbeing Life and Health

Matthew was one of the few to be placed on a medical trial at GOSH studying the effects of the Ketogenic diet in the treatment of childhood epilepsy. It is similar to the Atkins diet, in that it is high fat, with some protein and very low carb. This puts the body into a fat-burning state called ketosis, during which it produces chemical compounds called ketones, which stop the seizures. The diet had been used to treat epilepsy for many years but, with the arrival of epileptic drugs, it was sidelined. Now, thanks to this randomised control trial by paediatric neurologist Professor Helen Cross, it is undergoing a resurgence.

2008-03-29 Heres Your Chance, Dean Ornish: Admit A High-Fat, Low-Carb Diet Is Healthy

Im sorry if you feel my using you as an analogy of the magnitude of this change in perspective by Dr. Weil in favor of a more carbohydrate-restricted for weight and health management was inaccurate. But based on both what I read in your book THE SPECTRUM and heard directly from you during our 100-minute interview a few weeks back, I did not sense any agreement on your end that a moderate-to-high fat, controlled-carbohydrate ketogenic dietary approach as espoused by the late Dr. Robert C. Atkins and then brought back to the discussion by Gary Taubes is one you would even remotely consider recommending for anyone as part of your "spectrum" of choices since most of the foods that fall within this way of eating are in Group 5--what you consider the "least healthy" choices. Please tell me where I got it wrong, Dr.

One of my earliest memories as a little kid was not being able to have my mom tuck me in some nights because she was at jenny craig - my mom was always on a diet, doing one thing and then another, every diet under the sun. my dads been the same way too although he played soccer professionally in his 20s and was in relatively great shape when i was a child. my whole family has weight issues now, and theyre all either really overweight or obese. i honestly dont know if my mothers dieting when i was little factored into my eating disorder at all. she blames herself for it sometimes, and then she just gets really angry at me for "getting too carried away with a diet" but the disorders got a lot more to do with my eating than just that. the fact of the matter is, for me, my obsessions and rituals and disorder in general werent
