The Four Principles of the Atkins Nutritional Approach

1. You Will Lose Weight on the Atkins Diet

You will lose weight even though you may eat more than you ever did. Why will lose weight on the Adkins Diet is because it targets our stored body fat. Fat is used as a backup system to generate energy. Carbohydrates are the primary source of energy. So, if we limit the carbohydrates, the body will efficiently switch to a fat burning source of energy.

2.You Will Maintain Your Weight Loss

This is a key point. As stated, the problem with most diets is that you invariably end them and go back to your old eating habits. Most diets cause you to eat foods you don't like. This causes you to be hungry. We all can tolerate hunger for a while but no one can tolerate it for a lifetime. You can be guaranteed, you will not be hungry on the Atkins diet. This low carb diet is commonly referred to as "Atkins For Life".

3. You Will Achieve Good Health

The mental and physical changes will be readily apparent once you achieve your desired weight. You will feel more energized, look so much better and have a healthier body. Today's Atkins diet of simple sugars and refined carbohydrates is evident in all the fast food restaurants throughout America . The United States has the fattest people in the world and it is caused by our consumption of junk food and refined carbohydrates.

4. You Will Lay The Groundwork For Disease Prevention

You will change your eating habits which will change your body chemistry for the better. You will learn to eliminate the high glycolic carbohydrates which have a dramatic effect on blood sugar levels. Your cholesterol levels will improve and your insulin levels will decrease. You won't just look better, you will feel better and your blood work will be the evidence behind the science of "Atkins for Life".
