Did you want the doctor to prescribe a tasty and satisfying diet? Revolutionary diet Atkins, just that case.
Dr. Atkins is an American cardiac surgeon who, in the 1970s, invented a diet that contradicts all dietary norms, even then, today. The indicators of consumption of proteins, fats and carbohydrates were fundamentally different from the norms of the World Health Organization, as well as all the recommendations of similar American organizations. Dr. Atkins suggested reducing carbohydrate intake to 15% of the daily diet, and "raising" proteins and fats - up to 25% and 55-66%, respectively. And if this diet was short-term - this is one thing, but the revolutionary diet is designed for life.
Why "new"?
Back in the seventies, books describing the innovative diet were sold out in million copies. And in '92, Dr. Atkins published his "offspring" in a new, improved form and named it accordingly - the new revolutionary Atkins diet.
Why are there many fats and why are there so few carbohydrates?
Dr. Atkins believes all low-calorie diets are senseless and even harmful. Weight loss occurs only in the first days, and then the body adapts and under the threat of hunger begins to accumulate fatty deposits. As a result, it turns out that eating less, a person begins to gain weight even more actively than before.
On the contrary, the Atkins diet works - it, first of all, is aimed at excluding insulin resistance, by reducing the production of insulin. Although many scientists believe that insulin resistance, or resistance to insulin, is not the cause of obesity, but rather, it results, as a consequence. As for a threefold increase in fat intake, if you ate more calories than you spent, fat will still accumulate, from whatever.
