How The Atkins Diet Works
The Atkins Diet so named for the late Dr. Atkins who created it has been around for years and is one of the most popular diets in history. Many people are both puzzled and confused by how it works. Let’s take a quick look at some of the things that the Atkins diet can do for you.
By following the Dr. Atkins’ nutritional approach to dieting as a lifestyle change you will accomplish four main things:
1. You will definitely lose weight; it is difficult for anyone who follows the Atkins diet as prescribed not to lose weight. Men and women alike who embrace the Atkins lifestyle will quickly begin to lose pounds and inches. Reaching and maintaining your optimum bodyweight is a very valuable component in any health related program because just being overweight is an indicator of potential health issues presently or in the future. Once you have lost the extra weight you will see immediate benefits and they will be much more than cosmetic.
2. Unlike many other diet programs available on the market you will maintain your weight loss. This is the area in which the Atkins Diet far surpasses most other diet programs. If you have dieted before you know how so many times you work really hard to get the weight off and then end up gaining it all back within a few months. This is normally due to the normal consequence of a low fat and low calorie diet which is hunger. The ability to tolerate hunger for short periods of time varies among people. Although many can tolerate hunger for a short time nobody can deal with it for the rest of their life. Depriving your body of food is no fun and it isn’t healthy. Once you have passed the biological gap between hunger and being satisfied the rebound and binge eating can come incredibly fast and be humiliating. This is the inherent problem with diets that restrict quantities. The difference with the Atkins Diet is that hunger is not acceptable. The plan includes foods that have enough fat and protein to prevent hunger from being an issue like it is with other diets but still allows dieters to maintain a healthy weight for the rest of their life.
3. You will achieve good health by following the Atkins Diet. The change you will undergo is nothing short of amazing. By following the Atkins Diet your nutritional needs are met with delicious, healthy, filling foods and avoiding the carbs and sugar that many foods are loaded with. This results in more energy and endurance for you not just because of the weight loss but also due to the reversal of the bad physical consequences of a dysfunctional blood sugar and insulin metabolism. When following the Atkins program you will start feeling good even before you reach your weight loss goal.
4. By following the Atkins program you will lay the permanent groundwork for preventing disease and you will change your life which is even more important that looking good on the beach.

It is very common that I read questions or statements from new Atkineers saying, “How come I feel so tired?” “Why do I have such a headache?” “I have no energy what is this diet doing to me!” One of the problems is no one forewarned them about Induction flu. Induction flu is simply the body burning its last remaining glucose and stored glycogen for energy, and suffering withdrawal effects. It is very similar to what happens when runners “hit the wall” and cyclist “bonk.” In addition to the physical withdrawal symptoms there are the mental symptoms as well. Think of drug addict, are they necessarily pleasant to be around or in high spirits even though they are doing something good. Well the carb addict has the same reaction; I personally was irritable for the first 2 or 3 weeks as I had to figure out how to eat, exert control over what entered my mouth, and regain new comfort foods. It is a dramatic change, and some people resist change. The good news is it is just temporary. It typically only last a few days, but for some the mental effects might last longer. It also shows you are on the right path and making true progress on getting rid of the excess fat. The silver lining is indeed that by the end if you continue the follow the plan you will be burning fat for fuel. You’ll have to watch the video for my suggestions on how to lessen the effects.

10 Minutes 2 Weight Loss
For anyone who has been doing research on diets, exercise and losing weight, there is a mind-boggling smorgasbord ofÂ
information on the internet these days.
Â
You’re basically spoilt for choice as to the diet fads out there: Atkins, Southbeach, Cabbage Soup, Brazilian, Apple CiderÂ
Vinegar, Maple syrup….the list goes on. But when you think about the rationale of some of these diets, one starts to wonderÂ
what some of the side effects can be…..kidney failure, diabetes, nausea, cancer?? Now who wants to lose weight and be stricken with a more serious illness as a result? I know I wouldn’t!
Â
Then there are all the different exercises….spot reduction for firm abs, slim the tummy, increase your metabolism, weightÂ
lifting, resistance training….and the list goes on.
Â
Studies have shown that there are links to the types of food we eat to obesity. Has anyone ever wondered why this is happening in our modern world, but not in our ancient past? Isn’t it time to go Back to basics and embrace the simpleÂ
lifestyle of our ancestors? Adopt a lifestyle they once had and the trends of obesity will spiral down. For example, cut down on processed food, refined sugars, trans fats, saturated fats and eat food that has not been overcooked adn refried in oil that has changed its chimical form through over-use and preservatives. Look at the Japanese in the village…you hardly see an obsese japanese farmer, as they eat siply, relying on fresh produce that have been simply prepared from natural ingredients.
Â
Another aspect apart from what we consume, is how we keep our blood flowing through our body. “Blood” IS the “life force” that runs through our veins and arteries to keep our body alive.
Â
The ancient art of Tai Chi has been around for centuries in China is based on the principle of the flow of “CHI” or “Internal Energy”. However, Tai Chi as an martial art form is a secret not well known to the Western world, simply because of the breakdown in communication and loss in translation from Chinese to English.
Â
If you look at modern China today, you see people doing Tai Chi in the public parks, just like you see joggers in Central Park, New York! I am a strong advocate of sharing the secret of the One-motion Tai Chi, as it is so simple, even a 5 year old can learn it in 5 minutes! Moreover, it takes only 10 minutes a day of this exercise to be effective in losing weight. But one note of caution….it is so powerful and effective that you must learn it CORRECTLY, otherwise you will not know what to look out for to ascertain if the exercise is being effective.
Â
Moreover, don’t be mistaken that it is complicated like the traditional Tai Chi Chuan, which goes through a series of up to 20 different poses to achieve its aim of drawing out your Internal Energy (or “Chi”). What I have tried is totally different and sooo easy that I can do it during my lunch break! No exercise equipment is required and you can do it sitting down, so even the physically impaired will benefit.

Faster Fat Burning Techniques
There are a lot of fat burning techniques the natural and easy way. The problem is that you need to choose the one that will suit you and your body. Remember that the techniques used by other people are oftentimes not suitable for you and your body condition.

You need to be healthy to have a natural weight and fit body. So, always think of your safety while you are into some fat-burning programs.
One of the common ways in burning fats today is by going to gyms and doing some circuit training and exercises.

In this training, weight lifting, sprints, and sometimes boxing are included, plus more than a dozen sets of exercises. Such activities will also make some cardiovascular activities as well as develop the strength of your muscles by doing some lateral movements.
Another technique is the Southbeach diet, which was introduced by celebrities. It has been proven that this technique can really help lose weight faster than others. The program never really focuses on reducing the carbohydrate intake into our body; rather, it will just suppress hunger. But it will not go to the extent of requiring starvation on your part. The program also focuses on attaining a healthy lifestyle and fit body.
It is important that you enjoy doing your weight loss programs. One of the things that could really help you lose weight is the psychological factor.

I heard of the green tea diet, where you drink green tea for breakfast and lunch and then have a sensible dinner. I just want to loose about five pounds, I’m really small, and when I gain five pounds it really shows. Anyone know of any other diets to try?
