Let me tell you something - if you have the Atkins diet, you can make mistakes. I was a nutrition forums for many years, has been consulted on thousands of low-carbohydrate diet, and I see it again and again. People do not know how to take diet low carbohydrates.

Very often, people do not lose weight or to adapt to a little crabs way of life. Many people give up after a couple of days, because they do not know how. The Atkins diet is the most famous diet a little crab, but it is full of traps waiting for you to walk.

Rule No. 1: calories count. You have to calculate the carbohydrates and calories

Some of you believe that weight loss is simply by reducing carbohydrates. In fact, many do. Hunting, hidden sugars, and completely forgetting the calories you eat, you must be present in failure. The only reason that the diet low carbohydrates is that they reduce the appetite. You can end up eating fewer calories and lose weight.


The problem is that all people have begun to eat fewer calories after the transition to a diet low carbohydrates. The only 100% bullets way to lose weight is to cut calories. Do not rely simply by reducing carbohydrates.

Eat fewer carbohydrates and fewer calories. Number of calories! It is much easier to restrict calories when you're a diet low carbohydrates, because you do not know hunger as a high-carbine food.

Rule no. 2 : 20 gram of carbohydrates a day

The Atkins diet you eat only 20 grams of carbohydrates a day during the first two weeks of the diet. Then you have recommended a gradual increase in the number of carbohydrates you eat. I would urge you to reverse the order of events.

Start to eat more than 80 grams of carbohydrates a day, counting calories, and then reduce them more if you like.

My reasoning is so very simple.you during the shortages of energy, because you take carbohydrates, and it will take some time to burn fat is to use enzymes more fat as fuel. If you suddenly start eating a super small amount of carbohydrates, you'll feel entirely of energy, because the body is unable to produce quickly that many fat burning enzymes. If, however, to reduce the carbohydrates Gradually, you will be providing oman the body to adapt to the diet without the misery of being lethargic.

You can also begin to eat 150 grams of carbohydrates a day the first week and then reduce them to 100 grams per second, and so on. You have to be so tired, and because you do not count the calories are in the process of losing weight.

You should wait for time to about two weeks, during which you do not have a lot of energy, but it has to pass. Do not give up just lack of energy. It is temporary. If you do not listen to me, and gradually reduce the carbohydrates, you can experience much less pronounced decline in physical and mental.

Rule No. 3: Calories control of body weight, NO carbohydrates.

If you do not eat fewer calories than you burn, you'll need to lose weight regardless of the number of carbohydrates you eat. You do not need to go super low-carbohydrates, the typical experience, loss of appetite, which is so important than ever to succeed in the system.

I eat about 50-80 grams of carbohydrates a day, throughout the year, and I am a single-digit body fat%. Because I control the carbohydrates and calories.

You can not eat just 20 grams of carbohydrates for a long time. It is too impractical, hard to do and unnecessary. You did a fine eating 80 grams of carbohydrates a day, so long as to calculate the calories.

Rule No. 4: Do not let your coffee

Atkins recommends that you avoid caffeine and only drink decaffeinated coffee. It is totally unnecessary. If you have a way of drinking coffee, just continue to do so. You have a much easier during the transitional period. Coffee makes body to burn more fat, and helps you adapt to burn fat more quickly.

Coffee also to suppress your appetite, and, to a thermogenic effect (you burn more calories). Last but not least, the coffee is a highly addictive, and it is difficult to give up. I know a few people who have renounced the Atkins diet for the simple reason that he says to stop drinking coffee! Let me tell you - Coffee helps weight loss efforts. It is totally unnecessary to adopt them.

Rule No. 5: Do not avoid milk and yogurt products

Eat plain yogurt linked to weight loss, a mysterious reasons. Researchers speculate that the calcium in dairy products, which promotes weight loss. Whatever the reason, milk and yogurt are in good health and weight loss.

They have a certain amount of carbohydrates, but, as I have said to you, there is no need to go beyond a somewhat low-carbohydrate, if you can control the calories.

Here is a little-known fact that most small-carbine dieters do not know. Plain yogurt is 3 times less carbohydrates, that the words! The reason is simple. Yogurt is billions of bacteria known as probiotics health, which flourishes on glucose. These probiotics to eat carbohydrates in the milk, and turn it into lactic acid. At a time when manufacturers measure carbohydrates, they will do so, that the method of "carbohydrate difference." They measure everything else (protein, fat, water, etc.), and what remains is supposed to be carbohydrates. But what remains to be carbohydrates + lactic acid.

If you want to know that the actual amount of carbohydrates, yogurt, divided into the number of carbohydrates on the label, 3. Is it just plain yogurt. Avoids all the treaties and artificially carbine responsible for yogurt. Eat plain yogurt!

Rule No. 6: A low-carbine diet is a high-fat diet

By definition, a diet low carbohydrates is high in fat. Some people turn to low-carbine diet, low-carbine, and low-fat diet. What a mistake! First of all, if you do not eat plenty of protein in a low-carbine low-fat diet, you'll get hungry.

Secondly, eat less fat slows down the adjustment to burn fat and develop the misery. Thirdly, the oman the body needs some fat and fat-soluble vitamins to digest proteins that you eat. Without the fat that you get sick, stomach upset and become severely constipated.

Women should be very careful to eat enough fat. Many women do not eat meat or eat only very lean meat. They have to find a way to get more fat diet through a high-fat cheeses.
Fat should represent more than 50% of calories you eat.

Rule No. 7: Do not be fooled, that the rapid weight loss

Most of the weight that is lost during the first two weeks of a restrictive diet is water. It is a low-carbine diet, you can lose even more water. The weight loss is slowing down after the first two weeks. Be ready, it is quite natural occur. Do not expect miracles.

We will make a summary. Number of calories. Hunting, hidden sugars, and not forgetting the calories is one of the main reasons plateaus. Limitation carbohydrates gradually. Eating more fat to control your appetite. Do not go to a somewhat low-carbohydrate. Go as low as you feel comfortable. As long as you can control the calories you are a route to success.
