Choices of Low Carb Diets
from:Low Carb Diets are based on the theories of controlling carbs, and choosing the right carbs in the process.
The first low carb diet is the Atkins Diet. The theory behind Atkins diet is controlling carbohydrates, or “proactive nutrition”. Atkins diet promises people to lose weight, not be hungry, better heart health, and better memory. This diet is based on the idea that people who are overweight eat too many carbohydrates. Our bodies use fat and carbohydrates for energy, with carbohydrates being used first. With fewer carbohydrates our bodies will burn off stored fat allowing us to lose weight. The Atkins diet plan sets few limits on amount of food eaten, however it restricts the kind of food allowed; example no refined sugar, milk, white rice, or white flour. The plan allows people to eat rich foods; example meat, eggs cheese etc. Individuals are eating almost pure protein and fat. Individuals can eat red meat, fish, poultry, regular cheese, cook with butter, eat mayonnaise, and olive oil. Carbohydrates are restricted (20 grams per day minus fiber) for the first two weeks. This equals three cups of salad or two cups of salad with two thirds cup of certain cooked vegetables each day. There are no exceptions to these rules. Later carbohydrate allowance increases in the form of fiber. These are permanently gone. Individuals can add fruits, vegetables, and whole grain foods after first two weeks. Then individuals transitions from weight loss to weight maintenance as carbohydrates are increased. Exercise is emphasized in all parts.
The second low carb diet is South Beach. South Beach dieters are encouraged to choose the right carbohydrates, such as whole grains, certain fruits and vegetables, the right fats olive and canola oils, and lean protein. How the South Beach diet plan works is that dieters follow phase one for two weeks. Individuals eat normal size portions of lean meat, fish, eggs, reduced fat cheese, nonfat yogurt, nuts, and plenty of vegetables. Snacks and desert are a part of the plan. Dieters continue with phase two until they are done losing weight. This is where individuals introduce the right carbohydrates such as whole grains, and most fruits. Some indulgences are allowed. Once individuals have reached their goal weight they move on to phase three. People continue to make excellent choices to maintain their healthy lifestyle. The South Beach diet comes from the idea that Americans are carbohydrate crazy. Phase one is designed to help people stop craving carbohydrates and carbohydrates are downplayed through the rest of the diet. Highly processed carbohydrates get digested too soon, insulin levels shoot up., and once those carbohydrates are burned up, the individual’s high insulin makes them crave food, so what do Americans eat, more carbohydrates. The South Beach diet promises to make you want to eat better food.
Low carb diets are about creating goals, and following specific plans to lose weight. Then with the right balance, low carb diets help individuals to maintain that weight loss.
