The country's favourite diet, the Atkins Diet, has fallen out of favour over the last few years. It was once thought of as a popular weight loss plan that promised quick and easy results while promoting long-term benefits. This has not always been the case for some people who have found themselves struggling to maintain weight after adhering to this diet regimen. This article will explore what you need to know about Atkins before making an investment in your health. Atkins was originally a weight-loss diet created in the 1960s. Today it is considered a high protein, low carbohydrate diet that promises quick weight loss. It also promotes a healthy heart and blood pressure. This diet has been known to work for many people, but if the users do not follow the correct protocol it may not be as effective or can even cause harm. The Atkins Diet is broken down into 4 phases from induction to maintenance and finally pre-maintenance. The induction phase, which typically lasts 2 weeks, is meant to help people lose weight quickly by getting their bodies into ketosis or 'fat burning' mode in which they start using stored fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. The diet restricts the amount of carbs to 20 grams per day. It encourages users to consume lean meat, low-fat cheese, nuts and non-starchy vegetables like spinach and broccoli. The second phase of Atkins offers more freedom for people to choose what they eat. Carbohydrates are slowly reintroduced into the diet over time until the maintenance phase is reached which allows for up to 60% of daily calories to be consumed in carbohydrate foods. The maintenance stage will vary depending on each person's needs and goals. The Atkins Diet was automatically classified as a fad diet when it first came out in the 1960s because it did not follow proper nutrition guidelines. The setting of the diet was flawed by encouraging people to eat large amounts of meat, which made it difficult for some people to follow the diet over time. Also, the nature of the diet promoted by Atkins lacked some establishing nutrients that are essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle. This lack of nutrients extends to vitamins and minerals that are also needed for a healthy lifestyle like: Vitamin B12, vitamin D and iron. It is because these minerals and vitamins were not included in the diet that it has been labeled as a fad diet. Due to this fact, there were significantly fewer studies conducted on this diet than other popular diets such as the Medifast Diets or South Beach Diet. The Atkins diet can pose problems when used incorrectly because it promotes high fat foods. Many people who have found themselves overweight after adhering to this diet have complained of being fatigued and weak. They have also complained of being hungry all the time, although they never consume enough calories to maintain a healthy weight. As a result of these problems, some people have turned to other diets that do not restrict fat intake such as the Zone Diet or DASH diet. The Zone Diet also encourages higher amounts of protein and lower amounts of carbohydrates instead of restricting them completely like the Atkins Diet does. cfa1e77820
