How to Do the Atkins Diet Right
High Protein Diets and Bad Breath
High
Protein Diets Can Have a “Bad”
Impact: With all the
excitement regarding high protein
diets, one area that is often not
talked about is a diet rich in protein
can be a major contributor to bad
breath. Actually, there are several
causes of bad breath, many of which
most people have given little, if any,
thought to.
How
to Do the Atkins Diet Right?
Let me tell you something - if you
are doing the Atkins Diet, you might
be doing it WRONG. I have been on diet
forums for years, have consulted
thousands of people on low carb diets,
and I am seeing it again and again.
People don't know how to implement a
low carb diet. Very often people fail
to lose weight or to adapt to the low
carb life style. Many people give it
up after a couple of days because they
don't know how to do it right. The
Atkins Diet is the most famous low
carb diet, but it is full of pitfalls
just waiting for you to walk into.

South
Beach Diet Overview: Developed
by Dr. Arthur Agatston, The South
Beach Diet touts itself as teaching
dieters to eat the right carbs and the
right fats. The diet has three phases.
In the first dieter’s banish their
bad carb cravings and induce rapid
weight loss. In the second phase, some
types of carbs are reintroduced and
weight loss is slower. The final phase
is the “Diet for Life” phase. This
is the maintenance diet and will be
followed for the rest of the dieter’s
life. If at any time the dieter begins
to gain unwanted pounds, then he
simply goes through the induction and
pre-maintenance phases again.
Tips
to Help You Lose Excess Fat:
Believe it or not, losing a little
or a lot of fat involves pretty much
the same concept - consistent dieting
coupled with cardiovascular exercise
and weight training. This is how the
professionals do it, and it works. If
you are overweight, you may be
hesitant to start a weight training
program, but the benefits far outweigh
any reservations you may have.
Understanding
the Glycemic Index: Things
get so confusing when it comes to
understanding what foods are high on
the glycemic index scale and what
effects your blood sugar production. I
have focused a lot of my diet around
eating lower glycemic index foods, but
more importantly understanding that
even when you eat high glycemic foods
you can help reduce the blood sugar
impact, by eating a combination of
both high and low glycemic index foods
together, that overall helps slow down
the insulin production in your body.
Weight
Loss Surgery Options? To
understand how surgical procedures aid
the grossly overweight person to
reduce their body fat, it helps to
first understand the digestive process
that is responsible for handling the
food we take in.
