NO-CARB DIET - HIGH PROTEIN DIETING - ATKINS

NO CARB DIET

The no-carb diet is not a good option for dieting. The concept that you can eat no carbs is ridiculous. You need some carbs to survive. The concept for the no-carb diet springs from the popular results from the various low-carb diets on the market. This diet is just an attempt to magnify the results even further. Yet the weight loss on the low-carb diets is questionably healthy, therefore the no-carb diet could warrant much more warning.

Even in the most restrictive phases of low-carb diets still require a small carbohydrate intake. In the Atkins diet, during the induction pahse (which lasts 2 weeks) you are asked to consume 20 grams of carbs a day. It then increases your carb consumption through the procedding phases, getting up to 90 to 120 grams a day with no weight gain.

The amounts of fat and protein you would be consuming would leave you with strained kidneys due the increase in waste that would need to be expelled from your body on a regular basis. Much of the initial weight loss you would experience would be water loss. The fat from the meat you eat would drive up your cholestrol and make you more prone to heart disease and attacks. Overall this is not a diet to pursue.
