How Atkins Diet Works?

The theory of Atkins diet was based on overweight people eat too many carbs. Carbs, in the form of glucose, is the first fuel used to provide energy to our body. Dr Atkins suggests that when we reduce our intake of carbs significantly, our body convert from burning carbs to burning fat as fuel. This process is known as lipolysis. The secondary result of this process is ketosis. Ketosis is a state in which body burns fat as fuel. When fat is burned for fuel, ketones are released through the breath and urine. This is how we lose weight through Atkins Diet Plan.

Atkins diet focuses on the consumption of nutrient-dense, unprocessed foods  and vitamin-nutrient supplementation. It restricts consumption of food which is high of processed or refined carbs and sugar which increase body's production of insulin. The impairment of the hormone insulin's inability to do its jobs of processing fuel or fats and sugar properly is termed as insulin resistance. As a result body store more fat than it should. By reducing bad-carbs, the insulin-resistance starts cleaning up on its own. Weight begin to decrease, and body begins metabolizing carbs properly eventually preventing more fat from being formed. So, Atkins' plan suggests that by drastically reducing carbs and eating more protein and fat, our bodies naturally lose weight by burning stored body fat more efficiently.

Beside that, by modifying your diet you won't feel hungry between meal simply because you have maintain an even blood sugar level. Your cravings for carbs will subside and you won't miss the foods you are doing without.

As a result of The Atkins diet eating plan, not only will you lose weight -- and no starving  -- with a low-carbohydrate diet, but you'll also be on the road to better heart health, as well as other wellness benefits.
