Is The Atkins Diet Healthy? By viggie
There are many wives tales out there about what to believe about whats right and wrong when it comes to losing weight. Everyone seems to have their own two cents on what is right to eat and how much of it you should take in.
The Atkins has been a popular idea for a long time around the weight loss community. There are people who swear by this system and say that it is the law when it comes to weight loss. This is largely a myth in my eyes and here is why.
I think we can all come to terms on one certainty too many carbohydrates combined with not enough exercise to burn that energy will result in weight gain. On the total other side of the spectrum is the Atkins plan which claims that consuming any carbs is bad, and if you want to drop weight you need to completely cut them from your diet.
The truth is going to probably lie somewhere in between both opinions. It is a simple equation if you want to lose weight; burn more calories than you
take in on a given day. There are 3500 calories/pound so if you are eating 500 more calories a day than you lose then you will put on a pound a week. The reciprocal is also true for losing weight. Yes there are things that could affect this outcome on a scale for example amount of water intake if that changes from day to day, but all things being the same the above example will stay true.
There are bad calories and good calories that you can eat. Atkins would have you think that all carbs are bad for you which is actually not the case. If you talk to a nutritionist 30%-60% caloric intake should be carbs. That range is the range that I have personally been told by "experts" in the field. It is a wide range but you will observe that it doesn't include zero.
One thing that I do personally is take in most of my carbohydrates in the first few meals of the day or an hour before I workout which will give me that added energy I need through my workout.
