Tips for Low Carb Diet
-Understanding that reasonable (moderate) restriction of carbs can be a helpful short term strategy for fat loss, a good way to reach a peak, a legitimate method to control a
ppetite, and an effective way for some people to control insulin. But also understanding that a balanced diet of natural foods is probably the most suitable of all the diets for health, lifelong maint
enance and weight control.
-Knowing that fat loss always did and always will boil down to calories in vs. calories out. Taking the time and effort to crunch your numbers (at least once), typing up
your menu on a spreadsheet, keeping a diary, and/or using nutrition tracking software.

The Atkins Diet: Induction
-Its purpose is to induce a change in your body chemistry that leads to lipolysis (burning fat for energy) and a secondary process known as ketosis. According to Dr. At
kins' New Diet Revolution, Induction does a number of good things for you. Among other benefits, Atkins says induction...
-Switches over your metabolism from burning carbs for energy to burning fa
t, leading to significant weight loss.
-Results in a stabilization of blood sugar levels.
-Alleviates blood sugar-related ailments such as headaches.
-Curbs cravings and food addictions.
-
Induction is not the Atkins Diet itself, only the introductory period you follow for the first two weeks. It requires that you follow some rather precise rules in order to be effective.

According to many experts, most overweight people became overweight due to a condition called hyperinsulinemia -- elevated insulin levels in the blood. When you eat a high-carbohydrate meal, the incre
ased blood sugar stimulates insulin production by the pancreas. It causes fat to be deposited, and it stimulates your brain to produce hunger signals. You eat more carbohydrates, and the cycle repeats
.
-Restricting the intake of carbohydrates puts a halt to this vicious cycle. When you restrict your carbohydrate intake, your insulin levels decrease and the levels of glucagon increase. Glucagon
is a hormone that causes body fat to be burned and cholesterol to be removed from deposits in the arteries
