 mr tiger fish's recommendation | |
Works, I don't feel hungry, skin feels better, after the induction phase the energy levels are very high.
You need to be creative in your cooking to keep the food varied and interesting. My breath was awful for about two weeks of the induction phase and then improved a lot.
You will need to research how the body metabolism works to use Atkins' approach and tune it to your body in the final phases. If you can grasp the idea of insulin response to blood sugar surges, you're most of the way there. The other key concept is ketosis, not to be confused with ketoacidosis. Your body will experience very mild ketosis as it breaks down stored fat to maintain blood sugar levels. Soon, you will know what stable blood sugar level feels like and you will not want to go back to hunger pangs and strong peaks and troughs of blood sugar levels caused by high starch intake.
A highly effective diet. Not for those who are unable to cook. Those who are competent in the kitchen will have no problems juggling food mixes within the constraints of the diet. I'd recommend it if you have the patience to grasp the principles first.
