Dette innlegget laget en lang diskusjon for/i mot Atkins varer. Det endte faktisk opp med at de fleste ut fra egne erfaringer med disse varene kunne fortelle at vekt tapet stoppet opp når de begynte å spise produktene daglig. Med andre ord - er disse produktene så bra for oss, selv om www.atkins.com (http://www.atkins.com) nå forteller at de ER det ?? I DANDR fra 2003 frarådes det jo å venne seg til "frankenfoods"..... Jeg føler meg slett ikke komfortabel med alle disse produktene. Jeg er med på at Ketchup og drikker og slikt er greitt å ha. Faren er av vi begynner å spise ting vi allikevel ikke spiste før, - bare "fordi vi kan". Og så ender vi opp med å spise altfor mye av det også. Porsjonskontroll blir mye vanskeligere. "1 serving" kan være utrolig lite og villeder oss med sine "only 2 net carbs !" Hva syns/tror dere ?
If you began doing lowcarb by following the guidelines outlined in the newest book to come out of the (noticeably changed) Atkins camp that seems to be emerging since Dr. Atkins passed away, "Atkins Essentials: A Two-Week Guide to Jump Start Your Low Carb Lifestyle" your first step is to ditch that book (burn it!) and instead adhere to the rules of induction in the last book by Dr. Atkins before his death, "Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution."
If you pay close attention you will see that there are some striking differences in the induction plans outlined in each book. The biggest difference is that the Atkins Essentials book permits (some would argue that it promotes) the use of the newer lowcarb "products" including those that contain grains and sugar alcohols. Most long-term successful lowcarbers will tell you that including these products rarely helps, they are more often counterproductive to weight loss. Many all-the-way-to-goal successful lowcarbers see the burgeoning supply of new lowcarb products on the market not as a help to lowcarbers but as a sad impediment to successful lowcarbing.
Thus, if you began with a product-heavy lowcarb program, you could be very surprised to find that if you meticulously follow the guidelines in the original plan, getting the majority of your carbohydrates from the induction-allowed list of vegetables, this could very well be all you need to get things rolling in a better direction.
Another common problem with lowcarbers that is only lightly glossed over in the book is failure to pay any attention to calories and the percentages of fats, proteins, as well as the number of carbs in the diet. Calories can be either too high or too low–both will eventually result in problems. While it isn’t necessary to worry much about calories the first few days on lowcarb as the changeover to natural appetite-suppressing ketosis takes place, after that change occurs calories will matter somewhat, and it is therefore a good idea to keep an eye on them. The way to determine your individual caloric needs is to first find your body’s basal metabolism rate (see the link at the bottom of this page), and eat no fewer than that number of calories per day, but no more than 200-250 above that. (This number will need to be adjusted slightly after each 10 pounds you lose.) Of course, keep your net carbs (total carbs minus pure fiber carbs only) to the number you are supposed to be eating depending on where you are in the plan, and keep your protein intake to a minimum of half, but no more grams per day than the number of pounds of your ideal body weight. Get your remaining necessary daily calories from the fats (some of which will already be coming from the ones that occur naturally in the meats you eat).
One of the best ways to keep track of this is at the free online site at www.fitday.com. It takes a little time to learn, but go ahead and invest the time to understand it. Because having a daily journal to look back on can be an extremely valuable tool for helping you figure out problems if/when they pop up along the way.
Oh, and I have just one word about trying to beat the system or get better or faster results by attempting to combine low-fat with lowcarb. Don’t. It NEVER ever works—LONG TERM.
