Atkins Diet

Perhaps the most widely known of all low carb diets is the Atkins diet. Created by Dr. Robert Atkins in the 1970s the Atkins diet is considered by some to be the most extreme low carb diet plan. Dr. Atkins believed that nearly all obesity is caused by overactive insulin production and not by overeating. He believed that overeating could be caused by carbohydrate addiction and that most overweight people actually ate less than their slim counterparts. However, they crave and eat carbohydrate, which raises their insulin levels and suppresses fat burning. Dr. Atkins is a proponent of ketogenic fat burning, which is achieved by eating fewer than 40 grams of carbohydrate each day. He advises his followers to buy testing strips so that they can measure the amount of ketones in their urine daily to confirm that they are in a constant state of ketosis. He also recommends the use of dietary supplements to help balance nutrition and the bodies systems. The Atkins Diet is divided into four stages: the Induction diet, the Ongoing Weight Loss diet, the Pre-Maintenance diet, and finally the Lifetime Maintenance diet. The Induction diet is very strict as far as carb elimination (20 grams or less per day), but generous in the allowance of fat and protein. It should be noted that low starch vegetables are the recommended source of carbs. This phase of the diet lasts 14 days and is followed by the Ongoing Weight Loss diet (OWL). The OWL phase allows for the reintroduction of certain good carbs but the levels are kept below 40 grams a day. Dieters stay on OWL until they reach their ideal weight. Once the ideal weight is reached dieters transition into the Pre-Maintenance diet, where they experiment with reintroducing certain good carbs until they discover their carb tolerance level (the total

Carbohydrate Addict’s Diet

Husband and wife scientist team Drs. Rachael and Richard Heller introduced the term "Carbohydrate Addict" in their 1993 book The Carbohydrates Addict's Diet. The idea is that some people are addicted to carbohydrates just like alcoholics are addicted to alcohol and drug addicts are addicted to drugs. This addiction causes strong cravings, insulin resistance and weight gain. Dr. Rachael Heller developed the diet to eliminate her own obesity and had maintained her dramatic weight loss for more than twenty years by the time the first book was written. The Heller's believe that insulin imbalance caused by carbohydrates causes the body to crave more food and interferes with serotonin release that would signal that the body is full. This leads to overeating and weight gain. The Heller's recommend that the carb addict should limit his or her carb intake to a "reward meal", eat three times per day and avoid snacks until the person is out of the weight loss phase of the diet. In addition to the diet plan, the Hellers also cover psychological triggers that can cause carb addicts to binge on carbs and gain weight. They encourage dieters to identify personal emotional triggers and how to avoid these triggers to help lose weight. One of the most important theories of this diet is that being overweight is not the fault of the obese person. Why? Because the person's biology and the addictive power of carbohydrates is working against them. Like all other low carb plans, the Hellers recommend that processed foods and many types of sugar should be avoided. However, they also state that some starchy carbs should be eaten with reward meals if desired so that the dieter will be more likely to stick with the diet for the long-term. The Heller's believe that carb addiction is treated over the long-term with good

South Beach Diet

Developed by Dr. Arthur Agatston, The South Beach Diet touts itself as teaching dieters to eat the right carbs and the right fats. The diet has three phases. In the first dieter's banish their bad carb cravings and induce rapid weight loss. In the second phase, some types of carbs are reintroduced and weight loss is slower. The final phase is the "Diet for Life" phase. This is the maintenance diet and will be followed for the rest of the dieter's life. If at any time the dieter begins to gain unwanted pounds, then he simply goes through the induction and pre-maintenance phases again. The first phase emphasizes protein from high-quality meat sources with lots of fresh vegetables and salads with real olive oil dressing. Bread, rice, pastas, potatoes, baked goods, soy milk and cheese, yogurt, beets, carrots, corn and all fruit are forbidden in the 14-day induction phase. This includes all candy, cake, ice cream and sugar, plus meats that are cured in sugar or molasses. The diet encourages three meals a day with a mid-morning and a mid-afternoon snack. There is also a daily meal plan. This plan includes strict portion control in the induction phase. An example of a daily snack is 20 peanuts. And 30 pistachios is another snack option. Unlike Atkins, unlimited protein consumption is not advised or allowed on this diet. However, during the later phases of the diet some of the strict portion control does end and dieters are able to eat until satiated. Some of the forbidden foods can be slowly reintroduced, sometimes in modified form in the second phase of the diet. The second phase lasts until the dieter's goal weight is reached. However, white flour products, potatoes, corn, carrots, beets and sweet fruits like banana and pineapple are still forbidden. After dieters reach their ideal weight,

Basic Meat and Eggs or Tofu

Carbs Per Serving: 7g total Effort: Easy Ingredients: ½ pound chicken, beef, or ham – cooked and cut according to preference OR 12 ounces tofu, firm drained very well OR 6 large eggs 2 tablespoons mayonnaise 1 tablespoon yellow mustard ¼ cup chopped onion ¼ cup chopped celery 2 tablespoons capers – drained 3 tablespoons dill pickle – chopped How to Prepare: Note: chop meats to desired chunkiness after cooking. Leftovers work great! In a large bowl, mix desired main ingredient with remaining ingredients. Season to taste with salt and pepper. I like to add a little horseradish sauce to the ham or roast beef salad for some zip. For egg salad: Mix everything but the eggs well. Chop eggs to desired chunkiness and fold into mixed ingredients. Add a few drops of tabasco sauce if desired. A squeeze of lemon also goes well. For eggless salad: Mix everything but the tofu Squish tofu with your hands or with a fork until it breaks apart. Fold in with remaining ingredients. Eggless salad should sit for at least an hour, refrigerated, before serving. Lemon or a few drops soy sauce work great in tofu based salads. **personal note*** Process meats find in a food processor for more of a ‘spread’ consistency. Don’t process with the remaining ingredients until you get the meat broken down almost to the size you want. The spreads work very well on lettuce leaves for roll-ups The chunky version works great over lettuce for a salad meal. NOTES : Counts for tofu and eggs not included in totals… tofu is 10 carbs, eggs 3.6.

The Glycemic Index Diet

Written by Rick Gallop, a former President of The Heart and Stroke Foundation of Ontario, The Glycemic Index (GI) Diet claims, "if you can understand a traffic light, you'll understand this diet". Gallop divides food into three groups based on their glycemic index, how fast they cause spikes in blood sugar levels. He separates food into green light, yellow light and red light foods. Glucose is set at a GI level of 100 and all other foods are compared against it. Red light foods should be avoided, yellow light foods are avoided during the initial weight loss phase and eaten occasionally during the ongoing maintenance phase and green light foods should form the basis of your diet throughout. No special foods need to be purchased. Simply look up where your favorite foods fit in the plan, eat green, sample some yellow and avoid red. Period. Gallop says dieters should expect to lose one to two pounds per week and need not start with a crash diet. While this is a low carb diet it is not as high protein as most of the other diets and encourages dieters to cut fats as well as carbs. He also encourages exercising for 30 minutes each day and eating three balanced meals that include carbs, proteins and fats. According to Gallop, followers of the GI diet should consider it a lifestyle change that they will adhere to for the rest of their lives, not a diet. It isn't easy, though. For example consider this "Red Light foods" list and note all of the "good eats": Baked beans w/pork Refried beans Alcoholic beverages Regular soft drinks Bagels Croissants Baguettes Cake Cookies Cornbread English muffins Hamburger buns Hot dog buns Kaiser rolls Melba toast Muffins Doughnuts Pancakes Waffles Pizza Regular Granola Bars Stuffing Tortillas White bread Millet White rice Instant rice Rice cakes Cold Cereals Cream of Wheat Granola Grits Muesli Instant oatmeal Croutons Ketchup Mayonnaise Tartar sauce Cheese Chocolate milk Cottage cheese Cream Cream cheese Ice Cream Whole/2% milk Sour Cream Yogurt Butter Coconut oil Hard Margarine Lard Palm oil Peanut butter Regular salad dressing Tropical oils Vegetable shortening Cantaloupe Dates Honeydew melon Prunes Raisins Watermelon Canned fruit in syrup All
