Notes of the Egoist

It is the lifelong principle of the food which are based on consumption of balanced healthy food and food additives. Diet Atkinsa limits the use processed/cleared carbohydrates (which 50 % in a diet of the majority of people make), such, as sweets, flour, cereal products, krahmalistye vegetables. From the moment of an exit of the first book "Dietary revolution of Doctor Atkinsa" in the seventies approximately 20 million people all over the world have successfully taken advantage of this diet.

The diet has three basic phases. On the first, stimulating phase which usually lasts 2-3 weeks, it is necessary to limit carbohydrates till 14-20 g in day. For this time the organism gets used to a new way of life, the metabolism is normalised, and also there is the most considerable loss of weight - on the average from 2 to 6 kg, depending on initial weight of a body and degree of normalisation of a metabolism. It speaks that in the absence of carbohydrates in an organism are formed ketonovye bodies (so-called good-quality ketoz) at which energy undertakes not from food, and of own fatty adjournment. Thanks to a food by albuminous and fat food, and then and thanking ketozu you do not feel hunger, that is the diet passes easily enough (not including weaknesses and dizzinesses in the first days which reason is organism reorganisation).

Then there comes the following phase at which it is possible to increase some quantity of carbohydrates - but so that ketoz did not stop. The increase in carbohydrates is necessary. Someone presumes to use to itself(himself) 100 g carbohydrates in day, not ceasing to grow thin, at others ketoz stops for 30 For quantity definition ketonovyh bodies in urine it is possible to order test strips. This phase can last as much as long while at you the desirable weight will not be established.

Last phase - supporting, you should not admit, that the dumped kgs have returned!!! Add still carbohydrates, but watch the weight and volumes. If the weight starts to come back, it is necessary to reduce carbohydrates urgently. If will come back too quickly - to return to a stimulating diet.
