I want my readers to say: "I knew I'd lose weight, but I never realized I would feel so much healthier. In the short term, it's also a sure road to daily misery, making you irritable and tired during the day and sleepless at night.
In the long term, it leads grimly on toward heart disease, hypertension, diabetes and a host of other catastrophes. What I'm going to show you is not just a way to lose weight, but a way to eat for the rest of your life so you can be slim and healthy and stay that way. For too many people, the word diet implies not an approach to eating for a lifetime, but a two-months-on, ten-months-off weight loss game that they play with themselves-year after year.
That is not what this book is about! I believe this so strongly that from now on I'll speak not of the Atkins Diet, but of the Atkins Nutritional Approach or "doing Atkins" or even just "Atkins. The Atkins Nutritional Approach will make you healthy because it is different from the typical American way of eating. Simply put, you avoid the negative consequences of too much carbohydrate intake, all of which can be attributed to too much insulin release in your body.
Well, since they say one picture is worth a thousand words, how about two? The Two Pictures In the first picture, I am standing behind a huge table heaped with food.
My expression is a mixture of pride and anticipation, and no wonder. There are mounds of seeds and nuts, platters of fish, a lobster in drawn butter, well-seasoned fish, turkey and duck and certainly a juicy steak. You'll spy an omelette that would do any breakfast table proud. There's no lack of variety here. I see vegetables in abundance, fresh green salads drenched in healthy olive oil-based dressing overflowing their bowls, and peeking out through the foliage, blueberries, strawberries and raspberries topped with whipped cream.
There's a variety of cheeses. And since this is a picture of the food you'll be eating after you've lost your extra pounds and have reached the Lifetime Maintenance phase of Atkins, you will also notice a glass of wine, pan-fried sweet potatoes, a platter of melon and slices of peaches and plums.
Finally, developments in creating controlled carbohydrate substitute ingredients make it possible to also place a pleasing array of controlled carb bread, cheesecake, ice cream and cookies on the groaning table. It's a mouthwatering spread, and I'm hovering over it with a hungry eye. To my mind, the food I've just envisioned is quite luxurious.
If you believe that weight loss requires self-deprivation, I'm going to insist on teaching you other wise. I equate healthy eating with gastronomic pleasure and, soon, you will too. My second picture is of you. I'm very hopeful that it resembles the future you. The you in this picture I'm conjuring up is finally the weight you've always had as your goal, or fairly close.
You feel great-full of energy. Your skin is glowing with health. If you've been exercising, your toned muscles show it. The you in this picture isn't worried about weight loss anymore. You no longer need to spend your time planning the stages of a new diet, constantly concerned about your eating, feeling guilty when you break promises you've made to yourself.
After all, you've found a nutritional approach that will last you for a healthy and vigorous lifetime, and it's become so natural you hardly have to think about it anymore. It's second nature. This is an obvious win-win situation. It offers you the pleasure of eating and the promise of being healthier than before. The major reason for turning it down would be skepticism.
If that's it, here's my answer: Read this book. When it's all boiled down, what I'm going to show you in New Diet Revolution is how to eat what's in the first picture and look just like the second. Delicious eating and lifetime health.
Not a bad bargain! The Two Boasts I don't make such promises lightly-and if I have to boast to get your attention then here goes. Atkins is the most successful weight loss-and weight maintenance-program of the last quarter of the twentieth century.
The fact is, by methods you're about to learn, it works an astonishing proportion of the time for the vast majority of men and women. Atkins works because it targets our stored body fat. The fat is not there just to make us overweight but is our body's back-up system for fuel to generate energy.
If we take it out of the 13 back-up position and convert our body to using it as a primary fuel source, the result is an extremely efficient weight loss and weight maintenance program. This switch occurs when only an insignificant amount of carbohydrates, our body's primary fuel, is available. And it's an easy switch to control, because very little glycogen made from carbohydrate is stored in our bodies; if we eat fewer carbs, we almost immediately trip the switch. The Atkins Nutritional Approach can positively impact the lives of people facing the risk factors associated with diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension.
It can also alleviate gastrointestinal problems, and certain allergies, chronic pain and immune system weaknesses. In my clinical practice we treat individuals with optimized diets and vitanutrients.
Only a small percentage of patients come to us with weight problems alone. Usually nutritional solutions make the difference that medication alone cannot accomplish. There is a close relationship between the first boast and the second.
Making proper nutritional choices is the largest single component of retaining or restoring good health. My goal is to make you become a healthy and happy person and to show you how to stay that way. I will certainly also show you how to lose weight and keep it off forever.
Changing Your Mind Set Have you bought into the idea that to lose weight and feel good you have to adopt a low-fat diet? If so, the principles and approach I'm about to outline for you might just seem counterintuitive. They certainly do to those who criticize them.
But in the ten years since this book was first published, new scientific research has been conducted and published that shows that a controlled carbohydrate nutritional approach is better for you-and for your body-than a lowfat, high-carbohydrate nutritional approach.
But let's cut to the chase. Here are three questions you should be asking yourself right about now: 1. Is this safe? Is this nutritionally sound?
Will I keep the weight off once I lose it? I take these questions, and the misinformation that surrounds the answers, so seriously that I've devoted an entire chapter Chapter 9 to the myths and misconceptions that have been spread about controlled carbohydrate nutrition.
Yes, and there is plenty of hard science to back that up. In fact, a number of studies conducted in the past two years which we will refer to in future chap ters show that a controlled carbohydrate nutritional approach helps improve the clinical parameters affecting heart disease and other illnesses while not causing harm to your liver, kidneys or bone structure.
Nutritionally sound? Yes, a person following the typical menu and eating foods containing just 20 grams of carbohydrates meets or exceeds the daily recommended allowance of most vitamins and minerals.
As you move through the phases of Atkins, you get even more. Keep off all the lost weight? Nothing could be more true. Once you've seen the results and committed yourself to good health you'll realize that it's much easier than you ever thought possible.
Because of the types of foods that are part of Atkins, it's actually possible to happily make a change in the way you eat-and look and feel-for good. You will lose weight. It's hard not to. Both men and women who follow the Atkins approach to weight loss readily take off pounds and inches. For the small numbers who have a truly hardcore metabolic resistance to weight loss, Chapter 20 will go into detail about how to overcome the barriers that prevent a successful outcome. Optimizing body weight is a valuable element of any health-oriented program because, by and large, being significantly overweight is an indicator of potential health problems, now or in the future.
When you've taken the pounds off, you'll see the benefits, and they will be far more than merely cosmetic. You will maintain your weight loss. This is where the Atkins Nutritional Approach leaves most other diets in the dust. Almost every experienced dieter has gone on a diet, worked hard, lost a lot of pounds and gained them all back in a few months or perhaps a year.
Although many people can tolerate hunger for a while, very few can tolerate it for a lifetime. Deprivation is no fun. Once the biological gap between hunger and fulfillment grows too large, the rebound can be amazingly rapid as well as heartbreaking and humiliating. But that's the problem of diets that restrict quantities. The Atkins program refuses to accept hunger as a way of life.
The plan includes foods that have enough fat and protein so hunger is not the huge issue it is on other weight loss plans. But it still allows dieters to maintain a healthy weight for a lifetime.
You will achieve good health. The change is amazing. Doing Atkins, you meet your nutritional needs by eating delicious, healthy, filling foods and avoiding the sugar and carbs that junk food is loaded with. As a result, you become less tired and more energetic, not merely because of the weight loss, but because the physical consequences of a truly dysfunctional blood sugar and insulin metabolism are reversed. Doing Atkins, people start feeling good even before they reach their goal weight.
Once they abandon the catastrophic American diet of refined carbohydrates for whole, unrefined food, they start to live again. It's one of the most rewarding experiences I've had the privilege of witnessing with thousands of my patients. You will lay the permanent groundwork for disease prevention. You will change your life, which, believe it or not, is even more important than looking good on the beach next summer. By following an individualized controlled carbohydrate nutritional approach that results in lower insulin production, people at high risk for chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, hypertension and diabetes will see a marked improvement in their 15 clinical parameters.
We will explore many of the studies referenced here throughout the later chapters of this book. Tim Wallerdeine doesn't think so. Blessed with three young children and a happy marriage, Tim started Atkins because he wanted to live to see those kids grow up. At 35 years old, Tim weighed pounds-far too much even for a strongly built six-footer. His blood pressure was borderline high; his triglycerides a risk factor for heart disease were through the roof.
The day after his wife's birthday-they went for a final carbohydrate blowout-Tim started Atkins. Within two weeks, he lost 21 pounds. After four weeks, 34 pounds. Tim's blood pressure normalized. His cholesterol, glucose and triglyceride levels went downand they've stayed down. The back and neck pain he used to suffer is gone. He exercises regularly today. And, as he emphatically believes, "I'm a better dad and husband.
My old phrase used to be, 'No, I'm not up for that. How about this: "Just the other night, we went out for ice cream to celebrate Ethan's fifth birthday. No, I didn't indulge, and I didn't feel deprived. I felt alive! The U. More than sixty percent of Americans are overweight or obese. Yet thirty years ago, it was less than forty percent. Are Americans exceptionally weakwilled? Or could it be that we've developed an extraordinary collective compulsion to become thicker from front to back and wider from side to side than the rest of humanity?
Please don't laugh. You know that isn't the answer. Why are we in the midst of an obesity epidemic? The obvious answer is that Americans don't eat the types of foods that are consistent with maintaining a normal healthy metabolism. Mankind is not geared to handle an abundance of refined carbohydrates. Losing weight is not a matter of counting calories; it is a matter of eating food your body is able to handle.
The more overweight a person is, the more certain is the presence of metabolic disturbance. It has to do with eating too many carbohydrates, which leads to metabolic problems such as insulin resistance and hyperinsulinism. Moreover, high insulin levels have been associated with a higher incidence of diabetes. Since Type II diabetics also have high insulin levels, the two epidemics, obesity and diabetes, can quite properly be considered a single epidemic.
The metabolic effect resulting from excess insulin production can be circumvented by controlling carbohydrates. When you control your intake of refined carbohydrates, you avoid the foods that cause you to be fat. This metabolic correction is so striking that some of you will be able to lose weight eating a higher number of calories than you've been eating on diets top-heavy in carbohydrates.
Diets high in carbohydrates are precisely what most overweight people don't need and can't become permanently slim on. Low-fat diets are, by their very nature, almost always high-carbohydrate diets and bring on the very problems that they were intended to protect us from. Our epidemics of diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure are very largely the results of our overconsumption of refined carbohydrates and its connection to hyperinsulinism.
The Atkins Nutritional Approach can and has corrected these serious risk factors associated with obesity. There has been sufficient evidence to make these assertions for more than thirty years now. But the heavy hand of government and such prominent organizations as the United States Department of Agriculture blanketed the nation with messages about low-fat dieting from the s to the present.
In fact, U. There is no doubt in my mind that this increase in refined carbohydrates has been spurred by the media attention given to the Food Guide Pyramid, created by the U. Department of Agriculture, which made six to eleven daily servings of these wheat derivatives the basis of the pyramid. I believe that the Food Guide Pyramid's recommendations have directly contributed to the twin epidemics of obesity and diabetes we now face in this country.
There are many examples in history of things we've thought were true that we eventually realized were wrong. Remember, we once were sure the earth was flat. But we learn, make progress and can correct our missteps.
Only during the last few years has a significant percentage of Americans begun to question what we've been taught about how to eat.
These studies also reveal that controlled carbohydrate diets reverse these problems in a very large percentage of the population. Many of these important studies are referenced throughout this book. If you've been overweight for very long, it's almost certain you have a blood sugar or a metabolic disorder. This means that refined carbohydrates-which include sugars, white flour products and junk foods that are such a whopping proportion of the American diet-are slow poison to you.
Those foods are bad for your health, bad for your energy level, bad for your mental state, bad for your figure. Bad for your career prospects, bad for your sex life, bad for 17 your digestion, bad for your blood chemistry, bad for your heart. What I'm saying is that they're bad. I believe that most of the overweight people in the world are carbohydrate sensitive. Often they're true carbohydrate addicts. They need a metabolic, controlled carbohydrate solution, not a low-fat one.
When I wrote the first edition of this book in , I was hotly indignant over the dietary guidelines that I felt were ruining people's lives. I was very critical of some of the individuals who proposed low-fat weight loss programs, and I apologize, because many of them were sincere in their efforts to help people. But that doesn't mean there isn't a more effective, healthy alternative to the low-fat diet. Today there is an ever-increasing number of medical practitioners who recognize the health benefits of controlled carbohydrate nutrition.
But I am not satisfied, and neither should you be, with those practitioners who fail to see that the truly deadly component of American eating is the junk food culture in which we're all brought up. All this discussion about insulin levels, blood sugar and metabolism may seem complicated to you right now. In the, next few chapters I'll tell you everything you need to know. Then you'll begin to understand why the Atkins Nutritional Approach produces healthy weight loss.
This program includes foods that leave you feeling much more full and satisfied. On most diets you'll be counting calories. When you do Atkins there's no need for that. On most diets you'll never stop eating addictive high carbohydrate foods. When you do Atkins, you'll quickly learn how to overcome your addictions.
On most diets you won't learn how to make a gradual transition to a lifetime maintenance plan. After reading this book, you'll learn how to develop a healthy way to eat that will feel comfortable and natural enough to adopt for good.
You know what I'm going to remind you of next. The Atkins Nutritional Approach is not a "diet. It's a way of eating for the rest of your healthy life. Most obesity is the result of metabolic disturbances, not over consumption of fat. Studies consistently show that sugar, refined white flour and junk foods are bad for your health, your energy level, your mental state and your figure.
Low-fat diets are in effect high-carbohydrate diets and bring on the very problems that they were intended to protect us from. By doing Atkins you will control your weight, achieve good health and help prevent disease. The Atkins Nutritional Approach is composed of protein and fat, both essential to the human body, plus controlled quantities of the most nutrient-dense carbohydrates, primarily in the form of vegetables. Proteincomplex chains of amino acids-is the basic building block of life and essential to almost every chemical reaction in the human body.
Food rich in protein includes meat, fish, fowl, eggs-most of which contain almost no carbohydrates-and cheese, nuts, and seeds. Many vegetables are also well supplied, but unlike animal foods, don't contain all the essential amino acids.
Fat provides glycerol and essential fatty acids, which the body cannot make. The thirty-yearlong campaign against dietary fat is as misguided as it is futile. Fat is found in meat, fish, fowl, dairy products and the oils derived from nuts and seeds and a few vegetables such as avocados.
Oils extracted from these foods represent one hundred percent fat and contain no carbohydrates. Carbohydrate includes sugars and starches that are chains of sugar molecules. Although carbohydrate provides the quickest source of energy, we eat much more of it, by far, than our body needs to be healthy. Vegetables do contain some carbohydrates, but they also contain a wide and wondrous variety of vitamins and minerals. However, you can eat plenty of vegetables with high concentrations of beneficial nutrients and still control your carbs.
On the other hand, carbohydrates such as those in sugar and white flour contain almost nothing that your body needs in large quantities. Let's start with a couple of definitions. First, a calorie is simply a unit of energy-precisely the amount of heat needed to raise I gram of water 1 degree Celsius at sea level.
Second, metabolism is the sum of the physical and chemical processes by which food is transformed into energy. Now let's move on to some concepts and misconceptions. It is true that gaining weight results from taking in more calories than you expend. But excess calories certainly cause you to pile on the pounds-and this is a gigantic "but"-only when you are eating a lot of carbohydrate along with fat. So it's time to abandon the assumption that the only way to lose weight is to strictly control your intake of calories.
Many people think that only one thing matters: how many calories you take in and use up. It's not that simple. When you follow a controlled carbohydrate approach, you get what I call a "metabolic advantage. When you control carbohydrate consumption sufficiently, your body will switch from burning glucose derived from carbohydrate to burning primarily fat for energy. This means you could eat, say, 2, calories and still begin losing pounds and inches.
In contrast, if you were consuming 2, calories on a low-fat diet, you might not lose weight, and you might actually gain weight. The metabolic advantage is that burning fat takes more energy so you expend more calories.
And if you eat fewer calories-as many Atkins people do because their appetite is usually diminished-you'll likely lose weight even faster. So it's not that calories don't count, it's just that you will burn more of them, with less hunger, when your body is operating on a fat-based metabolism. When I published the first edition of this book ten years ago, that claim was quite controversial.
Today it is galloping into acceptance among scientists who study the human metabolism. Glance through the references listed at the back of this book and you will see the numerous studies and articles published in the past six years.
And, we will deal with the metabolic advantage in greater detail in Chapter 7. Here are six reasons why doing Atkins works: 1. As I've just said, it mobilizes more fat for use as energy than any diet you have ever encountered.
In a clinical setting and countless testimonials, Atkins has repeatedly been 20 proven to take off more fat than other programs when an equal number of calories is consumed. This incredible advantage has been researched and validated.
The controlled carbohydrate nutritional approach is not one of deprivation. Sheer hunger is the main reason for the failure of most weight loss efforts. A lifetime eating plan needs to be palatable, pleasant and filling. You will have to abandon sugar and other refined carbohydrates such as white flour. But most people find that once they shake off the sugar addiction, they feel no strong desire to go back to it.
For them, a nutritional approach that allows them to eat a vast variety of meat and fish and salads and vegetables prepared in the most appetizing manner-i. Eating Atkins-style is a food lover's dream come true-luxurious, healthy and varied. Atkins is the easiest way to maintain weight loss. So when you go back to your former way of eating, the pounds return with astonishing speed because you are unprepared for maintenance.
There are sound physiological reasons for this. When you restrict the number of calories you eat, your metabolism shifts into a survival mode, meaning it slows down to conserve energy. When you go back to a higher-calorie diet-as you inevitably must-your body is still in its mode of burning calories slowly. So it becomes extremely hard to continue or maintain weight loss.
Success at maintaining weight loss is the great plus while doing Atkins. What most people know about it is that you can usually lose a lot of weight rapidly. And you probably can. But the key point is that the weight doesn't return. One of the reasons is that it doesn't create a big difference in the number of calories you eat during the weight loss and weight maintenance phases.
The Atkins Nutritional Approach is actually a continuum of four phases that transition seamlessly from one to the next. Phase 1, known as Induction, crashes you through most weight loss barriers and will generally introduce even the most metabolically resistant person to weight reduction. Phase 3, Pre-Maintenance, eases you toward adopting permanently a new, healthier way of eating that, with a modest degree of diligence on your part, will allow you to stay slim forever.
Phase 4, Lifetime Maintenance, is the game plan that will keep those banished pounds at bay for the rest of your days. Let me state one crucial fact that you should always keep in mind: For people who comply with all four phases of Atkins, failure to maintain weight loss is very rare.
