Was ist die Atkins-Diät?

About three decades back, I tried the Atkins-Diät for losing weight. The Atkins Diet is a really low-carb, higher protein regimen. I did abnehmen- fast 60 Pfund. Ich fühlte mich nicht hungrig - tatsächlich verlor mein ganzer Körper jegliches Verlangen nach Mahlzeiten, einschließlich "Mundlust" und "Heißhunger", weil ich einer anderen schlechten Angewohnheit frönte, die ich letztes Jahr aufgegeben hatte.

Was geschieht hier?

Additionally, the acid reflux which was plaguing me for a couple of years was gone after only a couple weeks of following the diet. I followed the diet to the letter, not cheating, going through the two week”induction” period, of very low Kohlenhydrate intake (nearly NO carb intake, really), and tested my urine with the keto sticks each morning, first things, to be certain I was keeping ketosis. I got both the simple book about the diet and the Atkins Cookbook, and learned how to make some delicious food.

Ich habe auch die Atkins-Shake-Mischungen und Shakes aus der Dose verwendet, wenn ich morgens bei der Arbeit war und schnell etwas runterschlucken musste. Frühstück. The wonderful thing was that the weight came off where I had off it the most- in my stomach and Unterleib. Many experts say that people who “carry” their extra weight in the belly are more prone to Diabetes than individuals that are equally obese, but with an even distribution of extra poundage within the body. I was wearing clothes I had not worn in a couple of years. I had been on this”amazing diet”, as my disapproving physician called it, for approximately five months. I looked great and did not feel hungry.

Der Schmerz

What stopped me from continuing was pain- sharp, intense pain in my kidneys which began suddenly one day. I discovered that kidney failure was a hazard of following this diet. I ceased, and the pounds came back with a vengeance- probably gained back that I’d lost. Despite taking a multi-vitamin and a lot of different supplements daily, I became deficient in certain phytonutrients, such as Vitamin C.

The past couple of months I had been following the diet, I had no Immunsystem, and caught colds easily. I also have a little lump in my left leg- if it’s a little gout or something else from the diet, I do not understand. But the significant thing was that the extreme pain in my kidneys, which induced me to stop instantly. I’m still trying to find the diet program that is right for me.

Schlusswort

Over time, I’ve counted calories, done Weight Watchers ( 3 times), just plain went hungry, and still have not found a permanent solution. I believe restricting carbs was the ideal path for me, but not as badly or not for so long a time period. Dottye is a Realtor in Central Florida, and a wife, mother and grandma.
