After being told for years to eat a low-fat, high-carbohydrate "balanced" diet, Americans are now the fattest people on Earth, and getting fatter every year! The occurrences of adult-onset diabetes is
also increasing. We now know, because research has shown, that fat is not the enemy -- carbohydrates are.
-On a low-carb diet, you can eat until you're full, as long as you eat only allowed foods
. Allowed foods are meats, fish, poultry, eggs, and cheese, plus a limited amount of green vegetables.
-Realizing that textbook definitions of ˇ§essentialˇ¨ can be taken out of context to promote a

The basic premise of all low carb diet plans is this: EATING FAT does NOT make us fat! Rather, eating an over-abundance of processed carbohydrates (as in the normal American diet) is what causes us to
become obese and to suffer from all kinds of obesity-related diseases. While plans differ in the amount and type of carbs "allowed" - from as low as 20g per day in the "Induction Phase" of the Atkins
Diet to quite a bit more but only from very whole grain, low glycemic carbs in the SugarBusters Diet, to somewhere in between in the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet - keeping the amount of carbohydrates ea

The core concept of The Atkins Diet is Dr. Atkins' theory that over-consumption of and hypersensitivity to carbohydrates is the root of our problem with being overweight. The principle he bases his pl
an on says that it is the way your body processes the carbohydrates you eat -- not how much fat you eat -- that causes you to gain weight.
-Atkins says that many overweight people may be "insulin
resistant," that is, the cells that convert carbohydrates into glucose (which becomes energy) do not work correctly. While most diet experts say that not everyone who has a weight problem is insulin r
esistant, Atkins says it is more likely than not.
