So Italian Mama - What are You doing on the Atkins Diet?
So Italian Mama! What are You doing on the Atkins Diet? Cheating! For sure! Joked one respondent in a recent Nutritional Research Council Survey conducted to test responses to a newly developed meal replacement shake. As a prime diet choice low-carb diets proved to be a favorite, but, few people enjoyed giving up their pasta, pizzas and breadsticks for an extended period of time.
”I liked that I lost weight when I gave up carbs on the Atkins diet, but cutting carbs is too hard. My favorite food is pasta,” said one respondent.
The survey revealed that many dieters simply run out of energy and feel tired and hungry throughout the day, plus they get really cranky. “So cheating on your diet is probably mandatory for peace to prevail,” she added. In fact cheating on your diet is almost a national pastime. Never before have so many people been eating so little and not losing any weight.
According to a study conducted by NPD Group – about 10 million people in the U.S. are on a low-carb diet. But only 2.5 million are actually succeeding in keeping their carbs down. Some simply overeat on low-carb foods “forgetting” that it is the total amount of carbs consumed – not the type of carbs. It seems that if your handful of carbs could just “last a little longer”, things would be looking a lot better.
Baseline Nutritionals, who sponsored the NRC survey, developed a meal replacement shake which handles the problem of “not enough carbs” by creating a nutritional formula based on slow release carbohydrates. That is carbohydrates that break down over an extended period of time giving between four and six hours of energy.
Since your body can only use glycogen, primarily derived from carbohydrates as energy, everything must get broken down to this first. Glycogen is the simplest from of sugar in your blood. When you are hungry, you find it hard to think and work because you are running out of glucose. A slow-release carbohydrate which takes longer to break down, supplies the body with sustained energy.
Baseline Nutritionals’ meal replacement shake handles the carbo cravings. How? The slow release of carbohydrates keeps you energized and helps even out your body’s sugar swings so that you don’t feel tired and hungry throughout the day.
In fact, eating several times a day is part of the plan too. The trademarked Accelerator Diet consists of several small meals a day. You start with a morning drink of 50% fresh juice, 25% organic aloe juice, and 25% water together with a small portion of nuts – 5 almonds and 4 walnut halves.
Come midday, you have one tablespoon flax oil with one tablespoon organic cottage cheese, or two tablespoons flax seeds ground up and mixed with one cup diluted juice.
Then at 4:30 you drink a large 20 oz shake, using two tablespoons Accelerator (TM) Weight Loss Shake, ½ banana and a handful of frozen organic strawberries or raspberries, ½ cup pineapple coconut juice and one cup of water.
At 6:00 pm you have a diluted juice with one tablespoon psyllium powder, and then at 8:00 pm a delicious fresh apple.
This diet is maintained for two days, and on day three you can indulge yourself eating a normal diet of good proteins and vegetables, still avoiding refined grains, sugars and starches. Which still means no pasta unless you make yourself a spinach variety! But the pasta cravings will be tempered.
You can continue the diet with two more juice days followed by two days of “good protein and veggie” days to maximize the weight loss.
The secret of this diet shake is the slow release carbohydrates, which prevent the spike in blood sugar and insulin levels. The body does not store fat and you get sustained energy over a prolonged period of time.
