Question 1

what is a good meal plan for the atkins diet phase one?

Accepted Answer

This is covered well: In all the atkins books.  You can follow my tips for dinners on low carb diets, but they are not phase one!  remember, phase one virtually eliminates most carbs to obtain a dietetic ketosis!

Question 2

what indian meals are recommended for atkins diet?

Accepted Answer

Very hard!: Nan, or indian bread is good, but forbidden.  Indian diets are heavy into rice, also to be avoided. Curries without rice, but with lamb, or chicken, and bell peppers, onions are very good.  Virtually all vegetables are good as well.  Sweet deserts, bread, and rice need be avoided.  This as made it difficult for many of my indian patients!

Question 3

which one will you recommend for diet? either atkins diet or military diet in order to lose 10 pounds in a week?

10 pounds a week: Despite what you hear on the TV, that is too much to lose in a week.
There are many articles available about diet and weight control. Take your time reading them and let me know if you still have concerns.

Question 4

can you tell me how much weight should i lose on induction phase of atkins diet?

Accepted Answer

3-10lbs: Most people average 5-6 pounds.  The usual range is 3-10 pounds. Make sure your urine test strips indicate ketosis!

Question 5

what effect can a lactulose have on persons following the atkins diet plan?

Accepted Answer

Lactulose: Lactulose is a milk sugar, the atkins diet, or similar low or no carbohydrate diets recommend against dairy products as they contain fat and sugar. The point of the early portion of the diet is to use a less efficient metabolic pathway that burns fat or protein only.  Eating sugars and fats may push you out of the ketotic metabolism into normal metabolism... So you would be thwarting the diet.

Question 6

are sugar-free cookies and other sweet snacks okay to eat during the induction phase of the atkins diet?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: Here is the rule you wanna abide by: eat no more than 20 grams a day of net carbs, 12 to 15 grams of them as foundation vegetables. This means you can eat approximately six loosely packed cups of salad and two cups of cooked vegetables per day. Remember, carb counts of various vegetables vary, so be sure to check them. So you can dedicate 5 extra grams of carbs to anything!

Question 8

how can the atkins diet work?

Accepted Answer

Extremely low: carb intake makes a diet ketogenic.

Question 9

can the atkins diet really work?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely, but...: They work very well for people with mesomorphic, android, (methyltestosterone) or "apple, " body types. These people have relatively high waists and carry weight on the torso.  These people are much more prone to cholesterol, blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease issues.  I believe all apples with these issues should be on this diet.  But for "pears, " or people with gynecoid builds, little weight lossoccurs!

Question 10

how can i go about the atkins diet?

Exam first.: Before going hog wild into the Atkin's diet program, you might want to have your physician evaluate your health status first. Don't set yourself for failure before you even start.
