Description
xThe Atkins diet is a low-carb diet that is usually recommended for weight loss, or, rather, fat mass loss.
Proponents of this diet claim that you can lose weight by eating as much protein and fat as you like if you avoid foods high in carbohydrates.
Remember that carbohydrates are foods such as bread, pasta, sweets, but also carbonated drinks with added sugar, alcohol. On the other hand, fruits and vegetables are also carbohydrates to all intents and purposes, even if their effect is decidedly different from what the previous carbohydrates have. This is due to factors called Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load, which are discussed in the appropriate chapters at the end of the book.
These are easily understandable concepts that we need to know in order to carry out the diet correctly. Since the early 2000s, many studies have shown that low-carbs diets, without the need to count calories, are effective for fat loss and can lead to various health improvements .
The Atkins diet was originally promoted by Dr. Robert C. Atkins, who wrote a best-seller about it in 1972. Since then, people all over the world have used the Atkins diet and many more books have been written about it.
The diet was initially considered unhealthy, largely due to its high saturated fat content. Today, the effect of saturated fat on health and heart disease, in particular, is a topic of debate among researchers.
THE SATURATED FATS DEBATE Many studies show that saturated fat consumption can increase LDL (bad) cholesterol, which is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease .
A recent review conducted by the American Heart Association on the Impact of Saturated Fats on Heart Diseases concluded that replacing saturated fat with polyunsaturated fat can help reduce cardiovascular disease by about 30 percent--note3--. Some reviews also suggest that replacing saturated fat in the diet with polyunsaturated fat reduces the risk of cardiovascular events, such as heart attacks and strokes In the specific chapter we talk about the various types of fats to facilitate the correct choices.
However, other reviews of the literature show no association between reducing saturated fat intake and reducing the risk of developing or dying from cardiovascular disease
