Diabetic Nutrition News, Comparing Popular Diets

Although nowhere near as popular as they were in the 90's when the Atkins diet was seemingly omnipresent, low-carbohydrate ketogenic diets are still very highly regarded in many circles as effective, maintainable weight loss diets. Below are a few tips to maximize your success on a ketogenic diet.

After your base is developed, you can do something called high intensity interval training. This would be a series of 30, 60 or 90 second sprint bursts followed by a walking or jogging at a recovery rate until your heart rate gets back down to about 120 beats per minute. This seems to be about the most effective way and the fastest way for most people.

The result of all of this is that your body is now trained to burn that extra fat and you can finally plan the return (or arrival) of your six pack abs. Go jump for joy, then come back to read the rest.

The maker of this diet, Dr. Atkins also proposed that there is a need for a minimal intake of carbohydrates. This actually makes our bodies to use stored carbohydrates-glycogen. This significantly reduces our accumulated carbohydrates that automatically lead to weight loss.

Ketosis can be achieved by eating very little carbohydrates ( below 20 - 30 grams) for several weeks, this leads to a state of ketosis. If there is very little carbohydrate in the diet, the liver converts fat into fatty acids and ketone bodies. The ketone bodies pass into the brain and replace glucose as an energy source. You don't want to be eating cheese and burgers constantly.

When people think of the Atkins diet they think of endlessly eating greasy burgers and cheese. This is rubbish. Diets low in carbohydrates and high in fat and protein are very beneficial for weight loss and over all health.

Can you use machines in a gym or at home? The machine based cardio programs are sometimes a better choice if you have injuries because there will be less body impact stress on your body. And it really doesn't matter what piece. My only advice is if you're going to use machines in the gym, alternate between the different types. Maybe the step mill one day, rower the next, seated recumbent bike position, maybe even a spin class, or jogging on the treadmill. So try to break it up so that you don't do the same type all the time and give your body different movement patterns to adjust to while preventing repetitive strain.

The diet is similar to a low carb diet, but it has a fancy name. It is called a cyclical [keto diet plan] (CKD). Now I realize that people have a tendency to stray from diets, so here is the diet... Kapish?

The pros to this diet is simple enough to see: you don't need abstain from any food, even cheesecake. The cons however, is that you'll find yourself many times already at your quota halfway through the day. It's really more of a gimmick of advertising to say you can eat what you want with these diets. Sure you can have that Baconator with supersize fries, but that's it... for the next 3 days! I may have exaggerated just a little right there, but I've seen friends on these diets do almost that.

Now, it's workout time, what do ya do? Well, remember, your diet has to always fit your activity. So, you have to take in enough carbohydrates to get through your workout (think about intensity and the length of time you will be training), but not so many carbohydrates you kick your body out of ketosis (that whole deal where your body is burning fat as an energy source). Your complex carbohydrates from breakfast and lunch may work fine, but, if you are doing high intensity training, you may want to try eating 2 to 4 glucose tabs while working out. These tabs are made of Dextrose and are immediately absorbed and will be used immediately for energy to help you get through your workout.
