The Atkins Diet Is not For Everyone
The Atkin's Diet is the brainchild of Edward Atkins but has its
antecedents in the thinking of one Dr. Banting as long ago as
1863. This eating program advocates upping protein intake and
decreasing, if not eliminating, carbohydrate
consumption. This advice flies in the face of nutritional
hinking as advocated by the US Department of Agriculture's Food
Guide Pyramid. The US Government revised some of its
recommendations by updating the "Pyramid" in 2005,but still
insists that carbohydrates like bread, pasta and potatoes
provide 20% of the calories in the US diet. The Atkins advocacy
to the contrary has fuelled a lot of controversy, with some
medical experts branding the "Atkins Diet" as downright
dangerous. A recent editorial in prestigious "Nature" Magazine
outlines the problem. The carbs break down to form sugars and
these can pose a problem for people with high triglyceride
levels, which is in itself a marker for insulin resistance. It
is people in this category who will benefit and lose weight
thanks to the Atkins Diet. That means the weight loss program is
not ideally suited for everybody. Insulin resistance is
frequently a precursor to late onset diabetes and thanks to poor
eating habits, an ever-increasing percentage of the Nation's
population enters this category. A recent study carried out by
Manny Noakes and Peter Clifton of the Australian Commonwealth
Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO) adds
weight to this swelling body of evidence. They took
100
overweight women, half of whom were placed on a high
protein-eating regime and the other half followed a high
carbohydrate eating management system. The results were
surprising. Both groups lost the same amount of weight on
average, but once again the study showed it was those who
exhibited signs of insulin resistance who benefited the most
from eating a diet mainly comprising protein. How do you know
you are insulin resistant? You can of course have it checked out
by a health care professional but an invariable tell tale sign
is the tendency to put weight on in the stomach area. So if you
are developing a bulging belly, it might make sense to cut back
on your carbs.
All this makes perfect sense to Chicago based Medical
practitioner Dr. Joe Mercola; the author of the "No Grains Cook
Book". Dr Mercola emphasizes the growing problem of a population
that staggers increasingly towards diabetes, an illness that is
growing in epidemic proportions. To counter this he suggests
ways to eliminate grains and other carbs from the daily diet and
strive towards fitness. He has had success by turning diabetes
around by merely changing the diet.
Oh, yes there is one more thing about which all these
authorities agree and that is the need to take more exercise.
That is always a sure fire way to reduce the flab and insulin
resistance to boot!
