Atkins Diet: Temptation, Visualization, Success… Oh My!
or What does goal mean to you? Discovering how to resist temptation will be required feat in any diet, but forunately Atkins Diet and ketosis actually gives the dieter the upper hand for the first time in my life. I detail how I resisted temptation: * Visualization of what goal means to you * Planning and Preparing for stressful or likely problem situations * Accountability
Is the Atkins diet heathy…or dangerous?
Atkins – good or bad?
Atkins Diet Misconceptions: Kidney Stones Inevitable?
In another of Atkins Diet Misconception series, I deal with the question of kidney stones or “does the Atkins Diet impair kidney function?” First, if you have damaged kidney function already due to Chronic Kidney Disease, Metabolic disorder, or impaired kidney function, it is recommended that you do not try the Atkins Diet. There is sizable water intake on this diet, and you should follow your doctor’s orders. For everyone else, it has been proved more than once that high protein (or medium protein in the case of Atkins) is safe for kidney function. Those that rail against it have been doctors with bias (PCRM (PETA) related doctors or have relied on bad science studies where multiple items were changed at once. Studies supporting the idea of high protein being safe for HEALTHY people’s kidneys: www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov Dietary protein intake and renal function “”While protein restriction may be appropriate for treatment of existing kidney disease, we find no significant evidence for a detrimental effect of high protein intakes on kidney function in healthy persons after centuries of a high protein Western diet. … Rather, we found that habitual consumption of a high protein diet minimally affected hydration indices. … Therefore, claims that a high protein diet promotes dehydration or adversely “strains” the kidney remain speculative.” www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov March 2000 “Do regular high protein diets have potential health risks on kidney function in athletes?” To conclude …
Atkins Diet Misconceptions: Waning popularity or passing fad?
One of the constant comments is “didn’t low carb die off in 2004?” or “didn’t Atkins Nutrition go bankrupt?” The implication is that it was obviously a fad diet, and that all wise people know better now. Besides just simply being false comments, I have been seeing more subscribers lately than ever, and my humble video and blog have been receiving more views than ever. (Here are the results from 2009 videos – www.network-admin.net There are still numerous people doing the diet and many starting on a daily basis, and while perhaps it might not be as “hip” or cool as 2004, people doing Atkins now have better access to more low carb recipes, better support sites, and better communal atmosphere than back in 2004. A lot of the naysayers criticisms have been addressed or proven false since 2004 as well.
Atkins Diet & Exercise: Endurance Athletes & Electrolytes
In this third video of my exercise series, I detail one of the more important questions to those who exercise on the Atkins Diet — how to stay hydrated while exercise. The easy answer is drink water, but on a hot day while sweating that is not always the best answer as one loses key minerals, like Sodium, Potassium, and other electrolytes. Non-low carbers have it easy as they can turn to any readily available Electrolyte replacement drink, like Gatorade or Powerade. Even those that recognize the need for protein like Accelerade, combine with 4x as much carbohydrates than protein. Here is the home-made low carb Gatorade recipe: Artificial Sweetener equivalent of 10 tbs. sugar (5/8 cups or 120 grams) 3/4ths tsp Morton Lite salt (4.2 grams) 1 package of unsweetened Koolade mix for flavor 2 liters Water Commercial Low Carb Electrolyte Replacements: Tablets: Hammer Endurolytes – www.e-caps.com Succeed!

Kimkins Diet Scam Uncovered On FOX’s ‘The Morning Show’ #1
The Kimkins diet scandal received national exposure for the first time ever on FOX-TV’s “The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet” on Monday, November 12, 2007. Representing Kimkins was Jeannie Baitinger, the public relations spokesperson for the diet, and she made some rather stunning admissions about the weight loss scam her boss Heidi Diaz has been perpetrating. On the other side of the debate was Christin Sherburne and Deni Huttula, both of whom appeared in WOMAN’S WORLD magazine as Kimkins weight loss success stories. But they no longer subscribe to this dangerous diet that Christin describes as “Atkins meets anorexia.” You can learn more about Christin and her continuing weight loss journey at her blog: the-journey-on.blogspot.com You can also check out Deni’s personal weight loss journey blog as well openbench.blogspot.com And for FREE support in your weight loss efforts and your desire to live a healthy lifestyle, visit the following forum where Christin and Deni hang out www.lowcarbdiscussion.com

hCG diet Protocol treat suggestions. EVCO / MCT oil
WWW.HCGPROTOCOL.COM – low cost kits, collection of how to videos, sterile vials, Asher Harper Study, Pounds and Inches pdf. Check out hCG prices @ http Very low carb – also should work well for the Atkins diet. Apple cinnamon the way a guy would do it… and something a little creative with coconut oil. Assuming you believe the hcg protocol IS a ketogenic diet – you can assist your fat burn with medium chain triglycerides… (MCTs) MCT not only stokes the fat buring furnace, it might also make you feel fuller on less food. EXPERIMENT: test ketones right before eating a cluster – measure ketone level again 2-4 hours later. MY level is usually 40-80mg/dL higher after eating the treat… let’s not forget the antioxident properties of chocolate. Interestingly – MCT can not be converted into stored fat – in fact, the body treats it more like a carb and can use it for instant energy. Daily dose: 2-3 TEAspoonfuls of MCT oil // 2-3 TABLEspoonfuls of EVCO/VCO/CO. The best: MCT oil – $7.99 for 16oz @ www.vitacost.com (no affiliation, just a great site – check their prices on low cal protein and flavored stevias as well) The runner up: cold pressed extra virgin coconut oil (CPEVCO) Contenders: other types of EVCO, then VCO, then CO… For those tired of salad that enjoy oil and vinegar – you CAN use MCT or coconut oil as part of your salad dressing while on the hCG diet.. With any of the above mentioned coconut products – you don’t want to cook at too high a heat… as shown …
