7 Day 'Atkind' Lower Carb Diet

It’s been a long time coming, but Bodychef’s Low-carb plan is already here! There are loads of reasons to choose to follow a low carb plan, but most importantly, reducing the amount of carbohydrates you consume will drastically reduce your total calorie intake, and will also encourage your body to turn the excess glycogen stored in your muscles and liver into water, making for rapid weight loss!

Many people might find themselves thinking of the well known and very controversial Atkins diet when they think of low carbohydrate diets. This diet became rather notorious when in advocating severe carbohydrate restrictions (between 10-20 grams per day), it also ended up restricting the intake of vital nutrients, making the followers often become very unwell.

It wasn’t particularly good at keeping the weight off either- as soon as carbohydrates were reintroduced, ketosis (the process of burning fat for fuel) stopped, insulin was stimulated, and cravings for carbs come back with a vengeance! Often, you could find yourself gaining back all the weight lost on the Atkins diet shortly after stopping (if not more!). And if this wasn’t bad enough, the ketosis it induced also caused halitosis! Altogether not something we wanted to imitate to closely…

As such, the Bodychef’s low carb plan is a much more moderate version of the Atkins diet, including 50-100 grams of the best carbohydrates a day. The carbohydrate food group contains within it lots of other good carbs, such as fruits and vegetables, whole grains and dairy. So it’s important to eat some carbs to maintain a healthy diet. We’ve selected the best and left out the rest, making for a low carb weight loss diet which contains all the vital nutrients you’ll need and falls within the nutritional guidelines for a healthy lifestyle.
