Food is a very personal issue and it affects us on so many levels. We have belief systems around food, emotional ties and physical addictions. It is hard to break through those to get to the underlying fat issues. I myself thought of myself as pretty knowledgeable about nutrition. It has always interested me and I read many books on it. But I was totally oblivious to how bad carbohydrates can be. I was struggling with weight issues but I thought that I only needed to control my calorie intake. But it was hard when I was constantly hungry. I ate a lot of fruit thinking that it was good low calorie snacks. But little did I know that it was only fuelling my hunger.

Late one night I stumbled onto this video that changed my view on the Atkins Diet. Like many people, my idea on Atkins was that it was pseudo science. It could not possibly be true!

I started to search and found more and more Atkins and Low Carb success stories. Stories of great weight losses and health gains. I read Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution and was astounded at the research to back up the health benefits of Low Carb eating.

There are people that do not succeed at this diet. But there are many that do. It does not become a diet, but a way of living. It is a satisfying diet. The Atkins diet originally removes a lot of carbohydrates in the induction phase but then re-introduces them in stages. There are many recipes that can simulate foods like breads and desserts. It is a way of life.
