The Atkins Primary Principle for Weight Loss
Both carbohydrate and fat provide fuel for the
body’s energy needs. Carbohydrate is the first fuel to be metabolized. However, when
the intake
of digestible carbohydrates is sufficiently restricted (without caloric restriction), the
body converts from the primary metabolic pathway of burning carbohydrate to burning fat as
its main energy source. This
results in weight loss.

can achieve it!! I did. The Atkins Diet Primary Principle for Weight Loss: Both
carbohydrate and fat provide fuel for the body’s energy needs. Carbohydrate is the
first fuel to be metabolized. However, when the intake of digestible carbohydrates is
sufficiently restricted (without caloric restriction), the body converts from the primary
metabolic pathway of burning carbohydrate to burning fat as its main energy source. This
results in weight loss and that is the purpose of the Atkins Diet. When sufficient glucose
from CHO is not available for energy, ketones derived from fat are used as energy. When
you burn CHO for energy you store the excess CHO as fat, however when you burn fat for
energy fat is less likely to be stored. You can consume more calories and lose more weight
on a low carbohydrate Atkins diet than on a low fat diet. Appetite and cravings are
reduced at low levels of carbohydrate consumption. Controlling carbohydrate consumption
has been shown to restrict caloric intake. As the ratio of fat to carbohydrate increases,
the greater the weight loss. Initial fluid loss is the result of 3 parts water being
excreted to every one part CHO being replaced with fat. Additional weight loss results
from fat-burning.

carbohydrate foods is a must for anyone who is serious about following a low carbohydrate
diet, such as the Atkins Diet. These low carbohydrate diets have attracted a lot of
attention recently due to to their proven track record of weight loss and other health
benefits. A key to making these diets work is an understanding of what foods to avoid and
what foods are acceptable. As a general rule, foods that contain grain or sugar are loaded
with carbohydrates. The bad news is that high carbohydrate foods include bread, pasta,
cereal, candy and pastry. The good news is that low carbohydrate foods include bacon,
eggs, steak, most meats, fish, nuts, salad and vegetables. You can lose weight eating
steak and eggs!

Low carb New
Zealand
The problem in New Zealand is little or no awareness of the carbohydrate content of most
food. I have put together this website for NZ’ers and hope to be able to pool
resources and build up comprehensive information of Low Carb Eating in New Zealand. There
is much published on the Internet about low carb but little that pertains to products
available in NZ. In the US they organise Cruises with total low carb fare, some airlines
have low carb option for food, catering firms do same. Low Carb has implications for
weight loss, diabetes, hypoglycemia, heart, yeast infections and more at the turn of the
century there was little or no processed food and these diseases were unknown. An
interesting fact I discovered is that sugar has no nutritional value.
