It’s supposed to leave the body steadily fueled, with constant energy, less cravings, and weight loss. ]]> 2018-03-12 16:56:33 UTC https://padlet.com/pearceme19/theatkinsdiet/wish/240990989 Typical Amount of Weight Loss? reaganj19 https://padlet.com/pearceme19/theatkinsdiet/wish/240991194 About 1.5- 2 pounds in a week and 50-60+ pounds in a year]]> 2018-03-12 16:56:53 UTC https://padlet.com/pearceme19/theatkinsdiet/wish/240991194 What are some positive aspects of the diet? pearceme19 https://padlet.com/pearceme19/theatkinsdiet/wish/240991434 It includes a hearty eating plan, You don’t need to count calories, quick weight loss, readily accessible in many stores and convenient to pick up, and Atkins resources are widely available.]]> 2018-03-12 16:57:18 UTC https://padlet.com/pearceme19/theatkinsdiet/wish/240991434 What are some negative aspects of the diet? pearceme19 https://padlet.com/pearceme19/theatkinsdiet/wish/240991951 Possible weight regain, the diet is hard to strictly follow, the tedious process of counting carbs, possible binging, reduces fruit and grain intake, decreased energy (due to low carbohydrates), and side effects as a result of dietary changes.]]> 2018-03-12 16:58:07 UTC https://padlet.com/pearceme19/theatkinsdiet/wish/240991951 Is there any exercise/fitness component to this diet? If so what? pearceme19 https://padlet.com/pearceme19/theatkinsdiet/wish/240992448 Exercise is not needed to lose weight on the Atkins diet, but Atkins claims it is beneficial to work out as your increased energy and steady metabolism on the diet will help you lose more calories. ]]> 2018-03-12 16:58:56 UTC https://padlet.com/pearceme19/theatkinsdiet/wish/240992448 Jenna's Opinion On Atkins: pearceme19 https://padlet.com/pearceme19/theatkinsdiet/wish/240992899 I think the Atkins Diet is not beneficial to many. Although it is a fast way to lose weight, it cuts out carbohydrates, which is a large part of the diet. It leaves you with less energy, making it harder for you to function and go throughout your day. It also leads to health side effects which can leave you feeling sick from the diet changes. It also reduces other food groups eaten which is not a healthy way to diet. Although it helps with weight loss, the cons outweigh the benefits of the diet and I wouldn’t recommend going on this diet to lose weight.]]> 2018-03-12 16:59:42 UTC https://padlet.com/pearceme19/theatkinsdiet/wish/240992899 Megan's Opinion On Atkins: pearceme19 https://padlet.com/pearceme19/theatkinsdiet/wish/240993373 I feel as though the Atkins Diet is not worth the amount of work. Although you are not counting calories, you have to count carbs, watch out for ‘hidden carbs’ and monitor blood-sugar levels closely. It also relies on meals with high protein, which also means that meals are high in fat, so it increases cholesterol and the risk for heart disease. The weight is also not proven to stay off. While some may experience rapid weight loss, they often regain the weight back in less than a year or so. To me, the Atkins diet does not seem worth the effort and I would rather lose weight the healthier way.]]> 2018-03-12 17:00:29 UTC https://padlet.com/pearceme19/theatkinsdiet/wish/240993373 Meal Plan: pearceme19 https://padlet.com/pearceme19/theatkinsdiet/wish/240994200 Breakfast: Atkins Meal Strawberry Almond Bar
