    Atkins Diet For Diabetes

    As licensed naturopathic physician, Cathy Wong, said there is no weight- loss program that is entirely ideal for everyone. However, applying the Atkins diet for diabetes, especially those that have been diagnosed as type 2, is best suited for them.

    First of all, before following the Atkins diet for diabetes, there is a need for you to know if you have a blood sugar problem. Here is a checklist:
    - Feeling hungry in between meals?
    - Craving for sweets or starchy foods?
    - Thirsty all the time?
    - Urinating frequently?
    - Getting up in the morning with a headache?
    - Irritable when hungry?
    - Constantly exhausted?
    - Sleepy in the daytime?
    - Difficulty in concentrating?
    - Want to doze off after eating?

    There are also warning signs of this disease which includes extreme hunger or thirst, unexplained weight loss, blurry vision, hand or feet numbness, slow restoring of wounds and bladder infections. For the condition not to obtain worse, the individual should not restrict the consumption of refined sugar and some grains.

    Atkins diet for diabetes has meal plans at three dissimilar levels of carbohydrate consumption. It begins at 20 grams each day which builds up to 40 and 60 grams on the following. There are also various recommendations such as:
    - no limits on fat and protein
    - low- fat dairy items are not advised
    - no more than 4 ounces of cheese each day

    The benefit of the Atkins diet for diabetes is that it has been helping people to restrain carbohydrates which is the key to prevent and manage the sickness. It has supported those who are overweight that are addicted to dulcet munchies to decrease their risk factors. However, it has evolved into a controversy where a lot medical experts have questioned such theory due to the danger it brings.

    In the latest series of the Dr. Robert Atkins book, he incorporated dishes that only call for 15 to 20 minutes of preparation. It comprises of salmon en papillote with tomato- basil relish, grilled chicken & avocado salad with sweet mustard vinaigrette and Mexican chicken soup pork tenderloin with sweet & sour red cabbage. What a heavy and healthy meal.

    As mentioned earlier, there have been a lot critics of the Atkins diet for diabetes and here are what they have to say:
    - It advocates on consuming too much amounts of protein and fat when in fact, it eliminates many of water weight in the body.
    - It can strain the kidneys and liver that creates ketones. Even if ketones curb the appetite, it causes dizziness, bad breath and gas. It also contributes to harms in the heart and kidney.
    - It identifies all carbohydrates as bad including vegetable when it actually promotes vital vitamins and minerals.
    - It depletes glyogen stores which is a form of carbohydrate stored in the liver and muscle that is a primary fuel source for exercise.
