Designed to catapult your body into a state of fat meltdown, Dr. Atkins's
diet has taken America by storm.
It targets insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. The
bodies of most overeaters are continually in a state of hyperinsulinism;
their bodies are so adept at releasing insulin to help convert excess
carbohydrates to fat that there's always too much of the hormone circulating
through the body.
This puts the body into a bind; it always wants to store fat. Even when
people with hyperinsulinism try to lose weight--especially when they cut
fat but increase carbohydrate consumption--their efforts will fail. This
is why Dr. Atkins refers to insulin as "the fat-producing hormone."
Dr. Atkins's diet is extremely low in carbohydrates, which helps
to regulate insulin production and decrease circulating insulin; less
insulin soon results in less fat storage and fewer food cravings.
The diet is far from torturous, though--those who've tried it attest
that hunger is not a part of this plan. Ninety percent of Dr. Atkins's
patients--more than 25,000 of them--have experienced dramatic weight loss.
The book includes recipes for such luscious, low-carb dishes as
lobster soup, zabaglione, sea bass, and blueberry ice cream, and even
includes a carbohydrate gram counter and menus.
