Adkins Diet - The 4 Phases,hogan vendita

The Adkins diet has been hot for a long time. Everyday people are choosing it as their weight loss method and every day people lose weight because of it. Some people follow it casually by trying to drop most carbohydrates and sugar from their diet, while others follow the plan the way it was meant to be followed.

The Adkins diet has 4 phases. These phases are induction, ongoing weight loss, pre-maintenance, and lifetime maintenance. The amount of carbohydrates and food that you can eat changes with each phase. Let's take a closer look at how the phases of the Adkins diet work.

Induction is the first phase of the Adkins diet. During induction you're only allowed 20 grams of Net Carbs each day. Food selection is incredibly limited to mainly protein, salad greens, and non-starchy vegetables. In this phase, your body detoxes from all of the sugar and protein that it's used to. Some people claim they gain increased energy through this phase,mbt schuhe, while others report fatigue while the body adjusts to switching from carbohydrate burning to fat burning.

The next phase is ongoing weight loss,hogan vendita, also know as OWL. During OWL you increase your carbohydrate intake by reintroducing a larger array of foods back into your diet. Each week you'll gradually increase the amount of carbohydrates that you eat until your weight loss stops. At that point, you'll cut back 5 grams of carbohydrates and stick to that many carbohydrates per day for the rest of your OWL phase. Though switching from induction to OWL will decrease the speed at which you lose weight,chaussures christian louboutin, you will still see consistent weight loss from week to week.

When you are within 5 to 10 pounds away from your weight loss goal,mbt schuhe, you'll move to pre-maintenance phase. With this phase you'll add an additional 10 grams of carbs back to your diet weekly until your weight loss almost plateaus. You still want to be losing weight at this point, but the weight you lose will be incredibly slow and almost unperceivable. Like with the previous phase, you'll be reintroducing more food choices to your diet. By switching over to this phase, you will lose your last 5 to 10 pounds very slowly while also training your body for the next and final stage, the way you'll be eating for the rest of your life to maintain your weight.

The last phase of the Adkins diet is lifetime maintenance. Your diet doesn't change much from phase three to phase four. Lifetime maintenance phase remains a low carb diet, though less restrictive than in the beginning, it's still a low carb diet and you will have to adhere to it for the rest of your life to maintain your weight loss through Adkins.
