Question: Beside meat, what else can you have on the Atkins diet!?
Thanks!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
The true Atkins is pretty high in saturated fats, and not exactly the healthiest diet going!. Consider a modified Atkins, where you simply reduce the saturated fats!.

You can't eat a wide variety, but here are some things you can incorporate:

Meats, as you said - consider chicken, fish, turkey as your best choices!.

Eggs/egg whites/egg substitute products

Cheese - fat free or low fat is better!.

Sugar free jello - be sure it is not the one labeled as "fat free", but sugar free!. Contains zero carbs, and only 10 calories a serving!.

Very low calorie vegetables - lettuce, celery, broccoli etc

Waldenfarms salad dressings!. They are practically no calorie!. Most salad dressings do not fit the Atkins mode, Waldenfarms does!.

You could also make your own salad dressings with olive oil, vinegar and herbs!.

Dannon has a low carb yogurt - 3 carbs per container!. This fits the Atkins mode, and comes in peach and strawberry!. Avoid most all other yogurts while following the Atkins!.

If you eat only meat (especially red meat) for this diet then you will do more harm than good!. Before starting any diet research the benefits and pitfalls of it from every angle to be safe!.

The Atkins Diet is dangerous!. Protein is not a fuel source in our bodies!. CArbs and Fats are the main fuel sources, Carbs being the primary one!.

There are SIX ESSENTIAL components to nutrition, each with its own job to do!.

Carbs
Protein
fat
vitamins
minerals
water

I am going to cut and paste another answer I posted before for you to consider!.

1!. CARBOHYDRATES: this is your PRIMARY fuel source!. Thre are simple and complex carbs!. Fruits, veggies and whole grains are complex carbs!. They burn slowly!. Skip the honey nut cheerios, they are simple complex carbo's!.!.!.!. no good!. have a bowl of Oatmeal instead!. ANything refined or sugary!.!.!.dump it!. 55% - 65% of your daily dietary intake should be from carbohydrates!. But, choose them wisely

2> PROTEIN!. COntrary to popular belief, protein is NOT your body's primary food source!. Protein builds and repairs body tissues ( including you muscles)!. It transports neccessary fluid throughout your body!. It creates enzymes and hormones required for a healthy body!. 10%-15% of your daily dietary intake should be from LEAN protein!. Chicken, egg whites, fish, legumes, etc!. Note that Proteins are made up of amino acides!.!. Animal Protein conatins all 9 essential aminos, so it is a complete protein!. Grains, nuts and legumes do Not contain all 9 amino acids, so they are incomplete hormones!. Eat some animal protein!.

3!. FAT!.!.!. yes, fat!.!.!. essential!!!!!It is a MAJOR fuel source, high in concentrated calories ( 9 calories per gram)!. Conatins Essential fatty acids required for cell membranes, hormone production, healthy skin nd the the transport of fat soluable vitamins A, D and E!.Less than 10% of your daily dietary intake should be fat!. Try Olive oil, fish oil, udo oil, salmon, etc!. Natural nut butters are good, too!.

4> VITAMINS: they metabolize your food!. Take a multi daily!.!. and not a cheap drugstore variety!.

5!. Minerals: they support all our bodily funstions!. Found in many foods that you have crossed off your list!.

6> WATER!. WE are made of 65% water!. 8 - 10 cups per day,

Bottom line, eat clean, eat healthy, and eat often! Eating small meals every three hours will keep fat and calorie burning constant!. try to have a little carbs, fat and protien with every meal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
