The New Diet Revolution by Dr. Atkins
In 1972, to distinguish himself from other low-carbohydrate diets, not sufficiently effective according to him, Dr. Robert Atkins developed a program based on the elimination through urine and respiration of ketones, carbon compounds produced by combustion. incomplete fat. Based on a strong reduction in carbohydrates, this diet was particularly effective but so far suffered from a bad reputation among doctors who criticized it for being:
- too restrictive and therefore difficult to follow in the long term;
- unbalanced: eggs, bacon, butter, red meat… too much fat, not enough fruits and vegetables;
- to be accompanied by annoying side effects (at the beginning fatigue, migraines…).
In 2011, three university medical professors, Drs Eric Westman, Stephen Phinney and Jeff Volek developed a new version of the Atkins Diet that echoes the most recent thinking in diet and nutrition and features changes. significant making the program easier to follow and more flexible and without annoying side effects.
THE FOUR PHASES OF THE NEW ATKINS DIET
Phase 1: start-up phase
- Lasts at least 2 weeks, extended if the person has a lot of weight to lose.
- The body adapts by preferentially burning fat, which triggers weight loss.
- Limit the consumption of carbohydrates to 20 g per day. 12 to 15 g of these carbohydrates must come from non-starchy vegetables (list expanded compared to the original Atkins diet).
- All foods which contain sugar, cereals in any form whatsoever, fruit juices and concentrates, are excluded.
- Snack at 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. authorized (Atkins bars)
Phase 2: phase of continuous weight loss
- Start adding berries, nuts, seeds, some legumes…
- Gradually increase the daily consumption of carbohydrates, in steps of 5 g until a balance is found, that is to say that the consumption of carbohydrates should not slow down weight loss ( carbohydrate threshold for weight loss ).
- Continue this phase until you are 5 kilos from the target weight.
Phase 3: pre-stabilization phase
- Widen the range of carbohydrate foods: other fruits, starches and, finally, whole grains…
- As long as weight loss continues, increase carbohydrate consumption in steps of 10 g per day.
- When the person approaches the target weight, he must test the quantity of carbohydrates that he can consume without gaining weight ( Atkins carbohydrate balance threshold ).
- When the weight has stabilized for at least 1 month, go to phase 4.
Phase 4: final stabilization phase
- Continue to consume the various foods from phase 3 and monitor your weight for life.
- Each person must learn to manage their own weight, some will have to continue to consume few carbohydrates (sensitive people) and others will be able to expand the range of carbohydrate foods (tolerant people).
THE MAIN RULES TO FOLLOW

IS THE NEW ATKINS DIET RIGHT FOR YOU?
If low-calorie diets that restrict fat have never helped you lose weight or stabilize your weight, Atkins may be right for you. With good fats allowed, the New Atkins is much less frustrating.
By cutting back on carbs and allowing snacks, it curbs cravings making it easier to follow in the long run.
The New Atkins Diet is suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
WHAT DOES THE RESEARCH SAY?
The Atkins diet, long criticized, however, astonishes by the density of its good results, in the studies which examined it.
One of the most recent, published in July 2008, compared the effectiveness on body weight of three types of diets: an Atkins-type diet, low in starches and sugars, without restriction of calories consumed, a type diet. Mediterranean low in calories, and ultimately a diet low in fat and calories. Result after two years: it is the people who followed the low-starch diet who lost the most weight. They are also the ones who have seen their health improve the most. The study involved 322 moderately obese people. Among the 272 participants who completed the experiment, the average weight loss was 3.3 kg for the low fat diet, 4.6 kg for the Mediterranean diet and 5.5 kg for the Atkins-type diet.
Researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine in the United States over a year compared the merits of the Atkins, Zone, LEARN and Ornish diets and in 311 obese or overweight women. The LEARN and Ornish diets come close to the traditional recommendations of nutritionists, while Atkins and Zone advocate reducing carbohydrates. Result: it is with the Atkins diet that these women lost the most weight: on average twice as much as the others. After one year, the women in the Atkins group had lost an average of 4.7 kg compared to 2.6 kg, 2.2 kg and 1.6 kg, respectively for the LEARN, Ornish and Zone groups. Their blood pressure was also lower than on other diets and their blood triglyceride levels were lower.
In 2006, a British study compared the Atkins diet, low in carbohydrates to Slim-Fast (high protein), Weight Watchers (low in calories, with psychological support in the form of group meetings) Rosemary Conley (low in fat, with Weight Watchers-type support. 6-month results show that all programs achieve roughly the same weight loss that was accompanied by decreased waistlines. The Atkins diet appears to be more effective over the four first few weeks.
