Eco Atkins Weight Loss – Lose More Weight With Improved Atkins Diet
The original Atkins diet was very popular for people looking to loose some weight and has been very successful in helping people achieve there ideal body the only problem being high consumption of protein and fats and especially fats coming from meat in the saturated form.
Not only is saturated fat from meats hard for the body to digest and process it can increase the levels of LDL bad cholesterol in the blood. This is were the new Eco Atkins diet comes into play now instead of getting a lot of your fats from animal sources you now switch to getting your protein and fat from plant based foods.
The Eco Atkins is the revamped version of the original by Professor David Jenkins from the University of Toronto who explored the alternatives to meat in the Atkins diet. By simply changing the protein source the Atkins diet has been given a boost and in a recent trial over 28 weeks a group of overweight men and women managed to drop 10% of their body weight.
Eco Atkin's Protein Sources
- Nuts
- Soy
- Gluten
- Lentils
- Beans
The plant based protein sources also came with other benefits including
- Increasing Insulin Sensitivity
- Decreasing risk of Diabetes
- Lower levels of bad cholesterol
High protein diets like the Atkins diet are very popular due to the power of protein to make you feel fuller without affecting your blood sugar levels. It is just the protein source that you should question and long term studies have not been carried out on the affect a high meat diet has on the body.
The Eco Atkins is another supporter of a vegan style diet and clearly shows that cutting down animal products can increase the body's ability to burn fat and keep it off. Not only that it's a lot easier on the organs to process plant based products.
