What is Atkins Diet? <a href="http://www.fairdiet.com/atkins-diet.php" rel="nofollow"><strong>Atkins Diet</strong></a> is a high protein, low carbohydrate diet. It promotes using meat, eggs, and cheese while discouraging high carbohydrate-content foods such as bread and rice. If excess carbohydrates are taken in, excess enzymes should be generated to digest it. This may lead to disintegration of pancreatic cells in a long run, which may further lead to diabetes. According to Robert Atkins, on having a low carbohydrate diet, our body will enter into a state of ketosis, in which, instead of carbohydrates, fat is digested to release energy. This reduces the need for more insulin produced by the pancreatic cells and the fat deposits are subsided. Thus, the body weight is reduced to a considerable amount. Advantages of Atkins Diet: 1. Considerable amount of body weight is reduced by the burning of fats which is the secondary source of energy. 2. Inter-meal diets could be avoided since you won’t be hungry between meals. 3. Could maintain constant blood sugar level. 4. Since most of the toxins contained in our body are removed along with the burning of fats, overall heath is improved. Things to Note: 1. It is recommended to consult a doctor or physician before trying out Atkins diet meal plans. 2. Daily exercise is highly recommended along with Atkins diet foods. 3. People with kidney disorders, pregnancy, and diabetes are advised not to follow Atkins diet meal plans. Phases of Atkins Diet: 1. Induction - In this phase, which includes first 14 days of the diet, it is said that you will lose up to 15 pounds of your body weight. During this time, the amount of carbohydrates consumed per day will be less than 20 grams. The only carbohydrates included in your Atkins diet recipes will be low carbohydrate-content vegetables like tomato. 2. Ongoing <a href="http://www.fairdiet.com/atkins-diet.php" rel="nofollow">Weight Loss</a> – During this second stage, the consumption of carbohydrates is raised up to 5 grams per day. 3. Pre-maintenance – During this stage of Atkins diet meal plans, the rate of fall of body weight will be slower. Also, you can experiment various other foods to see whether they add your body weight or not. If found safe, you could add it to your Atkins diet food products. 4. Maintenance – You enter this phase when you find that you have reduced the body weight to the desired level. Also you could add some more carbohydrates to your diet which do not raise your body weight, like full wheat bread. Tail Piece: The ultimate result of <a href="http://www.fairdiet.com/atkins-diet.php" rel="nofollow">Atkins diet program</a> (other diet programs as well) depends solely on how well the person follows the recommendations.

I am so very sorry to hear about what you are going through. If I may, there is a gift I wish to offer to you that may be of help. I have a very close friend Jenn, who just this past November was diagnosed by conventional medicine with an inoperable brain tumor on her optic nerve and the doctors told her that she had 9 months to one year to live at best. This woman is much like you, She is 25 years old, a happy vivacious woman, a CFO of a local firm here in San Diego and a wonderful soul. What I can tell you is through what we have been doing here with herbal rememedies (she went off all conventional medicine entirely as it was making her sicker) spiritual healing and cleansing, as of Easter weekend, her tumor is half gone! She has a boyfriend now and is actually about to close escrow on her first house, things she thought she would never do because they told her she was certain to 'die'. I offer this to you as a gift to let you know that there is hope and miracles do come true if we so choose them to be so. As a Wholistic Intuitive Practioner, I would like to offer that you take a look at http://www.herbalhealer.com to get the cancer herbs for detoxying and cleansing. The herbs on Majiah's website here are as she says they are miraculous. This is what Jenn has been taking: 4-Herb Tea which is also known on their site as ESSIAC, this consists of the four herbs of Burdock Root, Sheep Sorrel, Slipery Elm, and Turkey Rhubarb. Yew Tips is the next, the Yew Tips herb and be mixed with the four herb tea and when you order these they send you instructions on how to make the tea along with an articleall about how these herbs in her formula cure cancer. Next is HHA Beta Glutans with Maitake Mushroom, and the last is Reishi. Now they also recommend Colloidal Silver but Jenn already has it at home so I did not get her any. If you order Colloidal Silver from any other source other than Herbal Healer, please make sure you get the 500 ppm. The lower dosages are not as effective and the 500 ppm is the best truly. It is a bit more expensive than the lower dosages but highly worth it. I do have research on Colloidal which is on my website at http://www.diamondlady.net under the Colloidal Silver link if you need more info on it. There are also other herbs hearbal healer recommends such as Shark Cartilage, Geranium, Revivin, HHA Olive Leaf Extract, CME - Cordyceps Extract, Apricot Kernels, Oxy5000, Dioxiclor and a few others depending upon what type of cancer. There is a whole list of information on this site that can be of help in assisting you with this cancer. Another key ingredient to cancer physically is chronic dehydration and built up toxic remnants from food and drink of any kind, conventional medicine, and other toxins which we are free from flushing out with an adequate supply of water. I have extensive information on my website about this as well as within the gift that I wish to gift you. This other gift I wish to gift to you is something that has been a tremendous gift of assistance to Jenn during this process and has along with the herbs, been the catalyst for this miraculous recovery for her, and that is the spiritual side of cancer, of dis~ease. For it is the physical and the spiritual co-creating harmoniously as One that gifts us with infinite radiant well being and it is the how in how to do and be this that I wish to gift to you now for your own healing physically and spiritually. I may be free from being gifted with cancer, but I too have been gifted with many diseases, the most recent diagnosis by conventional medicine being Lupus and a rare and potentially fatal blood disorder where the physical body clots inside and bleeds profusely when cut on the outside. Also as a Doctor of Divinty, I have studied and researched many facets of healing, disease, and death. I have also flatlined and or died ten times and come back to life here on this earth, with my most recent one occurring in Sept 2005 when having the gallbladder removed. So I am free from being a stranger to disease and death. As my Shamanic mentor used to tell me that I am a soul who walks between the worlds:) Thus, my gift that I wish to gift you is that I invite you to please go to my website at http://www.diamondlady.net and go to the link where the book I have just published is called Stepping Into Spiritual Oneness, and download it for free from my site. Please read it, in particular the chapter on Vibrational Healing, as I know that the wisdom within the pages of this Chapter and of this book, will be the catalyst for healing as it has been for Jenn. If you ever need anything dear friend, please know that I am always, In All Ways, here for you and I will be placing you in our healing circles we hold weekly here in our spiritual center. Please feel free to email me at any moment you so choose if you at diamondlady1025@diamondlady.net. If you so wish to choose to speak with Jenn also for support and guidance through this time in your life, I can email you her contact information as well if you email me. Please know that you are always in my thoughts and I envision you as Radiant Infinite Well BEing Always, In All Ways.
