Atkins IS better than the GI diet at keeping off the pounds, contend scientists.

Now, scientists could have settled the discuss with a study showing that an Atkins-like high protein diet stops slimmers from piling the pounds back on. Each was asked to follow a variety of diets for 6 months to work out the top recipe for maintaining weight loss. At the finale of the study, those following a high protein diet had done best, hardly gaining any weight, no count what the GI ( glycaemic index ) of their meals. It is thought the results can be explained by protein's capability to make us feel full for longer than carbohydrates. THE ATKINS DIET High protein : Fish with salad is a meal choice on the Atkins diet.

"Good" carbs, like beans, plants and wholemeal bread, have a low GI which suggests they slowly release energy from food, curbing hunger pangs. On the and side, it is simple to find low GI versions of most foods, making the diet comparatively easy to follow. And some low GI foods - like chocolate and crisps - are fat rich or salt. I suspect it's just the 1st couple of weeks that you do not eat fruit on the Atkins.

There's no such thing as an one-size-fits-all diet. I have been on the Atkins diet for over 10 years. Basically, when I'm going in for my yearly physical the doctor jokingly tells the nurse, don't bother to weigh him, it'll be the same as last year. The sole downside of the Atkins diet is the pricetag ; protein isn't inexpensive in the USA so it's dearer than a GI diet. JOHN AIZLEWOOD sees the pop goddesses for real as they pump out their hits which feature a curious mix of gay Disco and S Club seven. The television presenter did not need to miss out on the fun in France but could not bear to be parted from her girl. She was expected to be larger than Amy Winehouse. It is not just citizens - the fashion world's fallen out of love with exhausted, middle-aged and out of touch New Labour. Nicole Kidman posed really purposely to show off her pregnant stomach at a country music awards rite with Keith Urban.
