Atkins’s diet
[intro]
The Atkins diet is one that promotes low carbohydrates and high protein dieting and this is said to be one of the most effective ways of losing weight. This is done by eating more proteins and lesser food that contains carbohydrates. The good thing about the diet is that the dieters are presented with a great variety of food that are actually recommended for the diet. These dieters would not have to forsake their favorite food in search of a healthier body. The benefits do not only stop here, following through with this form of dieting also helps to cut down on one’s weight, it helps improve the risk of getting heart diseases and lowers the risks of getting hypertension and diabetes, inflammation, has benefits to treating epilepsy and decreasing obesity. In a nutshell, Atkins diet is a diet with little restrictions, and high reaps.

I personally think that the diet may be good for a short-term solution but I do not think that it would be feasible for a long-term solution. The Atkins diet allows dieters to have a greater variety of food choices and this is good because the dieters would not feel too restricted and harbor thoughts about dropping out, however, eating too much fatty food might bring about some negative impacts on one’s health in the long run. Ketosis is also a problem because most dieters would not know if they are eating too little carbohydrates or not, this may put the dieters at risk of going through ketosis, which might also bring about health issues. Another point is the reason why the dieters are dieting in the first place, if it is to make one feel healthier and look better, the Atkins diet may not work out because of the long-term negative impacts on one’s health. If so, then the Atkins diet should not be used because it defeats the original purpose of improving health conditions…
[summary]
The Atkins diet is a famous form of low carbohydrate dieting created by Dr.Robert Atkins and the diet states that we are able to change our metabolism rate so that weight loss would take place at a faster speed. This could be done if we start to cut down on high level of carbohydrates and make up for it by eating foods high in protein and fat. This form of diet is said to reduce cravings and hunger for more food, unlike the high carbohydrate-low protein diet which causes overproduction of insulin which in turn leads to increased hunger and weight gain.
When following through the Atkins diet, there is a great variety of food products presented to the dieter however, there are certain foods which one might need to avoid. Food like: bread, cereals, potatoes and other food that is high in carbohydrates and this also includes carbonated drinks, alcohol and caffeine.
Dr Atkins has also clarified that although Atkins diet promotes less restricted eating regime, this does not pose as a valid excuse for people to binge or gorge on food.
Although the first two weeks of Atkins diet imposes a strict diet plan on dieters, allowing them to consume only 20gs of carbohydrates per day until they are satisfied with their weight, the dieters are able to gradually increase their intake of carbohydrates thereafter so that they do not get into the fasting state of ketosis.
The most important part of Atkins diet is that it produces brilliantly fast weight loss results twice the weight and favorable metabolic effects as compared to people using Zone, Ornish or LEARN diets And it also improves risk factors for heart diseases, hypertension and diabetes, inflammation and treating epilepsy.

[this is the critique]

Atkins states that his diet enables us to change our metabolism rate to enable weight loss. This is because weight gain is caused by the great amount of simple sugars that is being ingested by the body. When the amount of simple sugar builds up in the body, insulin is being produced by the pancreas glands to help gather the sugars in the form of glycogen and is being stored in our muscles in case the body needs it afterwards. However, our body is unable to store huge amount of glycogen and when the body can contain no more, these excesses would be stored as fat. Then as our body gets exposed to more insulin, the body starts to become resistant to it. slowly, the simple sugars that is being ingested would not be converted into glycogen anymore, but as fats. Simple sugars is found in carbohydrates, therefore it is proven that carbohydrates contribute to weight gain. That is why Dr. Atkins diet hopes to reduce the intake of carbohydrates to the body and enable weight loss.
However, excluding carbohydrates in one’s diet may not be such a good thing after all. It is said that carbohydrates can be easily replaced by proteins but carbohydrates play distinct roles at which proteins are unable to replace. Where do we get our energy from? We get them from carbohydrates like rice and potatoes! If our body does not obtain enough carbohydrates, the body will go to extreme measures to get the energy that is needed for it to function. The body will start to feed on the carbohydrates that is being stored in our muscles and may cause ketosis to occur. Ketosis may lead to muscle breakdown/loss, nausea, dehydration etc. The body may also try to chemically break down the proteins that one consumes so that they act/look like carbohydrates and such reactions might put extra strain on our kidneys because it has to work harder to get rid of the unused protein by-products. In addition, Atkins diet can also give rise to many other health risks too.
When it comes down to this stage, the dieters would have to face undesirable consequences of not taking enough carbohydrates. In the long run, it may cause even greater harm to your body but if you stop, then the weight that is lost would be gained back quickly again. Atkins diet is not a feasible long term solution for obesity as this diet might put our health at risk. Restricting carbohydrates might lead to the lack of fiber which may in turn cause constipation and gastrointestinal difficulties. Plus, when huge amount of fat is being consumed, there is bound to be an increase in one’s cholesterol level which may increase the risk of heart diseases and not reduce it like what Dr.Atkins mentioned. So, the Atkins diet is not recommended because it harms our body in the long run instead of improving it. Although it brings about some short term benefits, when we stop dieting,

Mr soh was quite pleased with the performance and he said, "you all very funny leh, if you performed like this from the start, you could go home one hour earlier..."
incentives teacher!!! you know what incentives are??? they should give us incentives from the very start...like, "if you do this well, i'll give you a one hour break" or something like that instead of saying this, "year twos, i am not going to scold you today because i want to see you make a fool of yourselves...do you know what discipline is? when i first came into rv and started teaching ten years ago, i was really proud because i know that rv students are the cream of the crop, but five years ago, i no longer felt this way...when you step out of the school you are carrying the school's brand name, but i don't see you behaving like you should...blahblahblah...THAT GIRL OVER THERE!
