Please check it out at our website @ www.amongfriends.us ** Here is another one in the Induction-friendly series for all the new low carbers subscribing to my channel. I wanted to thank each and every one of my subscribers. For without them there would be no channel or dialogue on how to refute the media and get healthy. Thanks for watching! *Join the Facebook page – http * My Low Carb Blog – www.atkinsdietgeek.com Atkins Diet Revolution Rolls 3 eggs, separated 3 oz Cream Cheese 1/4 tsp Cream of Tartar 2 tsp Splenda Salt, dash Makes 6 servings Bake at 300 degrees for 35-55 minutes Nutrition Info: (per serving) 90 Calories, 7g Fat, 6g Protein, .5g Carb. here are most likely problems with the recipe: 1. Mixing or beating (not folding) the Egg Whites into the Yolks / Cream Cheese 2. Not beating the egg whites long enough (weak peaks) or no cream of tartar 3. Potentially not cooking the buns long enough or too long 4. Letting bits egg yolks in your egg white bowls This recipe works well as a take off for other ideas like French Toast (add cinnamon) or other tweaks. (IF = Induction Friendly)

Answer by cyn_texas
I’ve been doing Atkins for 6 years & plan on doing it for life.
Advantages of Atkins include:
>> That it works! That it works, twice as fast, twice as much.
>> Appetite control, cravings controlled
>> No hunger, plenty of calories & food allowed.
>> High calories, does not wreck metabolism (a calorie restricted diet can)
>> No exercise required (great for the disabled)
>> Exercise twice as effective: twice the muscle gain & twice the fat loss.
>> Fat loss is direct from fat stores, no need to deplete glycogen stores first.
>> After the first couple of weeks most people report that they have all this energy, they feel better than ever in their lives and that they are sleeping better.
>> That it improves health drastically, dramatically, immediately and allows the body to heal. Does not harm the body and rob vitamins (unlike a diet that allows sugar)
>> No “hitting the wall” – marathon runners, etc. don’t have a fuel change mid race (switching from burning glucose to burning body fat as a fuel)
>> HUGE bonus: that if I cheat, all those calories that would normally go direct to fat cells, fill up empty glycogen stores instead and are used as fuel for the muscles (it delays weight loss for a week, but doesn’t cause weight gain)
>> That it can easily be sustained for a lifetime.
Disadvantages – The first couple of weeks during the conversion you are sluggish and headachy (induction flu)
It’s not convenient. You need to cook and prepare food. You really can’t trust food you don’t prepare (restaurants & non low carbers cooking) You have to read labels.
You will lose more body fat eating protein & fat (don’t eat protein alone) than not eating AT ALL. To lose weight fast eat all you want but nothing but meat, eggs, healthy oils, mayo, butter and half an avocado a day (you’ll need added potassium). Keep the calories high and the fat percentage high, at least 65% of calories. Adding in green vegetables & some cheese will continue weight loss but at a slower pace.
Eating carbs while trying to lose body fat is terribly inefficient. When in glycolysis (burning glucose as fuel) you have to lower your calories (which slows your metabolism) and exercise heavily to deplete your glycogen stores before burning body fat.
The core of the Atkins program is converting your body from glycolysis (burning glucose as fuel) to ketosis (burning fat as fuel). You need to keep your fat levels at >65% of your calories, if you don’t your body will still remain in glycolysis by converting 58% of excess protein into glucose (via gluconeogenesis).
It takes minimum of 3 days to convert your body to ketosis, (but only one bite to convert back to glycolysis) you will probably feel sluggish the first week but most people feel better than ever thereafter.
Simple carbohydrates (sugar, flour, bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, rice) triggers insulin which can store the calories you eat into fat. The more protein you eat the more the fat burning hormone glucagon is released. The more carbohydrate you eat the more the fat storage hormone insulin is released.
High insulin levels promote inflammation, weight gain, hunger and unbalance other hormones. Controlling your insulin level will balance out other hormones & allow human growth hormone (HGH) to be produced naturally so you will gain lean muscle even without exercise. Any exercise will greatly increase your muscle mass with high HGH levels.
The first 2 weeks you can have several cups a day of (mostly) lettuce and celery, cucumbers, radishes, mushrooms, peppers and more variety of vegetables thereafter add 5 grams per day additional (20 grams day first 2 weeks, 25grams 3rd week, 30grams 4th week etc) every week til you gain weight, then you subtract 10 carbs. That would give you your personal carb level (everyone is different and it depends on how active you are.) Start with meat & fats & salads for a couple of weeks and then you can slowly add in more green veg, wk4 fresh cheeses, wk5 nuts & seeds, wk6 berries, wk7 legumes, wk8 other fruits, wk9 starchy veg and lastly wk10 whole grains. You will learn how your body reacts to different foods. As long as you remain <9 carbs per hour, you will maintain insulin control, and shouldn't gain weight.
Many people gain weight on high carb, then switch to low carb to lose weight & then are shocked when they return to high carb that they gain weight. Many people can return to moderate carb levels but very few can really eat all they want of sugar and maintain weight or health.
