So I have been reading on ways to budget for Paleo after this weeks was a complete failure as in didn't work at all!! So i wont post it.

Isn't Paleo just Atkins reloaded?

Hi everyone... My pc is down so I'm posting from my phone...this is a first... So here goes....

My sister (http://eattolivebykrystal.blogspot.co.uk) recently asked isn't Paleo just Atkins reloaded? Well to be honest I didn't know much about Atkins so a quick Google for some idea and told her that.

All I knew about the Atkins diet was it is a low carbohydrate diet and have a product line in the health slide of woolies.

So this post is for my sister. Who challenged me to do it.

Atkins Diet                                                                 Paleo Diet

Phases to follow	No phases
Carb counting	No counting
Food list for each phase to follow	No phases
Low carbs	Low carbs
commercial range of bars and shakes	Natural food like grass fed meats, organic veg and fruit
Has a weight loss focus	Has a lifestyle focus
Allows grains and legumes	No grains or legumes
Low sugar	Low sugar
Ok with their brand of processed foods	No processed foods
Phrase one promotes ketosis	Promotes healthy eating
Against trans fats	Against trans fats
Doesn’t promote food source knowledge	Highly promoted food source knowledge
Has a vegan program	Promotes meat consumption
Rules of phases  then principles to follow in final Phase.	Principles of healthy eating to follow

So there you go. there are similarities low carb being one but some as massive deferences such as the Atkins having a commercial range of power bars and shakes and Paleo being about whole natural foods and also the Paleo idea of knowing what you food eat or how to grow not being a part of the Atkins diet.

So Paleo is not Atkins rebooted.

Not all Carbs are created equal.

I am trying to lose weight.

I have been told over and over and over eat more carbs(grains) fruit and veg to lose the weight (from two babies with a small gap of 15 months!)Yet I gained more weight! The more I tried the more I gained. No how much I exercised.

My Sister (http://eattolivebykrystal.blogspot.co.uk) and myself have both battled with our health and weight. My sister has found the approach from Joel Fuhrman, M.D. I as you can tell by the blog found Paleo.

The approaches have a few things in common. and this is one of them. Not all Carbs are equal.

This idea is certainly not new.

The First Low-Carb Diet And Diet Book

During the 1850's a physician named Doctor Harvey in England had to treat a patient named William Banting regarding obesity. Harvey advised him to cut down the sugars and starches. In fact, he told him not to eat more than the minimum daily amount that was required. This came to be the very first low-carb diet.

The plan worked so well, that even William Banting was able to write a book about the so-called diet. The book was published in 1862 and was called letter on Corpulence Addressed to the Public. This book came to be the very first diet book made in history.

 So how do Carbs work you ask ?

http://blog.massivehealth.com/infographics/Carbs_are_killing_you/

So If you are trying to lose weight avoid the carbs!

All refined carbohydrates are to be avoided including…

• bread
• pasta
• white rice
• fruit juice
• sugar

Notice veggies aren't on that list?
But they have carbs...

All values are calculated from raw vegetables. Values for carbohydrates in vegetables may vary between different pieces!

The difference?
Bread and other "processed " Carbs are quickly turned to sugar as seen above while the body has to work harder to turn veggies and whole Fruit to sugar.

So in closing.
Avoid the carbs lose the weight. eat your veggies( esp the green ones!) and whole fruits :)
