In this Atkins Diet Quick Hits video, I deal with the question similar to the zero carb video, but slightly different. Do we eliminate all sugar from our diet with Atkins? The answer is surprising to some that it is no. What we do eliminate is ADDED sugar, and limit the natural sugars that is found in food. You are still eating natural sources of sugar like sucrose or lactose in things like pumpkin or tomatoes or cream cheese, but you have restricted that amount to a level where your blood glucose is under control. I welcome these sorts of question, so I can clear up any confusion that might exist. It is then that I know these people will be that much more successful in making wise choices. In other news, I have set my plans for this fall’s running schedule. August 31 – Madrid (Iowa) Milers 15 mile run September 28 – Quad City Marathon (It is back on, and I am gearing for the sub 4) October 19 – Des Moines Half Marathon (pacing the 2:10 group) November 22 – Living History Farms Race

Atkins Diet Quick Hits – Alcohol One of the questions I get quite often is can I drink during Induction or at all on Atkins. This question is probably least hard for me to answer as I have given much of alcohol except for maybe a couple times a year. With that, during Induction you definitely should not drink alcohol. It is only 14 days long, and certainly you can last 14 days without drinking. Why? The same reason we restrict everything else in Induction — get you back to a simple diet or platform to readd foods, drop in ketosis, and start a new way to eat. Some people can drink and lose weight still, but for others, it is a source of much trouble. Two reasons this can happen: * all alcohol must be consumed for fuel first before burning anything else which can last up to a hour and half per drink. So no fat burning while you are drinking alcohol. * Alcohol can lead increased hunger and decreased resistance to cravings. Wait ’til OWL phase, and figure out if you can add it back without gaining weight. If you can lose and drink, make sure your selection are low carb options. Figure out up front what and how many so you’ll know how long you will be off fat burning.

In this long Quick Hits video, I discuss whether kids or teenagers (as my daughter oft reminds me) should follow the Atkins Diet as prescribed or a more moderate low carb or carb conscious plan. I respond by saying that for most teenagers a lower carb approach is probably best, especially not if the choice is not driven by the child themselves. I believe as parents we are called to teach our kids a healthy way of eating, and while acknowledging kids’ environment and choices, we should make and help them choose to eat wisely, which by almost any standard should not include “whites” – refined starches and sugars. There should be no requirement for breading or donuts to be healthy or happy. The challenge with kids and teenagers is therefore school lunch programs and their unhealthy nature. This is by no means a discouragement for teenagers, who may want to try Atkins Diet due to an internal desire to lose weight. I just want them to be aware of what their decision means.
