My Atkins House Party

As  I add more and more photo to my blog I am staring to really notice the change in my weight, and not in a good way.  That is why when I heard about the Atkins House party, I jumped at the change to learn more ways to lose weight safely.  

Just like me many of you have probably heard of Atkins, but never really know exactly what is entails. Some of you, like me may think it is all about giving up all carbs but its not.  

What is Atkins ? 

"Atkins™ is the original leading low-carb weight loss plan that provides quick, effective, satisfying and balanced weight loss based on an extensive body of scientific research. The Atkins Diet is designed to “flip the body’s metabolic switch” from burning carbs to burning fat. Graduated carb introduction limits blood sugar and insulin spikes, which cause hunger and cravings, and result in overeating and weight gain."

How does it work?

"The Atkins plan consists of four phases, with gradual increased carb intake for each phase. The plan allows an individual to find his or her perfect carbohydrate balance that is ideal for their personal weight loss or maintenance. Atkins dieters are motivated to change and maintain their eating patterns with delicious and healthy food options."
