The Atkins Diet 艾特金斯饮食法
Philosophy:Cut carbohydrates-they make you hungrier. Load up on fats and proteins.
How It Works: When the body takes in very few carbs, it gets its energy by burning fat instead of carbs. This occurs when the liver turns stored fat into chemicals called ketones, which are used for fuel (and can give you less-than-fresh breath).
Downside:Long-term adherance. It's hard to stick to a diet that restricts such a big chunk of the food pyramid.
关键词 减少碳水化合物摄入-这样你容易有饥饿感。摄入更多脂肪和蛋白质。
原理:当人体碳水化合物摄入不足时,它从脂肪燃烧中获得能量,取代原来的碳水化合物。这时肝脏将体内储存的脂肪转化为酮类化学物质,它常常用来做燃料。(从而产生一种呼吸不畅的感觉).
缺点:长期节食,严格限制食物金字塔中基础食物的摄入,困难。
