I'm doing intermittent fasting, and keto .... BUT after a year iv lost 40 lbs , I eat around 1:p.m. and again around 4 or 5 p.m. , then nothing , no snacks , just coffee with butter I'VE ADDED CORN TORTILLAS TO MY MEALS / LIFESTYLE , CUTTING WAY BACK ON BACON , AND SWITCHED TO CHICKEN , EGGS, CHEESE, BROCCOLI, ONIONS, CREAM CHEESE, GRASS FED BUTTER ,

Dr Atkins is still the king of Low carb and Keto

[@M.Moadeli123]

Most of us doing Atkins don't buy Atkins own brand foods. We buy our own goods. So that drawback is out of the way. And for those of us who aren't severely obese or insulin resistant and just need to loose a bit and then maintain that minus starvation Atkins works really well. I've loved atkins. Gets the job done and I still get to eat lots of food.

[@c.u.c7938]

I only buy their snacks

[@sherrywilson7928]

Never too much protein. Read Dr Atkins book. Hunger is not an issue. You can have as much protein and fat as you want.

[@liveforchrist1474]

My dad did Atkins in 1994 he ate all the animal meat he wanted , it's what he mostly ate and he lost 275 lb in a year and 2 months. He ate all the fat he wanted too but mostly meat and 1 or 2 salads a day or other low carb veggies. The original Atkins diet made it easy for the bed bound morbid obese to get healthy. Many many people found it was the only diet that was getting them healthy and keeping them healthy. It was very simple just cut your carbs and limit caffeine cuz it slows ketosis. You don't have to fast or exercise. Those that have to fast or exercise on ketogenic diet to see results are probably consuming too much caffeine or the wrong sweeteners or not enough fat. Fasting and exercise are beneficial but not required to loose weight on ketogenic dieting. Atkins also explained the dangers of over restricting meats. You don't have to over nausiate yourself by eating mostly fat to ketogenic diet either.😉😄

Thanks, perfect to answer my questions about the difference. Back in the 70's I followed the Atkins type diet but always with real food, good protein, veggies right out of my garden, and not those junkie commercial products and it worked fine to control both weight and hypoglycemia. Now I see why.

[@secretsquirrel7300]

Yes, the "Atkins" company now sells a lot of junkfood, but it's not what Dr. Atkins would have approved..He also believed in getting into ketosis. I used Atkins to lose 100 pounds about 20 years ago. Kept it off for about 7 years, but some family issues happened. Now I'm doing it again. Different things work for different people. IF doesn't work for me at all. It stalls me out. There are "keto" labeled products out there that are horrible. As with anything, find what works for you and do it well.

I lost 40 lbs on atkins with no effort, was 2 weeks on 20 g of carbs and after this my metabolism started working like a clock, I started loosing and lost weight in 3 month. But I never used atkins foods. I ate supplements and seasoning like: cinnamon, oregano, turmeric, ginger, iodine, magnesium, probiotics, vitamin D. And I think this healed my guts and metabolism. I still need to loose 10-15 lbs but now it’s hard, so I started again on 20 g of carbs.

This KZbin headline is misleading. Atkins brought the word ketosis Mainstream in the 1970’s, when he died in 2003 is when the takeover company ramped up with silly products and new pitchmen hawking “Keto” as something new and different. I stick to the pre 2002 Atkins books and plan and specifically the Fran Gare, Helen Monica co authored Atkins cookbooks. Those are great and prior to the goofy atkins branded cooking ingredients released.

[@vwilborn2538]

I was Atkins during the craze years ago, bought books, etc. I actually lost weight, stalled then gained it back. I knew it worked at some level, but was very confused about it. It wasn't until a few years ago I learned about healthy keto, lost the weight I gained and haven't looked back. I agree there is definitely a technical difference and yes, it has nothing to do with being "healthy", just weight loss.

[@nxdita]

By far the best explanation of the difference between keto and the Atkins diet! Thank you so much!

[@Godfamcountry]

I tried keto and it was effective, but two issues I had were eating insane amounts of fat, at first to the point of almost nauseam, never felt right or sane. Second is it's incredibly difficult to maintain longterm for the average person. Atkins provides a more achievable longterm approach while attacking the main problem. Achieving health is a marathon not a sprint...don't knock the real shoes that can get your there.

True that insulin release is stimulated more often eating 3 - 5 small meals per day, but for someone who is diabetic or hypoglycemic the multiple times per day with low carbs at ANY ONE TIME can be an easier way to start out. It's not easy to be a purist about total carbs and fasting when you're starting from a weak condition.

Original Atkins book had an all fat (cream/butter) for the most stubborn times to push into ketosis. If couldn't lose weight on the induction would switch to that to force body to ketosis.

The original Atkins was not about the junky processed food items we see on the shelves today. Following Atkins very much resulted in healthier eating for me back in the 70's. But the same is true about Keto today. There are lots of "Keto friendly " products on the grocery shelves now that are essentially junk food. Manufacturers always findxa way to substitute cheap ingredients for healthy ones.

Theory, the higher % of protein for Atkins, maybe that when he wrote his book in 1972, insulin resistance was not as prevalent as today. Lastly in Chapter 23, he does discuss a brief suggestion regarding insulin resistance.

"Don't eat if you are not hungry" is always true, but "eat if you are hungry" is not so. If you have a hormonal imbalance like me, your hunger hormones might never really stop telling you to eat some more, no matter how much you eat. I wish I knew how to fix it :(

I wouldn't eat any of the Atkins processed products. If someone wanted to follow the Atkins macros it would be better to do it with whole foods prepared at home and just use one of the I.F. protocols. Personally, I prefer keto to Atkins but I tend to be closer to carnivore sometimes.

Thank you 1GoldenBreeze. That's the way to do it.

[@VibeWithVida]

How can you prefer Keto over Atkins yet say you tend to go carnivore? Atkins is VERY close to carnivore in comparison to Keto, which is mostly fats.

[@shaunbloggsbot9528]

@@VibeWithVida If you're referring to the carnivore diet it is actually 0% carbs, vegetables. The focus of the carnivore diet is to be used as the best elimination diet for figuring out what a person can't eat. People with a very poor tolerance in vegetable anti nutrients have done it and all chronic inflammation symptoms subsided. Which is why the OP said he goes from keto to carnivore every now and then. I happen to do it myself from keto to ketovore to carnivore. I think it's not quite accurate to compare Atkins to Carnivore because one is a low carb diet, the other is a no carb diet. The carnivore diet is also not just about protein, it has to be high fat because that's what the main fuel is. Protein is mostly utilised for the reparative aspects it possess. Eating high protein is quite a common mistake among carnivore dieters which is why you've been lead to such a presupposition.

Agreed, would be helpful. I think gout treatment is handled poorly by conventional medicine, at least for me, pushing increasing drugs, never mentioning the correlation with fructose and scaring me into not fasting due to increased uric acid production.

[@HMaxTube11]

You’ve done a great service pointing out that Atkins is chemical-loaded factory food.

[@VibeWithVida]

He's wrong. Dr Atkins NEVER endorsed products. Millions of people ate tons of meat ( true Atkins) meat and lost massive weight in the 80s and 90s. The products and processed junk came about AFTER he died and his wife sold the company. True Atkins is similar to carnivore diet ( tons of meat) only with low carb veggies. And people lose weight very quickly on carnivore, just as they do on Atkins. This Dr isn't versed at all in Atkins. I'm surprised about that. I've lost and KEPT off my weight on Atkins for 9 years.

[@roxannehale1386]

5 meals a day worked for me for a while, lost 60 lbs, after I went off of ACTOS. I had gained 120 lbs on ACTOS, could not breath, muscles turned to jello, and eventually all kinds is osteo problems, finally 2 hip replacements, and still struggling with herniated discs, plus eventually had to go on Levemere and now Humolog, definatly in Metabolic Syndrom last 10 years.. However after 2 decades of suffering and a ruined career, just 1 year on KETO/IF and my labs, A1c from 7.5 to 6.0. Mornining suger down from 120s to sometimes 80 and 90, Humalog almost eliminated. But I can't seem to get below 75 Levemere yet, and my sugers yo yo so often, LDL 350 down to 100, HDL perfect. Triglycerides still high, and only 15 lbs lost. But I see I'm eating too much meat protein and too much lactose. Changing to goat milk products and more hard cheeses and less meat. Goal is snack of 1 whole avocado, or olives with cucumber and feta and tziki to work on those triglycerides, or hard boiled egg perhaps, remain on 18/6 IF ( no problem). Labs again in 1 1/2 month. We'll see.

I do keto and have had great success, however, about a year into it I realized the importance of protein and that I was actually under-protein-ed. This is SUPER important for seniors (actually, for folks starting in the 40's, even). I feel a good base formula is 1.5g of (animal) protein per kg or LEAN (ideal) bodyweight. Another excellent formula on keto with regard to protein is your total protein/carb total calories should be 640 per a 2000 calorie daily need. So...for example...at 64kg (142 lbs)...I would need 1.5g of protein X 64 = about 95 grams of protein which at 4/cal per gram = 380 calories of daily protein. I use about 2000 cals per day, so that leaves 260 calories (from the 640) for carbs...which is about 65 carbs. Seniors must get sufficient protein to defer Sarcopenia.

[@ms.robinson8252]

I made up my own diet, and I did well, but unfortunately, with the way life is set up, it was hard keeping up with that diet. 70% fiber foods 20 % protein 10% carb.

Eating apples grapes and watermelon cucumber salad steam vegetables, rice potatoes, and carrots were the only carbs. I didn't eat pork, beef, lamb, or chicken and turkey.

Dr. Atkins had it mostly right. I don't agree that higher protein is a problem, however his omitting of fasting is an important factor. But taking into consideration the time at which he developed his research, eating three square meals a day was the norm.

This is great to know, thank you Dr.! The whey proteins I tried in the past would make me nauseated and give me a stomach ache. Been taking marine collagen peptides for about a month now, no nausea and no stomach issues 🙏🏼.

I've been underweight since I can remember the only way for me to gain weight is to train and build up muscle. From too much sweets or fat food i just feel sick or even throw up. Can you do a video how to gain weight and muscle through a diet change?

[@drekberg]

I'll look into it. Eat real food and include 20-40% of calories from carbs. Being underweight you can eat more carbs than the average person. Just eat real food and focus on the foods you tolerate.

What about Robert Cameron's The Drinking Man's Diet, 1964? Same as Atkins, just add a few martinis a day. It works.

What is wrong with GMOs? With all that sensible and logical talk why object using gmo grown organically?

[@nothingisreal8618]

I hear of a lot of people losing lots of weight on the Carnivore diet yet there's tons of protein consumed. Could you possibly do a video on this Dr Ekberg as it seems to contradict this video. Thank you.

[@drekberg]

Everyone is different. We start with understanding principles, then we do trial and error. One mans food is another man's poison.

[@ThomasGeist]

I am a bit surprised because your videos usually seem very balanced and informative. But this time you unfortunately you did the same as most other media does by looking only at the products that Atkins sell. It looks like you never took a closer look at their website where they actually offer different meal plans up to a so called “foodie” plan where almost every meal is 100% home cooked. In addition to this they offer a database of hundreds of low carb recipes. And all of this for free. So only looking at their sold food is a bit unfair. They also provide tools, discussion forums and advice, again all for free. Yes, criticism of their products may be justified, but a look at their whole scope would be more fair and helpful. BTW, I am in no way affiliated with Atkins. I just took the time to take a closer look at what they offer. And I got rid of type 2 diabetes that way. 😊

We need to stop over complicating nutrition. Identify you caloric maintenance needs, and just eat less, but also workout and build muscle. Your body will change.

Keto is not complicated, easier than counting calories and no hunger!

[@armax00]

I think at the beginning you say that the Atkins is high in fat, but my understanding is that is low fat high protein right?

[@drekberg]

Thank you Armando Miraglia. Actually no. It is like keto; low carb, high fat, but higher protein, which can create too much glucose for some people. Also some of the products associated with it contains a lot of chemicals and artificial stuff, but overall it is a sound idea 😄

[@didilom564]

This was great!

[@jameskantor0459]

Thank you this was very helpful. I am at about 70 gm carb, looking like I might want to eat more fat.
