I went on the Adkins diet and IT WORKS.
I went off of it and started gaining again.
It’s time for me to embrace steak and eggs again.
Trace Adkins has a diet?
I did it for years, and as long as I stayed on it faithfully either lost or remained steady (and my doctor loved my HDL/LDL ratios. Unfortunately it gets extremely boring (at least it did for me) especially in our culture where you are constantly bombarded by the complete opposite.
The reason it works is simple.
You (and everyone else) need protein. Your body replaces billions of cells every day. Your connective tissues are constantly breaking down and being replaced. All of the hormones and enzymes in the body are made from proteins.
If you cut way back on proteins and concentrate on carbs, it will have two effects: You will go on an insulin rollercoaster, and no matter what, you will ALWAYS be hungry. You will be hungry for proteins, but you will eat more carbs, which won’t satisfy your protein hunger.
