Atkins diet

Indulge away in healthy carbohydrates and STILL lose weight. The Atkins Diet is a high-fat and low-carbohydrates diet which emphasizes on the intake of lean meat and low-starch vegetables to keep blood sugar levels within the healthy range. Simple carbohydrates are discouraged as a spike in blood sugar levels will cause the body to store fat instead.

A typical sample meal plan is as follows:

Breakfast: Poached eggs topped on two slices of rye toast.

Lunch: Zucchini and squash casserole.

Snacks: 2 squares of dark chocolate.

Dinner: Grilled salmon steak with one cup of steamed cauliflower.

As powerful as the Atkins Diet is, there are 3 phrases to follow:

Phase 1: carbohydrates are limited to only 20 grams daily.

Phase 2: Slightly increase carbohydrates intake and add an extra serving of vegetables, walnuts, and berries into your diet.

Phase 3: Add 10 grams of carbohydrates every week to maintain a steady weight loss.

Overconsumption of carbohydrates is the root of rapid weight gain. Hence, the Atkins diet’s emphasis on lean protein, fruits, and whole grains is a positive move for people with short term weight loss goals.

Mediterranean diet

Eat like a Greek!  This is undeniably the healthiest diet that consists of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, salmon, and skinless chicken over red meat.  If you love to cook, making your own meal just got easier.

 Breakfast: Greek yogurt, topped with blueberries, nuts and oats.

Lunch: Whole grain sandwich with cottage cheese and vegetables.
