The vegetarian Atkins or eco-Atkins diet
If you are looking for a good weight loss diet to lose weight easily and stay healthy, why not try eco-Atkins?
It is a vegetarian Atkins diet, which for those who are not vegetarians can be broken with a day or two of the normal Atkins diet, and for those who are vegetarian or vegan it is perfect as well.
According to this study , the Atkins diet in a vegetarian or vegan key has no particular contraindications, is healthier than a normal Atkins diet and is sustainable in the long term without problems.
The Atkins diet is one of the most popular low-carb diets, with about half the daily requirement in fat, over a third in protein, and the rest in carbohydrates.
The Atkins is therefore not a protein diet in the strict sense, but more ketogenic, and consists of 4 phases, which differ substantially from each other for a greater intake of carbohydrates. From 12/15 grams in total, net of the fibers of the “induction” phase which involves a strong weight loss, to the last phase, maintenance, in which you tend to eat low-carb, but you can eat little pasta, rice in moderation or bread.
THE ECO ATKINS: RULES AND DIET PLAN
Eco-Atkins has five main meals: three are breakfast, lunch and dinner and then two snacks.
