With summer quickly approaching, it’s not too late to lose the weight to get your summer body. To help kick-start your journey, read a best-selling book.
Atkins recently announced the release of “The New Atkins for a New You,” a New York Times bestseller written by Dr. Eric C. Westman, Dr. Stephen D. Phinney and Dr. Jeff S. Volek. The book successfully covers the following topics to start you on a realistic and viable weight loss journey:
* Get real: A good eating plan should understand your cravings and provide realistic strategies to lessen them. A lifestyle change that allows you to eat delicious foods will make a lasting impact on your diet so you don’t feel like you have to “cheat” to eat something good. Consider snack bars or shakes that satisfy your cravings but are still high in protein and low in sugar.
* Personalized approach: Explanations of different phases and eating plans allow for a variety of weight-loss options for people of all sizes. Whether you’re looking to shape up for the summer or lose 100 pounds, the book should discuss permanent eating habits that will allow you to maintain your new weight. Once you know your options and know how to evaluate them, you can make the choices that are right for you.
* Easy as 1-2-3 with meal plans and recipes: Detailed meal plans that make it crystal clear what to eat and how to get started are integral to your success. Once you learn the guidelines, having a wide database of food options and recipes keeps you excited and engaged so your meals don’t become mundane.
* Flexible foods: Whether a vegetarian or full-on carnivore, every reader should be able to reach his or her goals according to their underlying eating principles. The ability to have a wide variety of food options without being limited will make it easier to maintain the new diet even after the summer.
* Scientifically validated: A health book supported by experts and doctors is crucial to your well-being. Scientific papers and studies from leading health journals are also positive indicators that a proposed eating plan is supported and not a “fad diet” that will leave you ill or disappointed in the long term.
The new book demonstrates how Atkins is a sustainable lifestyle and not a short-term diet. Inspirational yet realistic, “The New Atkins for a New You” empowers you to fully get ready and enjoy this summer.
