Atkins Isn't Just for the Wealthy
Summary:
Many Americans choose heavily processed foods, believing healthier options are too costly. This misconception fuels poor dietary habits.Article:
Every day, countless Americans opt for heavily processed foods, mistakenly assuming healthier choices are beyond their budget. According to Colette Heimowitz, vice president of education and research at Atkins Health & Medical Information Services, this belief is not only incorrect but also harmful.
"Labeling whole foods as a luxury accessible only to the wealthy is detrimental," Heimowitz explains. "This notion benefits processed food manufacturers but couldn't be further from reality. By promoting this misconception, these parties contribute to unhealthy eating habits."
The Atkins Nutritional Approach, along with similar diets, has proven effective for weight loss and overall health. A study published in the November 2004 Journal of Experimental and Clinical Cardiology found that a low-carb diet significantly reduces body weight, triglycerides, LDL (bad cholesterol), blood glucose, and increases HDL (good cholesterol).
"One of Atkins' biggest strengths is its versatility for various budgets," Heimowitz emphasizes. "With a bit of creativity, people can enjoy the health benefits of whole foods without resorting to gourmet meals."
It's a myth that following Atkins means relying on pricey cuts of steak. In fact, affordable cuts of meat and poultry are perfect for hearty stews and casseroles, offering the same nutritional value as more expensive choices.
Canned fish and budget-friendly options like cod and catfish can also assist in maintaining a low-carb diet without breaking the bank. Tofu is another economical source of protein that can add variety to meals.
Frozen vegetables and fruits ?" as long as they contain no added sugars ?" can be more affordable than out-of-season fresh produce while still delivering essential nutrients. Options like frozen broccoli, spinach, and berries are excellent, low-carb flavor enhancers.
