Atkins Diet

One of the most popular low-carb diets today is the Atkins diet. This nutritional plan was developed by Dr Robert Atkins nearly 30 years ago. The basic tenant of the Atkins approach is that each individual person has unique and individual carbohydrate consumption level. By managing your carbohydrate intake you are able to control your weight.

The program consists of four separate phases, known as induction, ongoing weight loss, pre-maintenance, and maintenance. During the initial phase of the program you eliminate all bad carbohydrates from your diet, along with white flours and processed grains. In place of the processed and refined grains you will eat brown grains like whole wheat. In place of the bad carbohydrates you will substitute good carbohydrates from vegetables. Once your body runs out of stored carbohydrates to use for energy it switches to burning fat for energy. As your body starts to lose weight and you approach your target weight you slowly add carbohydrates back into your diet. This process helps you determine where your personal carbohydrate level.

Relacore

Relacore is a dietary supplement that helps you lose weight by suppressing your appetite. The active ingredient in Relacore is Magnolia bark, an ancient Chinese herb, which has been in use for almost 2000 years. As the body undergoes stress or anxiety a natural hormone Cortisol is released into the blood stream. Cortisol is completely natural and occurs in everyone’s body. When cortisol is released it triggers an increase in appetite. By countering this increase in appetite the goal is to cut down on caloric intake and lose weight.

While it is possible to lose weight just by eating less, most people will only see modest results. For the product to have it maximum effect, you should combine this supplement with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
