Read More »It’s time for a fresh start! Are you ready to cleanse your system of all those holiday goodies, take-out food and all the other binge eating while you were binge watching in 2020? A low carb lifestyle naturally detoxes your system of sugar and refined carbs by focusing on fiber-rich vegetables, protein and healthy fats found in nourishing, nutrient-rich light meals like soups, salads and smoothies, and here’s why I know. Years ago, before I ever tried Atkins, I was a vegetarian, and I was also a firm believer in fasting. I’d do a vegetable juice fast one week a year, and Intermittent Fasting (IF) one day a week in the hopes to “detox” from all the carbs I was eating normally. Then I got my master’s degree in nutrition, and with my knowledge of physiology and biochemistry, I realized that the “detoxing” I was feeling was partly due to ketosis, when you’re burning fat for fuel, instead of carbs. From then on, I embraced Atkins’ sustainable low carb and keto-friendly lifestyle and its detoxing and cleansing qualities. My suggestion for a balanced and natural “detox” is to try Atkins 40 if you’ve been doing Atkins 100, and if you’ve been doing Atkins 40, go down to Atkins 20 for a couple weeks. You can take it to the next level by boosting your vegetable intake and incorporating more plant-based meals into your menus. If you’d like, although it’s not necessary, you can incorporate Intermittent Fasting (IF) to give your body a natural digestion break. I’ve put together a list of delicious low carb recipes you can incorporate into your detox period, which should help you feel lighter and clear-headed after the heavier foods of the holidays.
