Comments on Atkins Diet

The Atkins diet is the focus of these comments from the American Heart Association:

“The Atkins diet holds the controversial belief that low fat is not the only way to go for a healthier lifestyle and weight control. Dr. Atkins blamed carbohydrates (grains, pastas, fruits, potatoes) for weight gain. He believed that if you reduced your carbohydrate intake then you would lose weight. Too many carbohydrates in your diet encourage your body to retain fat.”

When the body absorbs simple carbohydrates quickly, it causes an insulin response that speeds the conversion of calories to fat. The plan focuses on the consumption of nutrient-dense, unprocessed foods and vita-nutrient supplementation. It also restricts processed and refined carbohydrates (which make up to approximately more then 50 per cent of people s diets). It encourages you to eliminate sugar from your diet as this contributes to a slower metabolism.
 
The Atkins diet is designed to be a program on which you can maintain a healthy weight for a lifetime and it is highly suitable (but not restricted) to those who prefer eating animal protein. The diet offers people who have failed on a low-fat diet a healthy, effective and safe alternative. Instead of carbs and sugar, eaters are allowed plenty of fat and protein.

Going for Cheap VoIP Services

Cheap VoIP services enable you to make phone calls at a fraction of the cost of a traditional phone service. They are provided by companies that use VoIP or voice over Internet Protocol technology that allows voice signals to be transmitted over the Internet.

One reason the VoIP services are cheap is that the service providers don t have to invest on infrastructure. They use the existing Internet infrastructure to route voice traffic. This reduces costs, because the VoIP services provider only has to pay termination fees to telecom majors when the call passes beyond the net to traditional phone lines.

If the call is made from an Internet-enabled phone to another Internet-enabled phone then the phone provider incurs no cost. This provides big savings that are passed on to the customer.
