Atkins Diet: Daily Sweetener Limit

In this video, I deal with a much overlooked section of the Induction phase (and latter phases). It covers the daily sweetener limit. Dr. Atkins recommends no more than three servings or packets of sweeteners per day. That means each Diet Coke with Splenda or packet of Splenda in your coffee is counted against that limit. Why did he set the limit at three when the Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) levels set by the FDA are usually much higher 6-10 cans of soda for Saccharin or Splenda depending on body weight? First, he of course urged to eat as much unprocessed food as possible, and adding additional chemicals to your diet or sweetened foods was never seen as a mainstay of the diet. It was also useful to break ancient eating habits of dessert following each meal. To reward yourself consistently with a “sweet.” Your tongue or tastebuds could then start to relearn how to taste the more subtle sweetness of vegetables and fruit. Finally he wanted to prevent the cephalic insulin reaction from stalling the diet followers. The more sweetness the greater likelihood of that insulin release. Thanks for watching!
