In this video, I demonstrate that good Italian is indeed possible on Atkins or a low carb diet. The unique ingredient in this Low Carb Chicken Broccoli Alfredo is the cream cheese in the sauce. As I mentioned in the video, there are lots of different options for to place the sauce on — Spaghetti Squash (demonstrated in the video), Dreamfield Pasta, or one of my favorite, Riced Cauliflower.
INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)
* 1/2 cup butter
* 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese (low fat acceptable)
* 1 teaspoons garlic powder
* 1 clove garlic
* 1 cup heavy cream
* 1/2 cup water
* 1/2 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
* 3 ounces shredded Parmesan cheese
* 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
DIRECTIONS
1. Quarter the Spaghetti Squash, and place in pot to cook for 20 minutes.
2. Fry chicken breast in olive oil, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning
3. Melt butter in a medium, non-stick saucepan over medium heat. Add cream cheese and garlic powder, stirring with wire whisk until smooth. Add water. Add cream, a little at a time, whisking to smooth out lumps. Stir in Parmesan and pepper. Remove from heat when sauce reaches desired consistency. Sauce will thicken rapidly, thin with additional cream if cooked too long.
4. Cook Broccoli.
5. Cut up chicken breasts and combine with broccoli and alfredo sauce.
Serves 8+ people.

Here is the first episode of a two part broadcast explaining why people seem to lose weight on low carbohydrate diets.

In this long Quick Hits video, I discuss whether kids or teenagers (as my daughter oft reminds me) should follow the Atkins Diet as prescribed or a more moderate low carb or carb conscious plan.
I respond by saying that for most teenagers a lower carb approach is probably best, especially not if the choice is not driven by the child themselves. I believe as parents we are called to teach our kids a healthy way of eating, and while acknowledging kids’ environment and choices, we should make and help them choose to eat wisely, which by almost any standard should not include “whites” - refined starches and sugars. There should be no requirement for breading or donuts to be healthy or happy. The challenge with kids and teenagers is therefore school lunch programs and their unhealthy nature.
This is by no means a discouragement for teenagers, who may want to try Atkins Diet due to an internal desire to lose weight. I just want them to be aware of what their decision means.

The reason you cannot lose weight by starving yourself (using a low calorie diet) is because your metabolism will detect any major drop in calories and it will then ADJUST ITSELF by burning fewer calories each day.
For example:
If you begin eating 2,500 calories per day then your metabolism will adjust itself so that your body begins burning 2,500 calories per day.
If you try to starve yourself by suddenly eating 1,000 calories per day then your metabolism will again ADJUST ITSELF so that your body begins to burn only 1,000 calories per day. That’s why you have failed in your past dieting attempts, that’s why you always seem to fail when you try and starve yourself.
Now you know the reason why you can eat 1,000 calories per day and not lose any weight while your friends can eat 2,500 calories per day and not gain any weight.
Also, virtually every person in today’s society is buying mostly “low fat” or “non fat” food at the grocery store, everybody is conscious of the “fat grams” inside the food they buy. However, people are getting fatter than ever by doing this and people are not losing weight by switching to the “low fat lifestyle”.
Those ridiculous “low carb” diets have certainly become popular in recent years, but of course those are just thinly disguised starvation diets. If you don’t think so then check out these facts below about Atkins….
The Atkins Diet limits your carb intake to ONLY 20 grams of “net carbs” per day during the first phase of the diet…….which means that you cannot even eat a single large apple during the first phase of the Atkins Diet (since even a large apple has more than 20 grams of net carbs).
…And if you want to continue through all of the phases of the Atkins Diet, then it will take another 4 MONTHS (16 weeks) before you’ll be allowed to eat just 400 carb calories per day — and any typical restaurant meal has more carbs than that. So this is really just another form of starving yourself (and making yourself MISERABLE), which is not the answer.

This video comes out of another myth that gets propagated out by Atkins Diet bashers that somehow we are more likely to get diabetes by following low carb. Certainly there is no shortage of misinformation on the web:
http://www.atkinsexposed.org/atkins/122/Nutritionists_Warn_Diabetics_to_be_Wary_of_Atkins_Diet.htm
http://www.diabetesuffolk.com/LivingWithDiabetes/The%20Atkins%20diet.htm
Some say we are dangerous for both Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics. Some just type 1 diabetics, but it really couldn’t be further from the truth. As all people, ESPECIALLY diabetics, could benefit from controlling blood glucose levels by carbohydrate monitoring or restriction.
There are two major proponents for Low Carb for diabetics:
Richard Bernstein, Type 1 Diabetic since 1946
http://www.diabetes911.net/about.php
Author of THE DIABETES DIET and Diabetes Solution
Mary Ross Vernon
Chairman of the board, American Society of Bariatric Physicians
Co-Author of Atkins Diabetes Revolution with Robert Atkins
http://tinyurl.com/cbjk76
2007 and 2008 Runner Up for Diabetic Educator of the Year Award
Mary Ross Vernon has been controlling diabetes with an Very Low Carb Diet (similar to Atkins Diet) for many years. She says both her Type 1 and Type 2 patients have benefited from carbohydrate restriction. She also notes that seeking quality physicians to handle the dramatic decrease in insulin requirements is paramount as some patients could be medication free in 3 days! See the attached quote (http://rjr10036.typepad.com/askdrvernon/2007/05/ron_of_sarasota.html).
Recently a number of studies have been released to support this position as well. One of the most notable for describing the failure of the existing recommendation of high carb and regulating with increasing doses of insulin is the study released in 2005 Nutrition and Metabolism magazine, “The case for low carbohydrate diets in diabetes management.” (http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/articlerender.fcgi?artid=1188071&tool=pmcentrez) They detail that the high carbohydrate diet has lead to worse glycemic control, dislipidemia, hypertension, obesity, and cardiovascular disease (CVD). They noted in their review of studies that the low carb followers showed dramatic improvement in comparison to the high carb followers.

Dieting seems to be a national past time! At any given time you have millions of people who are trying to succeed at weight loss, yet the vast majority of these people ultimately fail, either quitting or succeeding, only to gain all the lost weight back again and usually some additional pounds. Low calorie diets, touted by the medical profession and dieticians can work for many people, but we all don’t respond to the same diet in the same way. Low carbohydrate diets tend to work much better for some than simply following a low calorie diet. If your body produces excess insulin, a low carbohydrate diet is going to have a much greater change of working than a low calorie program. Weight loss is not always easy, but it can be made easier once you understand how your body handles food. You can take our Weight Management test to determine if your body is more inclined to respond to a low calorie program and a low carbohydrate diet. Dieting will becomes easier and faster when you are on the program that bests matches your body chemistry. If you are under excessive amounts of stress, cortisol, a hormone from the adrenal glands, is produced in excess. Excess cortisol is one major cause for both weight gain and difficulty with weight loss. Cortisol can be controlled in the body by properly nourishing the adrenal glands so that they are not in a state of exhaustion. Cortisol excess causes weight gain primarily around the mid-section of the body and is easily recognized as one of the many causes of obesity.
