I have checked out every diet under the sun but nothing worked as good as acai berry. I acknowledge they say that pills do not work, nevertheless they definitely worked for me, and they’ve been featured on the Rachael Ray Show too. There’s a free trial on currently at http://batomt.masterfitness.info , why not check it out, what is the worst that could happen?

I’ll attempt to answer this question using nutrition.
Calories are what fuels the body and gives it energy. When one eats more calories than their body needs then those excess calories are coverted and stored in fat cells.
Carbohydrates are a macronutrient used maily to fuel the body. It also helps with the regulating sugar and digesting food.
One gram of carbohydrate has about 4 calories in it. Except for fiber(which is considered a carbohydrate but it has little calories since most of it’s not absorbed).
Now the reason you are gaining weight is cause you didn’t learn how to eat carbs. See you went back to your old eating habits and since carbs contain calories you are packing the calories back on again.
There are about 3,500 calories per a pound of fat.
This is why I hate diets… See once you go off a diet you go back to your old eating habits and you start to gain weight. – This is the fatal flaw in diets. See many do not require a lifestyle change.

The first week of a low carb diet the “weight loss” is only the water weight from the depleted glycogen stores. Glycogen is the temporary storage of converted glucose, the body holds between 1500-3000 calories in storage and glycogen holds 3x their weight in water (like a sponge). So as you deplete this storage, you drain the water. If you eat carbs you refill this storage and the water. Some people do low carb for a week lose the water & pig out on carbs & regain the “weight” overnight. If you are insulin resistant (which most people that gain over 30# are) you will never be able to process carbs as a functioning body can & calories go directly to fat stores. I have been doing low carb for 6 years, my diet is currently very high in seeds, nuts, vegetables as well as meat, eggs, cheese, fats & sometimes berries.
There is no reason to ever go off a low carb way of eating, you slowly re introduce carbs to your way of eating and as long as you don’t exceed 9grams of carbs an hour (144 carbs a day) you will never trigger insulin (the fat storage hormone) no matter the calories. Most of us do low carb most of the time and occasionally cheat and slip back into low carb the next day. If you gain weight, drop your carbs a few grams til you slide back into loss mode. Who wants to spend their life on semi deprivation? The longer you don’t do carbs, they really kind of lose their appeal. (Tastes like wet dough) I still cheat with sugar occasionally. It’s just not a regular part of my life (as it was preAtkins, nearly 6 years ago, when I felt it controlled me & I had no control)
The rungs to reintroduction of carbs in 5 gram units – all available to very active people in as little as 11 weeks. Make sure you do them in order & you can skip a rung if you do not intend to include it in your permanent way of eating, such as the alcohol rung.:
* (minimum week 3 – maximum 25grams day) Acceptable vegetables, larger quantities
* (minimum week 4 – maximum 30grams day) Add 5grams Fresh cheese
* (minimum week 5 – maximum 35grams day) Add 5grams Nuts and seeds
* (minimum week 6 – maximum 40grams day) Add 5grams Berries
* (minimum week 7 – maximum 45grams day) Alcohol can be added if desired
* (minimum week 8 – maximum 50grams day) Add 5grams Legumes
* (minimum week 9 – maximum 55grams day) Add 5grams Other fruits
* (minimum week10 – maximum 60grams day) Add 5grams Starchy vegetables
* (minimum week11 – maximum 65grams day) Add 5grams Whole grains
If you are continuing to lose or maintain (whichever is goal) in week 12 and beyond, you continue to add 5grams a day per week til you reach your personal carb level.
Many people gain weight on high carb, then switch to low carb to lose weight & then are shocked when they return to high carb that they gain weight. (Isn’t insanity defined as doing the exact same thing, in the exact same way and expecting different results??) Many people can return to moderate carb levels but very few can really eat all they want of sugar and maintain weight or health.
You will lose more body fat eating protein and fat (don’t eat protein alone) than not eating AT ALL. To lose weight fast eat all you want but nothing but meat, eggs, healthy oils, mayo, butter and half an avocado a day (you’ll need added potassium). Keep the calories high and the fat percentage high, at least 65% of calories. Adding in green vegetables & some cheese will continue weight loss but at a slower pace.
Your body won’t release fat stores if you lower calories below what it needs. It will slow your metabolism to compensate and store every spare ounce as fat. If you continue lowering your calories, it will continue lowering that set point, til you can survive off nothing and store fat on anything. The body will only release it’s fat stores if it knows there is plenty of food.
Eating carbs while trying to lose body fat is terribly inefficient. When in glycolysis (burning glucose as fuel) you have to lower your calories (which slows your metabolism) and exercise heavily to deplete your glycogen stores before burning body fat.
The core of the Atkins program is converting your body from glycolysis (burning glucose as fuel) to ketosis (burning fat as fuel). You need to keep your fat levels at >65% of your calories, if you don’t your body will still remain in glycolysis by converting 58% of excess protein into glucose (via gluconeogenesis).
It takes minimum of 3 days to convert your body to ketosis, (but only one bite to convert back to glycolysis) you will probably feel sluggish the first week but most people feel better than ever thereafter.
Simple carbohydrates (sugar, flour, bread, cereal, pasta, potatoes, rice) triggers insulin which can store the calories you eat into fat. The more protein you eat the more the fat burning hormone glucagon is released. The more carbohydrate you eat the more the fat storage hormone insulin is released.
High insulin levels promote inflammation, weight g
