Hello
What is the GREAT difference in this diets (Atkins, Ketogenic , Paleo Diet) i read some about each one and seems same well i wish start with Atkins but i`m not sure if can use supplements with that?
Thanks
These diets are very different from one another. Here's a quick breakdown.
The Atkins Diet:
is High Fat, Moderate Protein, LOW CARB diet.
It is something like
F/P/C: 60/35/5.
Food choices are fatty proteins like salmon, beef, whole eggs, chicken (dark meat), pork,bacon, sausage, etc. Extra fats can be taken from basically any saturates, monounsaturated, or omega-3 fat you prefer. Butter, coconut oil, heavy cream its all fair game! You simply have to keep carbs below 20-30 grams per day coming strictly from indirect sources ONLY.
Ketogenic diet: There are several different types of ketogenic diets;
1.
TKD: On a
TKD, the diet is all protein/fats with a small amount of usually simple carbohydrates ingested pre and post workout only. There are not cheat meals, no carb days, simply carbs pre and post workout.
2.
CKD: A little more of a practical diet for training athletes. This variation consists of usually 6 strict ketogenic days in a row followed by ONE day of HIGH carb intake. The fat intake is supposed to be LOW during the HIGH carb intake day. After the 1 carb day, the protein/fat days continue again for 6 days followed by another carb day. Typically the breakdown is something like:
Pro/Fat days: F/P/C: 50/45/<5 OR 50-60/45-35/<5
Carb days: F/P/C: 10/25/65 OR even higher on the carbs w/ lower fat and protein.
3.
Strict Ketogenic: 7 days a week of ULTRA low carb w/ High fat and Protein.
Typically this type of diet is a HIGH Fat/ Moderate Protein diet. It can be moderate fat/high protein,
BUT it is always LOW CARB, with no refeeds or cheat meals (containing carbs).
Atkins is a
strict keto diet.
4.
Bodybuilding variations:
Palumbo Diet: High Protein/ Moderate "healthy" fats/ LOW Carb, w/ ONE cheat MEAL per week. The proteins are typically all low-moderate fat proteins, typically lean proteins. The meals are split into 6 feedings with 2-3 meals being whey isolate with Natty PB, 2 meals being LEAN protein with raw nuts, 1-2 egg meals, and 1 Fatty protein meal i.e. Salmon or Lean beef w/an oil & vinegar green salad w/ no vegetables. The fats on this variation are more strict in selection than any of the other varying forms of a ketogenic diet variation.
Sample foods:
Proteins: Chicken, Turkey, White fish, Egg whites, Omega-3 eggs, Steak, Lean beef, Salmon, Tuna, etc.
Fats: Natural PB, RAW nuts (almonds/cashews/walnuts ARE preferred), whole egg yolks (omega-3 eggs), Natural nut butters, EVOO (raw), Macadamia nut oil.
Usually the lean protein meals are paired with raw nuts, the WPI shakes are paired with natty nut butter or tbsp of EVOO or MNO, and the Fatty protein meal is paired with an oil-dressing based green leaf salad. The cheat meal is the SAME night each week as the last meal of that day. The cheat meal is to be limited to 1 meal lasting no more than 2 hours. ANYTHING goes during the cheat meal. DO NOT OVEREAT. Eat until you are satisfied, but do not overdo it.
Paleo Diet: The Paleolithic diet is also referred to as the hunter-gatherer OR caveman diet. It is NOT necessarily a ketogenic diet at all. The peleo diet typically includes the following:
-LEAN animal proteins
-Seafood: fish, mollusks, invertebraetes, shellfish
-Nuts
-Leafy greens
-Fruits
-Vegetables
All of these types of diets have their place and can be utilized to gain or lose weight (fat). Hope this helped at least a little.
