Nutritional Factsheet
Low Carbohydrate Diet - The Atkins Diet
Supplemental Help
Every ‘low-carber’ seeks out the best protein-rich foods to add to their diet. Whey protein powder can be added to foods or made into a delicious shake or smoothie, to provide a virtually carb-free meal.
Chromium picolinate is a supplement with an excellent safety record in human studies. This mineral has been found to regulate blood sugar levels, potentially helping to control sugar cravings.
Adding nutritional supplements to a low carbohydrate diet will not only enhance your health, but also improve your chances of reaching your goals.

Chromium Picolinate
A mineral that has been shown to regulate blood sugar levels and reduce cravings for sweet foods.
More and more people attempting to lose weight are adopting low carbohydrate diets, such as those made popular by authors such as Barry Sears (The Zone) and Dr. Robert Atkins.
These diets are based on the premise that eating certain carbohydrates upset blood sugar control, stimulate appetite and ultimately cause increased storage of body fat.
Because of the omission of certain foods, nutritional supplements are of vital importance for anyone on this type of dietary regime.
A comprehensive multivitamin and mineral is an important addition to any weight reduction programme. It acts as an ‘insurance policy’ to make sure that you are getting a good range of nutrient that the body requires for healthy function.
Due to the omission of wholegrains, pulses and certain fruit, low carbohydrate diets can be too low in dietary fibre for efficient digestion and elimination. Adding a fibre supplement such as psyllium husk seeds with plenty of water can effectively ensure regular bowel movements.
