So, what are the best yoga diets for weight loss? Well, here are a few diets Yogis all over the world swear by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contents<\/p> The Famous Atkins Diet<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u200b<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The Atkins diet is a version of the keto diet developed<\/u><\/a> by Dr. Robert C Atkins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It goes by many other names including the low carb diet, the low carb high fat diet and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s a very basic, easy-to-follow eating plan that’ll help you stay in shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tell Me More<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u200b<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The idea behind the ketogenic diet<\/u><\/a> or Atkins diet is to help your body focus on burning unnecessary fats instead of burning carbohydrates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If there are no carbs to break down in the body, the liver will break down fatty acids as an energy source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This energy source is called ketosis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Atkins diet<\/u><\/a> is divided into four phases<\/p>\n\n\n\n Phase 1:<\/strong> Starting your keto journey with a bang, you’re allowed under 20 grams of carbs per day for the next two weeks. You’ll be eating low-carb vegetables and food high in fat and protein<\/p>\n\n\n\n Phase 2:<\/strong> You’ll be adding a few food sources back into the diet such as nuts and fruits<\/p>\n\n\n\n Phase 3:<\/strong> This is the phase where you’ll proceed with your meal plan until you’re \u201calmost there.\u201d Once you’re close to your weight loss goal you can reintroduce more low-carb sources back into your diet<\/p>\n\n\n\n Phase 4:<\/strong> The maintenance phase. The idea of this phase is to be able to eat as many healthy carbs as you want without regaining your weight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The key words are healthy carbs and moderation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some yogis prefer not to follow the phases and will rather cut down on carbs and eat fruits and vegetables from day one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As long as you follow the no-carb to low-carb guidelines you’ll be seeing results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In short, significantly cutting down on your carb intake will boost your metabolism and burn excess fat in your body.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Apart from being one of the most proven to work weight loss programs the keto diet also offers numerous health benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This diet was originally used by health care professionals to treat and control epilepsy in children. Let’s look at some of the other benefits you can expect from this diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Suppressed appetite<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u200b<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The biggest cause of people not following through on a diet is because of hunger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you cut down on carbs<\/u><\/a> the way you would in the keto diet, your appetite significantly decreases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Filling up on healthy fats and protein has been proven to make you feel more satisfied and fuller for longer periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bye-Bye belly fat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u200b<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Fat is stored in various areas in the body. You already know how stubborn abdominal fat can be but it’s also extremely dangerous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Visceral fat that’s formed in the abdominal cavity also surrounds organs inside the body causing insulin levels to rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Low carb diets are known for being most effective to reduce abdominal cavity fat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Listen to your heart<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u200b<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The keto diet significantly lowers triglyceride levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Triglycerides form in the arteries and are responsible for heart diseases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The higher the levels the higher your risk for a heart attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Clear skin<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u200b<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Acne<\/u><\/a> is one of the most difficult skin problems to get rid of and treat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are many causes of acne but one of the main culprits are refined sugar and carbohydrates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It’s no wonder that cutting down on carbs help to clear skin and even treat and prevent acne.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Brain power<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u200b<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Studies suggest that following a keto diet can possibly prevent Alzheimer’s disease and increase focus and concentration with children because of neuroprotective benefits the diet offers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some food groups will be reintroduced later on in the diet so this is only a guideline:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let’s look at some of the food you can add to your diet:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Here’s an example of what you’ll be eating per day:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Sattvic diet also known as the yogic diet is based on yoga literature and beliefs.

Protein is included in the form of nuts and seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n No preservatives, additives or artificial colors are to be consumed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vegetables and fruit must be grown naturally.
