A powerful way to increase your focus is to create a picture of success that you can use at any time to reinforce your goals and game plan. First, create a detailed picture of what it will be like to reach the weight-loss and exercise goals you have created for yourself. Include all of your senses in the picture (how you think and feel, what you see in your surroundings, what you hear people telling you, etc.). Write a paragraph or draw a picture of what it would be like to reach your weight-loss and exercise goals. Second, create a picture of success in achieving your game-plan strategies. Picture yourself exhibiting perfect motivation toward your goal. See yourself exercising when you aren’t in the mood and choosing healthy foods in your most vulnerable situations. Keep these paragraphs or pictures somewhere where you will see them on a daily basis. Review them in your mind until they become real. The more you rehearse your success, the easier it will be to focus.

A glance at the list of food sources for these essential micronutrients quickly shows you how important fruity vegetables, nuts and pulses are, precisely the food groups you severely restrict on a classic low-carb diet. Fish, chicken and red meat supply a small number of these nutrients as well, but many are simply not present in these foods. And, of course, normally we eat these foods cooked, and the cooking process can severely deplete the nutritional value. A fat and protein-oriented diet will not provide the nutritional profile you need for good health.

But Atkins does recommend supplements, you may reply, surely that will ensure I get the right nutritional profile. Unfortunately Atkins was no micronutritionist, and the supplement recommendations, though they go some way to compensating for a very skewed diet, are not well thought through and in some areas are completely inadequate. For example, the importance of vitamin K, resistant starch, flavonoids and sterols to a healthy diet is simply not recognized.

Moreover there is plenty of evidence about the benefits of whole foods for health, such as the importance of fibre for healthy digestive functioning. Supplements can support a healthy eating programme, but your starting point for good nutrition should be the whole foods you eat at every meal.
