Dr. Nishant Rao Says Medically-Supervised Diets are More Successful than Mediterranean, Paleo and Atkins

Detroit, MI, Sept. 29, 2017 -- The Mediterranean, Atkins and Paleo Diets all have a few key items in common: they all eliminate processed carbohydrates according to Diet Doc’s medical director, Dr. Nishant Rao. Excess carbohydrates in the diet are one of today’s key contributors to weight gain, increased inflammation, blood sugar spikes, cardiovascular diseases, chronic pain and degenerative diseases that have all become so common amongst the population. “Processed carbs such as those found in white bread, pasta, ice cream, and more can have a dramatic impact on our blood sugar and therefore the primary energy balancing hormone, insulin. Hence, eliminating processed carbs has to the be primary omission from any successful diet, and as such, Diet Doc’s doctor-supervised diet plans recommend the same,” states Dr. Rao. The Atkins diet fully eliminates carbs, while the Paleo generally does as well. The Mediterranean Diet minimizes carbohydrate intake and is considered to be one of the best options for heart health.

Though these popular diets often trigger weight loss and improve health overall, Dr. Rao has concerns with regards to the fat intake from each of these diets seeing as how these limits are fairly unrestricted. “The Atkins Diet is primarily getting all energy from fat. The Paleo is moderate and the Mediterranean is low to moderate.” The types of fats are also all emphasized as being non-hydrogenated and unprocessed as well, however the Atkins and Paleo Diet fats tend to be animal based, while on the Mediterranean they tend to be balanced, leaning to plant based. So, while there are some commonalities between these diets, Dr. Rao recommends that instead of narrowing the scope to either a historic regional diet (Mediterranean), a very historic poorly understood diet (paleo) or an extreme weight loss diet (Atkins), “Try a medically-supervised option like Diet Doc, which uses the science behind the successes of these three and builds programs without stubborn dogma,” Dr. Rao says.
