Atkins Diet
Developed by Robert Atkins, M.D.,
The Atkins diet regimen is a low carbohydrate, high protein diet. Atkins Diet proponents claim carbohydrates feed the fat in your body. You don't suffer from the common weight loss problem of constant hunger. His program encourages weight loss and better health by forcing the body to use stored body fat as fuel rather than metabolized carbohydrates. The basis of his diet is to eat a lot fat and proteins and to consume only a few carbohydrates, which puts the body in a state of ketosis, which increases metabolism and balances blood sugar. With this diet you feel full longer than consuming carbohydrates. Once weight loss has occurred, you start a maintenance and ratios of carbs and proteins/fat is changed. The plan balances insulin and glucose by reducing carbohydrate consumption and increasing protein and fat.
