Atkins Diet: What To Know

Overview

The aim:

Weight loss.

The claim:

You’ll lose up to 15 pounds within two weeks, and eat lots of fatty foods. 

The theory:

The body is an engine; carbs are the gas that makes it go. Limiting carbs makes the body turn to an alternative fuel – stored fat. So sugars and “simple starches” like potatoes, white bread, and rice are all but squeezed out; protein and fat like chicken, meat, and eggs are embraced. Fat is burned; pounds come off.

Balanced Diet

These diets fall within accepted ranges for the amount of protein, carbs, fat and other nutrients they provide.

Pros & Cons

  • Fatty food guilt-free
  • Quick weight loss
  • Goodbye to sweets and bread
  • More calorie-restricted than you might think
