Since its release, Dr. Atkins’ New Diet Revolution has sold millions of copies. The promise of fast weight loss without having to suffer through the usual low-fat, low-calorie, low-taste, diet that overweight people were used to, generated widespread appeal. However, that appeal wouldn’t have lasted over the years if the diet didn’t work. The fact is, that the Atkins Diet does work. How and why it works, however, aren’t as magic as it all sounds.

All About the Atkins Diet

Dr. Robert Atkins originally created the Atkins diet in the 1970′s. The popularity of this low-carb diet reached its zenith about ten years ago, but it is believed that today as many as twenty-five million Americans may be on low-carb diets at any given time.

How Does a Low-Carb Diet Work?

The Atkins diet is based on Dr. Atkins’ theory that the over-consumption of carbohydrates is the root of most people’s problems with weight gain. The body is fueled by sugar, whether it is the natural sugar found in foods or the processed sugar added to many foods. When your body runs out of sugar to use as fuel, it uses carbohydrates instead. Carbohydrates are long chains of sugars, which the body breaks down into sugar. Atkins believes that when people limit the carbohydrates available, they force the body to use its fat reserves as fuel.

Don’t Be Confused About Low Carb Diets – 7 Key Points Explained

With all of the conflicting studies and fuzzy interpretation of

information, it’s no wonder that confusion reigns when it comes

to the value and safety of low-carb diets. It seems like heated

debates are raging everywhere!

Whether it’s Atkins, the South Beach or some other low-carb plan,

as many as 30 million Americans are following a low-carb diet.

Advocates contend that the high amount of carbohydrates in our

diet has led to increasing problems with obesity, diabetes, and

other health problems. Critics, on the other hand, attribute

obesity and related health problems to over-consumption of

calories from any source, and lack of physical activity. Critics

also express concern that the lack of grains, fruits, and

vegetables in low-carbohydrate diets may lead to deficiencies of

some key nutrients, including fiber, vitamin C, folic acid, and

several minerals.

Best Fad Diets

What are the best fad diets? It’s a question I’m often asked. Unfortunately, I’m not really in favour of fad diets, so it’s a difficult one to answer.

It’s not that I’m against all fad diets on principle. But if there’s one message I’d like you to take away from my website, Obesity Cures.com, it’s that there’s no silver bullet. No one shot cure … no best fad diets.

That’s the message I hope you take away from this article.

Atkins Diet

The Atkins Diet is a high-protein, low-carbohydrate weight loss diet developed by Robert Atkins, M.D., during the 1960s. In the early 1990s, Dr. Atkins brought his diet back into the nutrition spotlight with the publication of his best-selling book “Dr. Atkins’ New Diet Revolution.

The Atkins Diet severely restricts the consumption of carbohydrate-rich foods and encourages the consumption of protein and fat. The diet is divided into four phases: Induction, Ongoing Weight Loss, Pre-maintenance, and Maintenance. During the Induction phase (the first 14 days of the diet), carbohydrate intake is limited to no more than 20 grams per day. No fruit, bread, grains, starchy vegetables, or dairy products (except cheese, cream, and butter) are allowed during this phase.
