The Atkins Diet is a low-carbohydrate eating plan designed to help people lose weight and improve their health. It focuses on reducing sugar and starch intake while encouraging the consumption of proteins and healthy fats. By limiting carbs, the body enters a state called ketosis, where it burns fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. The diet is divided into four phases, starting with a strict limit on carbs and gradually increasing them as weight loss progresses. Many followers of the Atkins Diet report feeling more energetic and satisfied, as protein and fats can help curb hunger and cravings.
