Atkins Diet

Those who go for Atkins diet, change their food intake lifetime i.e. the restriction of processed and refined carbohydrates. In Atkins diet, dieters are encouraged to have nutrient-rich unprocessed food.
e.g. meat.
This concept goes against many of the established facts in health communities. But those who practise this diet have to change their eating habits on a long-term basis. Foods like potato, sweets, pasta etc. are completely eliminated from dieters.

The first phase or 'induction phase' goes for 14 days or 2 weeks. During this period, dieters are cautioned to follow all instructions closely. In this diet type, the body is transformed in to a state where body uses fats for energy. This state is called 'Ketosis'. In the very first phase, the results of weight loss are seen which are very much prone to weight gain if the second phase instructions are not taken care of. This phase is very difficult to execute as some dieters can't obey the restrictions.

During the second phase, the diet restrictions are relieved a little. Here, carbohydrate levels are allowed to increase as some vegetables are allowed. This phase is relatively easy for dieters. Once the weight goal is achieved in this phase, the dieters reach a critical carb level for maintenance.
