Many supporters of this diet claim that you can lose weight by eating foods rich in fat and protein, and avoid foods high in carbohydrates. The Atkins diet was designed by Dr. Robert C. Atkins and named after him. His Atkins diet book is also 1972' s best-selling diet book. Although the fat content is high, this eating habit does not increase LDL (harmful cholesterol), although it may happen in some people. Another main reason why people lose weight is that when people eat less carbohydrates and more protein, their diet will automatically decrease, so they consume less calories without realizing it.
Atkins diet is divided into four stages, the first stage (guidance): this stage includes taking 20 grams of fat every day for two weeks. Vegetables with high fat, high protein and low carbohydrate, such as green leafy vegetables, indicate that your weight loss plan has begun. The second stage (balance): After two weeks, start adding nuts, low-carbohydrate vegetables and a small amount of fruit. The third stage (fine-tuning): When you feel closer to your goal, you can add more carbohydrates to your diet until your weight loss slows down. Stage 4 (Maintenance): You can restore healthy carbohydrates in your diet.
