Atkins diet

Atkins diet. Introduced by Dr. Robert C. Atkins, this diet is a high-protein, high-fat, low-carbohydrate plan that allows for unrestricted amounts of meat, cheese and eggs while restricting carbohydrates, such as sugar, bread, pasta, milk, fruits and vegetables. Atkins dieters use stored fat for energy versus burning glucose from carbohydrate digestion. Burning fat for energy causes weight loss.
