Atkins

The Atkins diet is a low-carbohydrate eating plan aimed at promoting weight loss and improving health. It emphasizes reducing sugars and starches, prompting the body to burn fat for energy instead of carbs. The diet progresses through phases, starting with very low carb intake, then gradually reintroducing healthy carbs. This approach may help control blood sugar and appetite, potentially leading to weight management. However, it requires careful planning to ensure nutritional balance and should be discussed with a healthcare provider before starting.
