Atkins Diet

The Atkins diet focuses on low-carbohydrate intake to support weight loss and overall health. Developed in the 1960s by Dr. Robert Atkins, the diet induces ketosis through severely restricting carbohydrate consumption. It progresses through four phases that gradually reintroduce carbs while dieters work towards health and weight goals. Benefits include effective weight loss, better blood sugar control, increased HDL cholesterol, controlled appetite, and anti-inflammatory effects. The flexible diet allows people to customize their carb intake based on preferences and goals.
