What is Atkins diet plan?

It is nothing but a weigh loss meal plan offering high fat, low carbohydrate, but at the same time Atkins diet plan gives the energy normally the body requires.   

Atkins Diet plan may not be suitable for vegetarians, because this diet plan recommends for eating meats and cheeses rather than breads, fruits and vegetables. 

Atkins diet changes the body metabolism. As per Atkins diet plan carbohydrate intake is reduced. 

Normally human body is capable of burning fat and carbohydrates to produce energy for body’s function. Glucose is the first fuel for producing energy to body function. This Glucose comes from Carbohydrate. 

As per Atkins diet plan when the intake of Carbohydrates is reduced, fat is compensated as fuel for producing energy to body function. When fat is used as fuel for producing energy to body, weight loss is occurring.

It is the general tendency, that low fat and high carbohydrate diets alone is the solution for weight loss.

But as per Atkins diet plan reverses this fact to those who want weight loss. The Atkins diet plan recommends eating meats and cheeses rather than breads, fruits and vegetables, fat and protein rich foods.

When the intake of carbohydrates are reduced which is essential for producing energy in the form of sugar to the body, the body naturally compensates the fate as fuel for producing energy to the body. 

The process of burning fat as fuel may be called as ketosis. Ketones are released through breath and urine during the process of burning fat as fuel, which naturally enables for weight loss. The process of burning fat as fuel also restricts the production of insulin, so additional fat formation in the body is also restricted.   

Atkins diet plan recommends for taking three meals per day and does not recommends for skipping any meals or go for walking without eating. 

The plan recommends for eating fat and protein rich foods like fish, eggs meat, butter, olive oil, sunflower and other vegetable oils.

So if properly followed the Atkins diet plan may be an effective solution to those who want to reduce weight.
