What is the Atkins Diet?

Daily American Republic: The Atkins diet works by restricting processed carbohydrates such as high-sugar foods, breads, grains, pasta, cereal and starchy vegetables. These carbohydrates are the body's primary energy source. By reducing carbohydrate intake to less than 20 grams per day, your body burns its secondary energy source (body fat) in a process called ketosis. Consequently, you lose weight.

Atkins is a fine short term diet, and will give you good results if you stay on it, but healthy eating and weight loss come from a permenantly good eating diet.

I have a different opinion. I think it is a systematic diet plan that help us to control our daily carbohydrate intake in stages. As we know high carb can lead to a lot of health problem.
