The Atkins diet is a low-carbohydrate diet that is generally recommended for weight loss. Those who support this diet claim that by avoiding high-carbohydrate foods, you can lose weight while eating the required amount of protein and fat. In the past 12 years or so, more than 20 studies have shown that a low-carbohydrate diet that does not require calorie counting can effectively reduce weight and improve various health conditions.
