Dr. Atkins Diet

Probably the most well known of all popular fad diets, the Atkins diet works on the theory that your body burns both carbohydrates and fat as fuel for its energy needs. Carbohydrate is the first fuel to be metabolized. However, when you cut down sufficiently on your intake of carbohydrates, your body converts from the metabolic pathway of burning carbohydrate to burning fat as the primary energy source. This results in weight loss. Thousands of people claim to have lost significant amounts of weight on the Atkins Diet.
