Information on The Atkins Diet:

Counting Carbs - The net carb count helps you count carbs that impact blood sugar. Good carbs have a lower blood sugar impact.

At Atkins, we believe in helping you live the best life you possibly can. And it all starts with the Atkins Nutritional Approach, which gives you the power to eat right, lose weight and keep the weight off for a lifetime of healthy living.

When you eat too many carbohydrates (carbs), your body burns some of those carbs for energy and stores the excess carbs as fat. When you eat fewer carbs - especially white flour and sugar, your body begins burning fat as its primary fuel source.

The Atkins Nutritional Approach is a powerful, long-term plan for weight loss and weight management that works unlike any diet you've ever seen or tried. Atkins is a totally different way to look at food - it will show you that eating the right foods can actually change the way your body works - change you from a fat-storing to a fat-burning machine. Throw in some essential, yet fun, activity and you're on your way to the sexy results you've always wanted.

That's how Atkins works - you learn to eat the right foods and change your body from a carb-burning to a fat-burning machine.
