The Atkins diet is based on an almost exclusive consumption (90%) of proteins from red meats, sausages, cheeses, eggs, shellfish, butters, margarines, oils, mayonnaise, butters, creams or whole yogurt, etc.
You can only eat 10% carbohydrates and from vegetables and fruits. It does not allow the consumption of foods such as pasta, flour, rice, bread and pastries, legumes, sugar, alcoholic beverages and milk. Green vegetables should not exceed 50 grams per meal.

He bases his diet on the fact that people suffer from overweight problems due to the intake of carbohydrates. For Atkins, insulin is the hormone responsible for weight gain. The ingestion of sugar or any carbohydrate causes this hormone to be stimulated, which is why, according to this erroneous theory, sugar is the most dangerous food. However, if fat is consumed, the secretion of acetone is stimulated, suppressing the feeling of hunger.

Phases of the Atkins diet
The new Atkins diet also recommends not spending more than six hours without eating, therefore, bet on four or five daily intakes. Three main meals and two snacks.

Like the dukan diet, the new Atkins diet consists of different phases:

Induction: It consists of the body going from burning mainly carbohydrates (in the form of glucose) to burning mainly fat (including your body fat) for energy. It allows you to eat protein and a small percentage of carbohydrates that come from vegetables (only six full cups of uncompacted salad and two cups of cooked vegetables a day). Fats, at this time, are essential on the Atkins diet. In fact, it does not offer limitations in terms of any type of lipid.
Continuous weight loss: The carbohydrate intake is gradually increased (according to the tolerance of each individual, controlling that they do not gain weight) and other foods such as grains and seeds are included). He also recommends the consumption of salt to avoid fatigue and taking vitamin supplements such as omega 3.
Prior maintenance: It also leaves it up to the individual to incorporate more food groups according to their tolerance threshold, especially carbohydrates that come from fruits with more carbohydrates, starchy vegetables, and whole grains.
Maintenance for life: Knowing already what the threshold of each individual is, he recommends following the previous maintenance phase but aims to turn to fats – and not carbohydrates – when they feel hungry.

Will i lose weight?
With Atkins you can lose weight quickly, yes, you run the risk of suffering some damage such as ketosis. This consists of a high concentration of ketone bodies in the blood and urine (the product of the incomplete breakdown of fat when there is no glucose – from carbohydrates – available in the cells for energy). Ketosis occurs because the body does not have carbohydrates that are the main source of energy. Ketosis causes nausea, dizziness, and fatigue. It can also cause kidney damage.

On the other hand, increasing the group of lipids runs the risk of suffering from cardiovascular diseases and others such as cancer.
