Can some 1 explain the Atkins diet in detail for me? I wanna do the Atkins diet so i can go from 206 to 180. Can some 1 list the steps of starting the diet and completeing it. Also i do not mind hard core dieting.
buy the book. or get it out of the library. its quite a detailed process.
in detail, see the wikipedia.
for overview: eat little or no carbs (carbohydrates) and force your body to consume the energy stored in your body in various forms. it is done in stages. each stage is stressful to your body, difficult (yes, hard core) and totally unnecessary to loose 26 pounds.
for that amount of weight, you are better off changing your eating habits, preferably on a permanent basis. eat fresh plenty of fresh seasonal fruits and veggies, eat modest amount of animal products, and avoid fast food and processed foods. invest in yourself by spending a few more bucks at buying food that has no unpronounceable ingredients.
the atkins diet is way over rated. don’t do it.

All i know is it low carb high fat. It will probably help you lose weight quick but you won’t be able to have bread, pasta etc (all the good stuff!). I don’t know alot else but there are websites that will tell you more. I can’t think of them right now but will come back and repost if i remember.

atkins diet is a diet that minimizes your consumption of carbohydrates (breads, pastas, rice, all kinds of sweets) but you can eat as many as oil and fats that you want.
in my opinion, you loose weight in this diet because of less carbohydrate in diet and it becomes effective because fats and oil does not make you hungry easily. however, protein also prolongs your satiety besides increasing your metabolism
