How Does the Atkins Diet Work and is it Really Effective?
The Atkins diet is basically a low carbohydrate, high fat diet plan. This was popularized in the 70’s and Dr. Atkins was the first to show how the Atkins Diet work; or not work. Basically the aim is to eat more protein and fats to make the dieter feel full longer and fewer carbohydrates. Theoretically, this diet coupled with exercise would burn more excess fats faster. Truth is this will result in a chemical reaction. When a person eats more protein compared to carbohydrates the body will start to more excess fat than it can burn. This is called the ketogenic effect wherein once the body tries to burn more excess fat than it can it produces ketones which are chemical residue resulting from broken down fats. These chemicals will then enter the blood stream, which will increase the acidity of the body. This is how the Atkins Diet work, by having a good side and a number of bad sides.
