Is it true that Atkins works simply because its a low-calorie diet?
No. While some people who do Atkins may eat fewer calories than before, it is not because the programme is restrictive or unduly limits food intake. They may be eating fewer calories because they are generally less hungry and less obsessed with food. On the other hand, studies show that someone doing Atkins can eat more calories than does a low-fat dieter – and lose more weight.
