The Atkins Diet is a low-carb, not a no-carb plan. People frequently mistake Phase 1 of Atkins 20, for the entire Atkins plan. During Phase 1, the plan allows dieters to eat 20 grams of net carbohydrates (carbohydrates that impact one's blood sugar level, calculated by: total grams of carbs minus fiber) daily, with 12 â 15g net carbohydrates coming from a full array of colorful, nutrient-dense vegetables.
For comparison, a regular meal plan should include 225 to 325 grams of carbs daily, based on a 2,000-calorie diet, according to Institute of Medicine guidelines. Researchers studying low-carb diets design menus containing 20 to 100 grams of carbs per day for weight loss, reports Todayâs Dietitian. While such low-carb diets facilitate weight loss and keep blood sugar under control, remember that the best way to lose weight -- and keep it off for the long term -- is to create a diet you can stick with and to drop weight at the rate of 1 to 2 pounds weekly.
