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.
According to the 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, carbohydrates should make up 45 to 65 percent of a person's total daily calorie intake. Any amount less than this could be considered low carb. For someone consuming 2,000 calories a day, this is about 225 to 325 grams of carbohydrates per day.Most low-carb diets limit carbohydrate intake to between 50 to 150 grams per day, depending on the diet.ow-carb diets can be an effective way to lose weight, but the exact definition of low carb and the precise recommendations for carbohydrate intake depend on the particular diet you choose to follow.
