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.
Low carbohydrate diets are common for weight loss, but how many carbs can you eat and still lose weight? The Institute of Medicine suggests a minimum requirement of 130 grams of carbohydrates per day. This amount per day is needed for the brain because the central nervous system (CNS) uses only carbohydrates for fuel. When carbohydrate intake is under 130 grams per day, carbohydrate is âmadeâ from proteins and fat in the body to send to the CNS for fuel.
