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 gm of carbohydrates per day. This amount per day is needed for the brain because the central nervous system (CNS) uses only carbohydrates for fuel.
