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-carb diets allow you to have somewhere around 50 to 150 grams of carbohydrates each day, MayoClinic.com reports. Since carbohydrates offer 4 calories per gram, this amounts to a minimal 200 to 600 calories from carbohydrates. Some plans make you go as low as 20 grams per day, or 80 calories from carbs, which is far less than the recommendation.
