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.
And when you see headlines about low carbohydrate diets in the news, the low carb diets studied are often much lower in carbohydrates as well. In one large study of diets, for example, researchers defined a low carbohydrate diet as any diet that allowed a maximum intake of 60 grams of carbohydrates per day. While another recent study defined a low carbohydrate diet as less than 40 grams per day.
