The craze for low carbs comes mainly from the popularity of the Atkins' books. The Atkins diet is a four-phase eating program, combined with vitamin and mineral supplements, as well as regular exercise. Dr. Atkins said there are crucial unrecognized factors in our eating habits which make us fat.
Diet is often the first step to achieve such a goal. There are lots of diet regimens around but two of which have become increasingly popular nowadays. These are the South Beach diet and the Atkins diet. The two have several similarities as well as differences. Both diets concentrate on the idea of low carbohydrates. They are structured almost in the same manner. They both have the first phase, second phase and maintenance phases.
