Description from Atkins Diet by Nicole Harrington The Atkins Diet is based on the basic idea that excessive carbohydrate consumption, especially starches and simple sugars can lead to weight gain. Consequently, Dr. Atkins advocated the consumption of excess fats and proteins as well as the daily consumption of nutrients through vitamins and mineral supplements.
This diet also attempts to minimize the production of insulin while inducing the state of ketosis just like other ketogenic diets. Basically, when there is a high amount of glucose in the bloodstream because of excessive consumption of carbohydrate-containing foods, the human body produces insulin that helps to get rid of excess glucose in the bloodstream and then store the same in the muscle tissues and liver as glycogen. It also stores it as fat in adipose tissues (fat cells).
