Atkins is basically where you eat only protein like meats, eggs and fish. You don't eat vegetables, fruits, carbs or sugars. You will slowly add them into your diet later. For each meal you will only eat fatty foods like meats. You are allowed to eat at much meats as you like.

Atkins works becuase it limits ones carb intake. Carbs (found in bread, crackers, potatoes) are used by the body for immediate fuel and without it your body will use the carbs stored in your body and begin to burn them in a process called ketosis.

The Atkins diet is a diet where you do not eat grain foods, minimize your intake of fruits and vegetables, and maximize your intake of low carbohydrate foods, which basically means meats and condiments. You will lose weight by lowering your carb intake, but once you start eating again, the weight will come back fast and in excess.

With Atkins you do not eat any carbs which turns to sugar in your body and then turns to fat. By reducing fat and sugar intake the protien from the meat is used for energy and not stored in your body. You lose weight.

The only reason you lose weight on Atkins is because you eat less calories than you need. But it is detrimental for your health. Dr Atkins was obese when he died. A fresh raw fruit and vegetable feast is superior.
