Atkins Diet Recipes Atkins diet is in the first place developed by Dr. Robert Atkins who has long been considered as the Father of Modern Low Carb Diets. If you are following this program, I bet you know that the essence of Atkins lies on the restriction of carbohydrate intake to intervene into what is considered by Dr. Atkins as the underlying causes of obesity and overweight. Also, this plan is maintained based on the notion that it's not the level of fats consumed by the people that matters, but it is how the body reacts to the carbohydrates. With this, people following the Atkins are highly advised to lower their carbohydrate intake, primarily at the induction phase where 20 grams of carbs per day is cutback from the diet. This is actually the strictest phase of the diet and that many of the Atkins followers have said that it is basically where the level of carbohydrates in the body drops dramatically, resulting to a rapid weight loss. So the idea about Atkins is given. Now let us consider what recipes to prepare while following this program.
