A typical diet may reduce calories, but is still high in carbohydrates (and sugar) which may cause continuous cycles of sugar highs and lows, making you more fatigued and hungry—without any weight loss. Alternatively, a low carb diet focuses on limiting carbohydrates to help the body burn fat instead of sugar for fuel. This contributes to higher, consistent energy levels throughout the day, allowing you to reach weight loss and weight maintenance goals. For more information, please visit Atkins' website.
