The Atkins weight loss plan has been around for decades, but gained huge popularity in the 1990s. There is something special about this weight loss program that is hard to deny. It works. There are many testimonials to be found and pictures to go with them. Many lose weight on this diet, and they do it without being hungry or deprived. Even those with a sweet tooth can easily do this diet, and in fact, these are the folks that might benefit from this type of diet the most.
Most people have been taught their entire lives that fat is the enemy, and this means that they are scared to try the Atkins weight loss plan. The reason for this fear is that this diet actually encourages a person to eat fat, especially in the beginning of the diet. Most mistakenly call the Atkins weight loss plan a high protein diet. Instead, it is really a low carb plan that encourages protein and fat consumption, but it does not exclude all carbs and does not recommend too much protein.

as his weight wilts
and he is on a porch
that won’t hold my arms,
or the legs of the race run
forwards, or the film
played backwards on his grandson’s eyes.

What the Atkins weight loss program does is stop the sugar addiction that many have. When the body cannot use carbs for energy, it switches to fat burning. Though a person can eat all they want of acceptable foods, weight still comes off because the body is using the new energy source. If you have ever had a high carb meal only to be hungry an hour later, you know what it feels like to be hungry all of the time no matter how much you eat. The Atkins weight loss program eliminates these sugar crashes. I can say from experience that it really works. After just a few days on the program the carb cravings disappear.
The fist week on the Atkins weight loss program is rough, but not nearly as bad as one might think. The cravings go away in this time as the body adjusts, and there can be some headaches and even a feeling of having the flu. However, this is temporary, and once the second week of the program begins, a person on Atkins will feel better than they have in years. I know for me, the dizzy spells and the constant cravings have vanished, and I feel better than I can ever remember feeling. It sounds a little kooky, but employing this type of plan for life is the answer many are looking for.
