Atkins Diet

Atkins Diet Is Very Popular

Perhaps the most widely known of all low carb diets is the Atkins diet. Created by Dr. Robert Atkins in the 1970s the Atkins diet is considered by some to be the most extreme low carb diet plan.

Dr. Atkins believed that nearly all obesity is caused by overactive insulin production and not by overeating. I have to agree that overactive insulin
is certainly part of most peoples problem.

He believed that overeating could be caused by carbohydrate addiction and that most overweight people actually ate less than their slim counterparts. However, they crave and eat carbohydrate, which raises their insulin levels and suppresses fat burning.
