The Atkins Keto diet is a high-fat, low-carbohydrate eating plan designed to promote weight loss by inducing ketosis.
Ketosis occurs when carb intake is significantly reduced, forcing the body to rely on ketones from fat breakdown for energy.
Focus on high-fat foods, moderate protein intake, and minimal carbohydrates to shift the body's metabolism towards fat burning.
Promotes rapid weight loss, reduces appetite, stabilizes blood sugar levels, and enhances mental clarity and energy levels.
Include healthy fats like avocados and olive oil, protein-rich foods such as meat and fish, and low-carb vegetables like leafy greens.
Minimize intake of grains, sugars, starchy vegetables, and processed foods to maintain ketosis and maximize fat burning.
Create balanced meals that meet fat, protein, and carbohydrate targets to sustain ketosis and support weight loss goals.
Initial side effects may include fatigue, headaches, and irritability as the body adjusts to using ketones for energy.
