When you eat too many carbohydrates (carbs), your body burns some of those carbs for energy and stores the excess carbs as fat. When you eat fewer carbs - especially white flour and sugar, your body begins burning fat as its primary fuel source.
That's how Atkins works - you learn to eat the right foods and change your body from a carb-burning to a fat-burning machine.
We say you can lose up to 15 pounds in the first two weeks of the program* - and that's just the beginning. Of course, staying active is part of the plan, but make it fun - that means take a walk, work in your garden, play tennis with your kids, hit the driving range. By eating the right foods and getting into a habit of moderate physical activity, you'll be well on your way to reaching your goals.
Once you turn your body into a fat burning machine, you'll learn how to keep it that way and keep the weight off. We make it easy for you. We teach you how to enjoy your favorite foods wherever you are - quick meal ideas at home, delicious recipes for your family, in-between snacks and the best foods at your favorite restaurants.
Isn't that what it's all about? Of course, looking better is a great benefit too. But because Atkins works with your body, you can reduce a variety of health risk factors, including those associated with cardiovascular disease, hypertension and diabetes. Adding moderate activity will be a natural, which will tone your muscles and help you look and feel even better.
