What is the 'Atkins Diet'?

Andrea Giancoli (Registered Dietician ) gives expert video advice on: What is the 'Atkins Diet'?; What is the philosophy behind the Atkins Diet?; What happens when I restrict carbohydrates? and more...

The basic dietary principle behind the Atkins diet is to eat a high protein diet and a low carb diet, a very low carb diet. So you're eating a lot of meat, a lot of animal products and not a lot of grains, not a lot of fruit, and also not a lot of vegetables as well, in the very first part of the diet.
