Atkins Diet

This diet is about keeping insulin levels high within the body. When this happens, our body accumulates a large part of the energy provided by food and consequently, one does not have to eat as much to feel satisfied or energetic enough to function. Within this diet, the most important food sector is protein, as it is consumed in large quantities. The danger is that any slip during the diet can cause a rapid drop in insulin and destabilize the body.
