The Atkins Diet

The Atkins diet is a nutritional philosophy which a) restricts the intake of processed and refined carbohydrates such as sugar rich foods, bread, pasta, cereal, and starchy vegetables while b) encouraging consumption of nutrient rich unprocessed foods such as meat fish and poultry. In essence the diet’s purpose is to induce the body to burn fat for energy by restricting the body’s access to carbohydrates which if they are not used immediately for energy are converted to fat.

The program goes through three stages: an initial two week period where carbs are limited to 20 grams per day, phase two where carbs of up to 40g per day are permitted, and finally a target weight program where carbs are permitted at a level consistent with maintaining your weight loss.

Slimstuff’s weight loss supplements can support a high protein/low carb diet in two ways. C2, our carb blocker, keeps you within the carb limits of the diet plan and our fat burner, F3, helps burn the extra fat you may consume on the program. Use our science and succeed in losing those unwanted pounds.
