Sizing up weight loss plans
ATKINS DIET, created by Dr. Robert Atkins HOW IT WORKS: The body metabolizes carbohydrates first; cut down on carbs, and your body will burn fat. So you can eat all the protein and fat you want and shed pounds. SAY GOODBYE TO: Sugar and carbs. After a stringent regimen the first few weeks, gradually up your carb intake and ease into a diet low in trans fats, sugars, refined flours, and processed foods. AJC file photo
