The Atkins diet, also known as the Atkins Nutritional Approach, is a low-carbohydrate diet designed for weight loss and improved health. Some synonyms for Atkins diet include low-carb diet, high protein diet, ketogenic diet, and carb-restricted diet. These diets share similar principles as the Atkins diet, such as limiting carbohydrate intake to induce a state of ketosis, which helps burn fat for energy. Other similar diets include the South Beach Diet, Paleo Diet, and Whole30 diet, which also focus on reducing carbohydrates and increasing protein. Regardless of the name or approach, these diets offer alternative ways to manage weight and improve overall health.
