The main reason why The Atkins Diet plant was become popular and people turn to Atkins Diet is simply that it provides fast weight loss, many people with high cholesterol, hypertension, diabetes and polycystic ovarian syndrome reported that they felt more energetic than they had in years after one week on the Atkins Diet.

Health experts recommend eating foods with low in fat and high in carbohydrates, it turned to the principle Atikins diet plan, in atikins diet is to get food around sixty six percent of the intake of fatty foods and eat the meat and cheese not eat bread, pasta , fruits, and vegetables.  The Atkins Diet Plan highly recommends fat and protein.

The Atkins Diet plan was based on four phases :

1. Induction
   Carbohydrate intake is reduced to 2/3oz or 20g per day. This is the phase where you lose the most weight (usually up to 15lbs in the initial two weeks… sometimes more). Phase one lasts for a minimum of two weeks but you may choose to continue it for longer (particularly if you have a large amount of weight to lose). It should be noted that in this phase dizziness and fainting can be an issue. This is because when your body runs out of carbohydrates and has to switch to burning fat, the energy is not as instant so you may experience these symptoms while the switch over occurs.
2. Ongoing weight loss
   You may increase your DAILY carbohydrate intake by 1/6oz or 5g and stay at that level for one to two weeks before increasing again. Weight loss slows slightly at this stage and the side effects of dizziness and weakness reduce in frequency. During this stage you may begin to find your ‘carbohydrate level for losing’ or CLL. This is the quantity of carbohydrates you can consume and still lose weight. In phase two carbohydrates are increased until you’re losing one pound per week. Phase two continues until you’re 10lbs from your goal weight at which point you progress to phase three.
3. Pre-Maintenance
   Daily carbohydrate intake increased by 2/3oz or 10g and remain at that level for up to two weeks before increasing daily carbohydrates again by the same amount. This continues until goal weight is achieved.
4. Lifetime Maintenance
   Begins after goal weight is achieved. By now you will have discovered how much carbohydrates you can consume on a daily basis without gaining OR losing weight. This is known as your Atkins carbohydrate equilibrium or A.C.E. Imagine how powerful this is, if you ever need to lose more weight you can simply cut back your daily net carbohydrates and begin losing weight again. This puts you in a good position to maintain a healthy weight

below are some common mistakes made by people who diet without them knowing it :

• Trying to Lose weight drastically
  Determined to remove the 5 kg weight in a short time, makes you try to diet to extremes. Whether it’s a completely abstain from fatty foods or carbohydrates. Even just consume less than 1,000 calories per day. Of course, your weight will decrease a lot. However, when you only consume fewer calories, you train yourself to slow down your metabolism. When you’ve finished your diet, your body is accustomed to burning calories with a slow and this will cause weight gain faster than the first.
• Skipping breakfast
  Skipping breakfast may occur to you because it is a meal that can be ignored and can burn calories. Actually, skip breakfast it will make you hungry even worse during the day. In fact, can cause you more snacking in the office and eat more servings at lunch. Breakfast with a menu rich in protein and fiber can reduce hunger throughout the day. In fact, studies show, people who never miss breakfast every day and are likely to maintain a healthy body weight over time.
• Forget if you’re snacking
  You may count your calories every meal.  But how about  snacks you eat between meals? Is there a chocolate that are stored in your drawer? Or a piece of cake when you’re trying to show the office birthday celebration last? Or just a taste of ice cream yesterday afternoon your child? Little by little, the food into the mouth of unplanned snacks will destroy your diet. If indeed you are serious about counting calories, you can use the notebook to calculate every food that goes into your mouth.
• No snacking at all
  Snacking without you realize what is eaten can affect your waistline. However, the calculation snacking can actually help you lose weight. People who eat low-calorie snacks a day can control hunger and lose weight. Eat a snack can help keep the body metabolism remains high, especially if the protein-rich snack. Peanut is a choice of a good protein intake. There are even studies that say they are snacking on nuts slimmer than those who do not eat it.
• Too many calorie drink
  When counting calories into the body, we tend to focus on food alone, but forgot to count calories from beverages. This is a big mistake because the coffee and other sugary drinks can contain up to 500 calories, cal. In fact, calories in fruit juice and soda can accumulate in your body. What was worse was the calories in beverages do not fight against hunger, you will not feel like to reduce the amount of food intake after a high-calorie drinks.
• Less of drinking mineral water
  Water is an essential substance to burn calories. If you allow yourself hydrated, your metabolism will be chaotic, that is, the body will be difficult to lose weight. Research says, adults who drink 8 glasses of water or more per day will burn more calories than those who less water. So, try to drink water every time you eat and snacking.
• Avoiding dairy products
  Milk, cheese, and ice cream consumption is usually the subject of a taboo for most people who are dieting. However, reducing dairy products could be counterproductive. Some studies suggest that the body burn more fat when she has enough calcium and produce more fat when the lack of calcium. Calcium supplements do not provide the same effect with calcium derived from dairy products. Most of those who succeed in diet programs using milk, cheese, and low-fat yogurt to meet calcium needs.
• Scale the body every day
  Scale the body each day is a recipe for frustration and will not give you meaningful information. Better weighed each week. If you are planning to reduce 1-2 pounds per week, you’ll feel better when considering the body. The result will be more motivated than the body weigh every day that tend to vary.
• Set unrealistic goals
  Say to yourself that you have to eliminate 10 pounds in the first week is an attempt to frustrate yourself. If you know you will not be able to do it, might as well not have started early. If you are dieting and losing 2.5 pounds a week, you are only going to feel insecure for not successfully reach your goals. Realistic goals is very important for a successful diet. If you are not sure how much weight is normal and you can remove it, try to talk to the dietitian.
• Avoiding sports
  When you do not exercise, you charge a dream to shed all the weight on a diet efforts. If you’re more active, you can eat the foods you like and still lose weight. The key is to find exercise you enjoy. If you do not like a treadmill, try swimming, ballet, biking, tennis or table. Activities and activities of these moves can burn more calories than walking. Try to do various activities of different body activities until you find the activity you like and want to frequent.
