The Atkins diet revolutionized the dieting world. The specialized diet is rather simple to follow and results in rapid weight loss. Anybody who wants to try the Atkins diet must be willing to cut out carbohydrates. Reducing carbohydrates and increasing protein is the key to the diet's success.

Carbohydrates are generally found in breads, cereals and anything made from flour or grains. When the body digests carbohydrates, they are turned into sugars. If a person fails to burn off those calories, they turn to fat. Low-carb products like pasta can be used to fulfill cravings and supplement a person's diet.
