For some dieters, the Dr. Atkins' diet plan is an effective way to take off extra weight. This diet restricts carbohydrates with the intent of forcing the body to stop relying on consumed glucose and instead convert stored body fat for energy. There is no limit to how much you can eat on this diet because the idea is to restrict carbohydrate intake, not calories. There is some risk of developing higher cholesterol levels as a result of consuming extra fat.
