A member asked:
I want to know what is the difference between the atkins diet and a low carb diet?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very little!: By definition atkins is low carb, and the first diet to stress a low carb lifestyle, so to some extent, they are the same. But variations have sprung up, ie. Paleolithic diet. But it too is low carb.
