Back in the 1970's Dr. Robert Atkins introduced a new diet plan, "the Low Card Diet". It has been a very popular diet because it is a good diet to loose weight quickly. When you first get on the diet you get great result right away.

It is important to understand that for you to be successful that you need to follow the diet exactly as it states because it takes some time to get used to the way you eat. When Dr. Atkins first came out with the diet it was revolutionary to think that you could have a diet that was so high in fat and promoted high consumptions of meat and cheese.

In the first two weeks of the diet you are allowed to only intake a maximum of 20 grams of carbs. When you have maintained this low card intake for the two week period then you can increase your cards by 5 grams a week. The goal carb intake is between 40 to 90 grams but his amount will depend on factors such as your age, size, sex and so on. You will get to the point were you will find that target goal and you should stay at that goal for long term weight loss.

To have success with weight loss on the Atkins Diet plan you need to stick to your card count that you have set as a goal because this will be your main reason for success. Today more than ever the obesity rates have gone up and it is crucial that we get on a diet plan that will make us healthier and feel better.

Medically when you loose just 10-20% of your weight your chance of a heart related problem drop dramatically. Just remember that the longer you stay on the plan the easier it gets because like with all diet plans there is a period of time that your body need to get adjusted to the diet you are on.
