The Atkins Diet 艾特金斯飲食法

Philosophy：Cut carbohydrates-they make you hungrier. Load up on fats and proteins.
How It Works： When the body takes in very few carbs, it gets its energy by burning fat instead of carbs. This occurs when the liver turns stored fat into chemicals called ketones, which are used for fuel （and can give you less-than-fresh breath）.
Downside：Long-term adherance. It's hard to stick to a diet that restricts such a big chunk of the food pyramid.

關鍵詞 減少碳水化合物攝入-這樣你容易有饑餓感。攝入更多脂肪和蛋白質。
原理：當人體碳水化合物攝入不足時，它從脂肪燃燒中獲得能量，取代原來的碳水化合物。這時肝臟將體內儲存的脂肪轉化為酮類化學物質，它常常用來做燃料。（從而產生一種呼吸不暢的感覺）.
缺點：長期節食，嚴格限制食物金字塔中基礎食物的攝入，困難。
