Also, to mention the Atkins diet, in the book I read, the diet begins with a two week very low carb diet [20 grams of carbo perday] in order to transition the body into a state of nutritional ketosis, using ketones not
glucose / insulin
for energy generation; however, it is not intended to be a permanent such state but rather
for the dieter to gradually add in carbs; however, is one added in only up to the limit, which varies from person to person, of carbs to just below the lvel that would transition out of ketosis, then Atkins would work with that in mind and requiring monitoring
for blood or urine ketone levels and must
