Low Carb Diet PlansThese low carb diet plans are the best of the ketogenic diet plans offered on the market, in my opinion. The books associated with each diet are easy to read, informative and based on sound scientific research and extensive clinical experience. The Atkins DietSummary: The Atkins diet is by far the most famous ketogenic diet. The diet was developed by the late Robert C. Atkins, M.D. in the late 1980s, and it is a classic ketogenic diet. Carbs are very low at the beginning to induce ketosis, and the consumption of saturated fats and leafy green vegetables is encouraged.The newest book, (New Atkins for a New You) includes some really solid research references, as the authors (Jeff Volek, Eric Westman and Steve Phinney) are doing the cutting edge research on the effects of low carb diets.

Meals focus on the consumption of healthy fats, protein such as meat, poultry and seafood, and non starchy vegetables. Associated Books:
