Ok I don't get this at all. I read up on the Atkins diet. Currenly I am doing a low calorie diet. And there is this one thing I don't get at all.

Ok so the standard beleif is that:
Calories OUT > Calories IN, will result in a weight loss

But yet the Atkins diet claims you don't have to count the calories at all if you limit the carbs. So in essence I can eat 3,000 calories a day, and as long as there isn't more then 20 grams of carbs I should lose weight. Makes absolutely no sense to me.

I mean I understand how the process works. Carbs is what we use FIRST for energy. But this is just one aspect I do not get at all. How on earth do you lose weight without burning more calories then you are taking in???

Someone help me out.
