The Atkins diet is split into four different phases:

Slimmers are to stick to under 20 grams of carbs per day for two weeks.

They are permitted to consume high-fat and high-protein foods, with low carb vegetables such as leafy greens.

This phase is said to "kick-start" the weight loss.

Here, dieters are allowed to slowly add more nuts, low-carb vegetables and small amounts of fruit back into their diets.

Healthline reveals that some people choose to skip the induction phase altogether and include plenty of vegetables and fruit from the start.

They point out that this method can be "very effective" as it ensures the body is still getting enough nutrients and fibre while losing weight.

People on this specific diet also don't need to partake in any strenuous exercise, but should be sticking to the recommended guidelines of 150 minutes of aerobic activity per week.While there have been questions around whether the diet really works, Doctor Arefa Cassoobhoy explained that "the research shows it can work".

"If you fill your day with processed carbs like white bread, pasta, and white potatoes, and you dont eat many fruits and veggies, then this diet may be the jump-start you need to lose weight," she said.
