What’s the Difference Between Keto and Atkins?
The two popular diets drastically reduce carb intake, but here’s how they stack up in terms of difficulty, safety, and results.
If the most popular low-carb diets were ranked, the ketogenic diet and the Atkins diet would be neck and neck. “They both follow carbohydrate restriction,” says Erin Dolinski, RD, a clinical dietitian specialist at Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak, Michigan.
We’re not just talking about cutting back on the bad-for-you carbs — the donuts, cupcakes, and cookies — but even things like fruit and some veggies. Limiting carbs as much as these diets require puts the body into ketosis, which means the body turns to fat for fuel once its glucose stores are depleted. Ketosis plays a role in each of the diets but in different ways, which could affect how sustainable the diet is in the long run.
An Overview of How the Atkins Diet Works
The Atkins diet reviews was introduced in 1972 by a cardiologist named Robert Atkins, and it’s been popular on and off since, Dolinski says. The original version of the diet (now called Atkins 20) has four phases. The introductory phase of the diet kicks it off with by far the most restrictive rules.
Protein and fat are fair game on Atkins, but carbs are strictly limited to between 20 and 25 grams (g) of net carbs (total carbs minus fiber) during the introductory phase. Those carbs come from nuts, seeds, veggies, and cheese. “Having only that amount of carbohydrates can result in your body going into ketosis,” Dolinski says. You’ll stay in this phase until you’re about 15 pounds (lb) away from your goal weight.
