Carbohydrate-conscious approach to a long-term, healthy lifestyle
The Atkins 100® plan is a low-carbohydrate diet focused on consuming 100 grams of net carbs/day (net carbs = total carbs minus fiber and sugar alcohols and allulose [where applicable]). It is an easy and flexible yet carbohydrate-conscious approach to a long-term, healthy lifestyle. While it’s not a ketogenic plan like Atkins 20® and Atkins 40®, the net carb level achieved within Atkins 100® is ideal for those looking to maintain their weight and achieve their overall wellness goals.
Patients following this plan can expect to experience the following:
Higher carbohydrate distribution throughout the day: 100 grams of net carbs are spread evenly across meals and snacks, easily allowing for one to two servings (or carbohydrate exchanges) at each eating occasion.
Flexible eating patterns: Patients are encouraged to choose carbohydrates from the full spectrum of food groups and can easily adapt and align their choices to fit within a variety of healthy eating patterns, including a Mediterranean, vegetarian or DASH-friendly diet.
A lasting lifestyle: This level of carbohydrate intake is approachable and maintainable. Patients can include their favorite foods from any food group throughout the day, including occasional indulgent treats.
Atkins 100® may be best for patients who:
- Wish to live low carb lifestyle and maintain their weight
- Prefer the widest variety of food choices
- Are breastfeeding with the goal of maintaining weight
- Are pregnant
