Low Calorie
Low Calorie: How it Works ![closeLow Calorie tab]()
A low calorie diet restricts how much food you eat. You lose weight because you are consuming fewer calories than you burn.
Low calorie diets restrict the total amount of calories, which can lead users to feeling hungry and unsatisfied. Being hungry makes it more difficult to stick to the plan.

Low Calorie
Atkins
Sometimes Low calorie diets count calories, but don’t give guidance on types of foods. Users that aren’t actively trying to meet protein requirements may not meet their protein needs as they cut back on overall food intake.

Low Calorie
Atkins
Low calorie diets restrict the total amount of calories, which can lead users to feeling hungry and unsatisfied. If users try to fill up on high volume food to combat hunger, low calorie dieters may need to prep large amounts of very low-calorie produce (celery, leafy greens, etc.). The diet also may require meticulous tracking of calorie intake to be successful.

Why Atkins is Better
A low calorie diet is difficult to maintain, and very often you end up being hungry, which makes it tempting to overeat. With Atkins®, you count Net Carbs, not calories, and you choose from a variety of satisfying foods. This way of eating naturally keeps your hunger (and calories) in check, and your metabolism starts burning fat for fuel instead of carbs and sugar, which is a more efficient way of losing weight.
Keto
Keto: How it works ![closeKeto tab]()
When your metabolism starts to burn fat for fuel, instead of carbs and sugar, your body loses weight more efficiently.
Classic keto diets include very high levels of fat (75-90% of calories), relatively low levelos of protein (5-20% of calories) and extremely low levels of carbohydrates (less than 5% of calories) and may also be calorie restricted.*
