Biogenics Keto Yes, you can and will lose weight using the Atkins plan. The problem with this plan though is you will also lose water and lean muscle mass as well. If you are athletic and want to keep your physical form, this is not the route you want to go. If followed properly the CKD will allow you to burn the fat and increase the muscle mass most people want. It has been scientifically proven that the more muscle mass you have, the healthy your body and bones will be in your later years. You get all of this, and you can still eat those fun foods on a Saturday night. What a deal!
