I started thinking of this more....
Atkins says less carbs. THerefore you are eating less carb calories. Well, since you are eating less carbs your body has to burn fat for energy. You may be ingesting for fat products due to less carbs and you may be eating more calories, but you are burning your fat for energy. The body process of burning fat stored calories may be greater than the intake of fat calories. So in a sense, you are burning more calories on that Atkins diet than you take in.
