Is the Atkins iet essentially a low carb diet?

The Atkins diet is different because you have phases and things of that nature.. Also Atkins is strict on Carbs unlike a regular " low carb diet". A regular low carb diet would just be eating low carbs verses Atkins where you are only allowed so many carbs a day. I did the Atkins diet and it worked great for me. You can find Atkins products for a low price from a href="http://www.imedmart.com" rel="nofollow"http://www.imedmart.com/a if you do decide to do the low carb thing.
