Short answer- fat.
long answer- it's my understanding that atkins is a moderate version of a ketogenic diet so you metabolism adjust to low carbs by utilizing fat stores for energy. i believe the atkins does allow carbs so it's not as extreme/quick a fat loss as a ketogenic diet
thx for the props above, Dave!
