With the revised and up dated Dr Atkins diet you are well on the way to the healthier energetic you.
You will be guided through the FOUR PHASES of the plan:-
PHASE 1
1. Induction
This two-week maximum fat-burning program jump-starts your body into the metabolic state known as ketosis, making it consume its own excess body fat faster than you ever thought possible. This phase is very strict in its limitation of carbohydrates. (Because of its rigour, the Induction phase is not suitable for children under the age of 12, pregnant women or people with severe kidney disease.) You eat no more than 20 grams of carbs a day. Most people lose at least 5 to 10 pounds in the first two weeks during Induction. If you have a significant amount of weight to lose, you may safely stay on the Induction phase longer.

PHASE 2
2. Ongoing Weight Loss
You can liberalise your carbohydrate consumption slightly on Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL), which you will follow for as many weeks or months as it takes you to get close to your goal weight. It’s important to understand that this liberalisation on the carb front is not a license to return to your old eating habits. Instead, increase your daily intake of carbohydrates by 5 grams each week, i.e., 25 grams daily the first week, 30 grams daily the next week. By doing this very gradually you won't fall out of ketosis. This is how you find your Critical Carbohydrate Level for Losing (CCLL). Typical 5-gram increments include 10 Brazil nuts, half an avocado, 1/4 cup of blueberries or 1/2 cup of green beans. You can even add carbs in the form of 4 ounces of dry wine, 6 ounces of light beer or 1 ounce of gin or whiskey daily. Naturally, you will see a gradual decrease in the pace of your weight loss as you add carbohydrates back into your diet. And that’s fine. The purpose of the whole program is not to lose weight fast, but to get it off and keep it off—forever.
PHASE 3
3. Pre-Maintenance
When you get close to your ultimate weight goal, understandably you will want to take off those last five or six pounds in a hurry. But it’s important to carve them off over the course of two or three months. That’s because the biggest problem with weight control is not losing but maintaining. You may have gone on a crash diet in the past, only to gain it all back faster than you lost it. What you should do is just the opposite. By losing those final pounds with excruciating slowness, you'll actually be easing yourself into a permanently changed way of eating.
For the Pre-Maintenance phase, each week simply add another 10 grams of carbs to what you have been eating each day on OWL. Or give yourself a 20-gram carbohydrate treat two or three times a week. You can now even touch some of those formerly forbidden starches such as a baked potato or a slice of pizza. Or add some favourite fruits: apples, bananas, peaches, grapefruit. As long as you don't start gaining weight and continue to lose at an almost imperceptible rate, you're doing fine. However, if eating any foods creates food cravings or provokes symptoms that disappeared while you've been on the program, stop them immediately.
PHASE 4
4. Lifetime Maintenance
Once you arrive at your goal weight, offer yourself some well-deserved congratulations and prepare for a lifetime of slimness. When you have totally stopped your weight loss, your appetite will increase toward its normal level. For this reason, your Lifetime Maintenance program will still be fairly restrictive of carbohydrate foods. You'll need to find your own Critical Carbohydrate Level for Maintenance (CCLM), meaning the level at which you neither gain nor lose weight. At this level, you will still restrict carbohydrates enough to curb some of your appetite. For most people, this ranges between 40 and 100 grams of carbs a day—still considerably less than the 300 grams the typical American consumes in a single day!
Special Bonus
Included in this plan are 45 more diet plans and recipe books including the famous SOUTH BEACH DIET
South Beach Diet
In the first phase of the South Beach diet, which lasts two weeks, you eat normal-sized helpings of lean meats, such as chicken, turkey, fish, and shellfish. Vegetables are also allowed, as are nuts, cheese, and eggs. A salad with real olive oil dressing is fine. Coffee and tea are OK, and lots and lots of water is required.
Forbidden in those first 14 days, however, are fruit, bread, rice, potatoes, pasta, or baked goods. No sugar, ice cream, cookies, or cake. And no alcoholic drinks of any kind (wine, fruit and whole-grain breads may be added back to the diet in subsequent phases).
