"Dr Atkins Low Carbohydrate..."
"What Beginners Can Expect From
the Famous Doctor's Plan?"
Limiting the amount of carbohydrates that you eat to a minimum is one of the key ingredients in
achieving and maintaining a healthy weight. This is what the Atkins low car diet plan teaches you.
Although the concept of using low carbs to lose weight is not a new approach, doing it the
Atkins way shows you how to carry out a plan that is proven effective, easy to use, enables you to still eat great foods, and still
satisfies your craving for carbohydrates.
Below is an introduction to the first 2 phases of the Dr. Atkins low carbohydrate plan and
how the phases work.
Dr. Atkins Low Carb Diet Plan Phase One
The first phase is especially important if you have a lot of weight to lose. It is the
introductory phase and jump-starts you into the program by limiting your carb intake to about 20 grams of carbohydrates on a daily basis for at
least the first two weeks.
During this phase your diet should include protein rich foods such as all kinds of chicken,
whole eggs, cooked beef, and a variety of fish. You also need foods that are high in the 'good' fats such as dairy products and olive
oil.
For your carb meal you may have a green salad with a low carb dressing such as olive oil.
You may also have foods such as green beans and broccoli.
Dr. Atkins Low Carb Diet Plan Phase Two
The second part of the Atkins low carb diet plan (phase two) is what they call the ongoing
weight loss phase, or the OWL. During this phase, you must keep on eating the foods that are high in protein and fat.
What is different about this phase is that you start by adding five grams of net carbs to your
already twenty grams per day to your menu and you do that every day of the week, until you stop loosing weight.
That means that you can have from 20 - 25 grams a day the first week, 25 - 30 grams a day the
next week, 30 - 35 grams a day the following week, etc. until you stop loosing weight.
Once the weight loss stops, you need to drop 5 grams of carbs off of your Atkins low carb diet
plan each week until you determine how many grams of those carbs that you can consume, while continuing to lose weight.
You will find that this is about 40 to 60 grams per day for for the average
person. You should stick with this phase until you drop about 5 to 10 lbs.
And that is what you can expect as you jump into good healthy eating and the Atkins low carb
diet plan.
