Atkins Diet Program - Short Introduction

The Atkins Diet - one of the most popular weight loss diets - has a 14-day induction plan on which you can eat all meat, fish, poultry, eggs and most cheeses, cream, butter, vegetable oils, mayonnaise, plus small quantities of various salads and vegetables up to 20g of carb a day, while avoiding all fruit, bread, pasta, grains, starchy vegetables, milk and yogurt, as well as some other items.

After the 14 days induction diet-plan you are allowed a more carbohydrate (from 15-60g a day) for the ongoing diet, depending on your own level of what Atkins terms 'metabolic' resistance to weight loss, but amounts are still tiny - Atkins describes grapefruits and apples as high-carbohydrate foods and calls all fruit 'risky'.

A weight maintenance diet allows small amounts of certain grains and perhaps an occasional piece of fruit or potato, and nuts and seeds.
