Information
This website is essentially a copy of the
Atkins Diet. The Atkins diet plan is divided into four stages:
Induction, Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL), Pre-Maintenance, and
Lifetime Maintenance. Each phase is meant to prepare you
for weight loss and to change your lifestyle permanently.
During these four phases, you will learn which foods you
can eat without affecting your weight loss, so that eventually
you won't have to rely on a carb-counter you'll just know,
through practice, what is or isn't off limits. The diet
is a highly individualized weight loss strategy, as the
foods you can eat are determined by your own metabolic rates.
It is important to understand
that while the Atkins diet will change your lifestyle, it
will not permanently change your metabolic tendencies. If
you begin to eat refined carbohydrates or processed food,
you will stop experiencing weight loss and return to the
way you were before. Your body will react the same way to
these foods as before, secreting insulin in response to
your increased blood-sugar level due to the food. Eventually
you will regain whatever weight loss you initially experienced.
The Atkins diet means to permanently change your eating
habits to help you avoid regaining your weight loss.
