REVIEW OF ATKINS DIET
The Atkins Diet has become increasingly popular since 1992 and has helped begin the “no carb” craze. The Diet is low carb and high protein and has warranted attention from the media due to the amount of controversy surrounding it. Dr. Robert C. Atkins first published his theories on weight loss in 1972 in Dr. Atkins’ Diet Revolution, and the diet began to catch on twenty years later after the publication of Dr. Atkins’ New Diet Revolution.

REVIEW OF Atkins Diet
Phase One is the Induction Phase, and lasts for 2 weeks. This phase is an optional way to “jumpstart” the diet program by reducing carbohydrates and helping to burn fats. This phase must be followed precisely or it will not lead to weight loss, according to the web site. The rules during this phase specify that either three regular-size meals or 4-5 smaller meals must be eaten each day, and no meals can be skipped. Combinations of fat and protein can be eaten liberally and no more than 20 grams of carbohydrates can be consumed. Fruit, bread, grains, pasta and starchy vegetables must be eliminated, and the only dairy products allowed are cheese, cream and butter. Only foods on the “Acceptable Foods List” are allowed and portion control must be regulated. Eating out is allowed, caffeine intake should be limited and hydration is recommended during this phase. Phase Two is Ongoing Weight Loss; this phase gradually introduces nutritious carbohydrates, expanding the options of foods allowed in the induction phase. The weight loss pace is supposed to become slower and steady as compared to the induction phase. The intent of the phase is to boost the body’s ability to burn fat, make better carbohydrate choices, and adjust to permanent weight management. The daily amount of carbohydrates allowed is increased to 25 Net Carbs, and it is suggested that this phase be continued until the dieter is within 5-10 pounds of their goal. Phase Three is Pre-Maintenance, where the dieter “takes ownership of healthy new eating habits.” In this phase, the daily net carb allotment is increased by a total of 10 net carbs every week, as long as weight loss continues. This should continue until less than a pound a week is lost and the goal is reached; the phase should be continued for one month to maintain weight. The ultimate goal is to achieve the state of balance called “Atkins Carbohydrate Equilibrium (ACE)” – this is the individual level of carbohydrate intake at which weight is neither lost nor gained. Phase Four is Lifetime Maintenance – the final stage in which weight must be maintained by following a similar diet to the last part of Phase Three. According to the Atkins Web site, dieters in this stage will always remain within five pounds of their desired weight if the plan is followed. Keeping Atkins products on hand to “resist temptation” is also suggested
