Phase 1: Induction
Restrict carbohydrate consumption to 20 grams each day, obtaining carbohydrate primarily from salad and other non-starchy vegetables.

Phase 2: Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL)
Add carbohydrate, in the form of nutrient-dense and fiber -rich foods, by increasing to 25 grams daily the first week, 30 grams daily the next week and so on until weight loss stops. Then subtract 5 grams of carbohydrate from your daily intake so that you continue sustained, moderate weight loss.

Phase 3: Pre-Maintenance
Make the transition from weight loss to weight maintenance by increasing the daily carbohydrate intake in 10-gram increments each week so long as very gradual weight loss is maintained.

Phase 4: Lifetime Maintenance
Select from a wide variety of foods while controlling carbohydrate intake to ensure weight maintenance and a sense of well-being. This lifestyle is the foundation for a lifetime of BETTER HEALTH.

Alrighty then. Well people let me tell you what happened the other week. The main man himself Dr Atkins went to my very good friends, fathers restaurant, sat, ate his full-on carbohydrate meal that he always has and promptly had a heart attack right there in the middle of the room. I think he's stable at the moment but who knows???

Yes this is very sad, but it's also an EXTREMELY SAD commercial for his diet. Yeah come on girls, pile on those carbs, just the carbs, nothing else, let's all go on a carb holiday, let's gamble at the carb love motel. I mean ppplleeasseee what is this guy thinking.  Anway this information isn't 'OUT' yet, so I'm sure his carb gangster men are on there way round right now with orders to put a hit on me, so if you don't hear from again, no worries, I'll be chilling upstairs with all those dirty bastard catholic priests shoving large pineapples up there arse every morning at 10:30am.
