Atkins Diet Sample Menu Plan | 3FC

Atkins, the diet includes four stages, beginning with Phase 1, the induction phase and ending with Phase 4, the lifetime maintenance stage. Phase One (also called the Induction Phase) is designed to last about 2 weeks, but you can stay in the first phase as long as you like. In this phase, you can eat a slightly wider range of foods, including nuts and seeds, and limited fresh fruits, such as blueberries, strawberries and cantaloupe. You begin the third phase when you’re within ten pounds of your goal weight. In this phase, you learn how to increase your intake of carbs while still losing weight, losing your last 10 slowly, helping your body adjust to your new metabolism. By the time you’ve attained Phase Four, you’ve learned what to eat, your tolerance for carbohydrates and portion control.
