Hi Kristy,

The Atkins plan is a complete weight loss program designed for people to follow for life. The induction phase alone lasts for two weeks. Depending on how much weight you have to lose, you may easily lose the weight during that time.

Hi Amy,

Carbohydrates are a macronutrient. One of three which provide calories for our bodies to function (the other two are protein and fat). As a macronutrient, carbohydrates provide most of the energy we need for normal bodily functions and they can be considered simple or complex. This determination is based on chemical structure.

Simple carbohydrates digest quickly, and many of them contain refined sugars and are low in essential vitamins and minerals. These would include foods like: fruits, fruit juice, milk, yoghurt, honey, molasses and sugar.

Complex carbs require longer to digest. They usually are high in fiber, vitamins and minerals. These include foods like: vegetables, breads, cereals, legumes and pasta.

Here are a few other links to help you understand carbs.

Good luck, Kelly! With Atkins, you're pretty safe if you start out with eggs. Scrambled, boiled, omelettes... any way you crack 'em, eggs are ideal for the Atkins way of eating!

First, I recommend buying the book on the Atkins diet. Then you can check out some of the other Atkins diet articles on this site. Atkins Diet Recipes: Phase 1: Induction is a great place to start. Good luck! :)
