What are the phases of the Atkins Diet?

Andrea Giancoli (Registered Dietician ) gives expert video advice on: What is the Atkins Diet eating plan?; What is considered 20 grams of carbohydrates?; Can vegetarians follow the Atkins Diet? and more...

There is a two-week induction period on the Atkins Diet where you are allowed twenty grams of carbohydrates a day and that comes in the form of leafy green vegetables, and some restrictions on some other vegetables as well. After two weeks you can go up to five more carbohydrates per day and once you start to go into the maintenance phase, you can add five more carbohydrates every week after that.
