The New Atkins for a New You
The ultimate diet for shedding weight fast.
BACKGROUND
The New Atkins for a New You: The Ultimate Diet for Shedding Weight Fast and Feeling Great Forever is an updated, healthier and simplified version of the controversial yet popular Atkins Diet plan.
Created by Dr. Eric Westman, The New Atkins for a New You maintains the same low-carb principles of the original diet. However, where the original diet may have fallen short on a maintenance plan this publication attempts to offer you the tools and resources needed to maintain a low-carb lifestyle for life.

DIET and NUTRITION
The New Atkins for a New You is a research-supported eating plan that features the low-carb, high-protein principles of the Atkins Diet but with more leniency, simplicity and variety.
In the book you will learn how to eat the wholesome foods that will turn your body into a fat-burning machine. The New Atkins for a New You is about eating delicious and healthy food, like a variety of protein, leafy greens and other vegetables, nuts, fruits, and whole grains. In addition, tips and suggestions are perfect for those with busy lifestyles ensuring you that you can stick with Atkins at work, at home, on vacation, or when you're eating out.
The book includes all-new recipes, 24 weeks worth of meal plans and makes maintenance a priority starting from the beginning of the weight loss program.
Most of your diet will be comprised of non-starchy vegetables, greens, avocados, seafood, eggs butter, bacon, cream, meat, cheese, olives and olive oil. Just like with the original Atkins, foods to avoid on the New Atkins for a New You diet are most grains, dried fruits, foods with added sugar, refined carbs, juices, most snacks and sweets.
The plan includes the basic four Atkins phases: -- Induction, Ongoing Weight lLoss, Pre-maintenance, and Lifetime Maintenance. The Induction phase is the most restrictive as its used for at least two weeks depending upon your weight loss goal.
Throughout all four phases, your intake of fats, which are mostly monounsaturated and proteins remains steady but carbs vary from 20 to 70 grams depending upon the stage. Like with other Atkins diets, you could net carbs, rather than just carbs. Net carbs are the amount of carbohydrates a food contains minus its fiber since fiber does not have an effect on blood sugar.
A sample day during the Induction phase, the first stage of the plan, might look like this:
- Breakfast: Two scrambled eggs and two turkey-sausage links.
- Lunch: Mixed green salad topped with lean sirloin or lean deli roast beef and olive oil dressing.
- Dinner: Salmon with asparagus spears and a green salad.
- Snacks: String cheese, avocados, hard boiled eggs, almonds, and lean meat.
The book suggests that women get 1,500-1,800 calories per day and men 1,800-2,200 calories. Plenty of water is also recommended as protein requires a significant amount of water to process and digest.
EXERCISE
During the Induction phase, no exercise is recommended as energy is likely to be low. Once your body adapts to the diet and begins to lose weight, as you progress through the subsequent phases, exercise can be added.
CONCLUSION
The New Atkins for a New You focuses not just on trying to brighten the image of the tarnished original Atkins Diet plan, but more importantly it tries to help those who want to lose weight to succesfully lose it by following a low-carb and healthy eating plan that supports lifelong weight management.
With maintenance principles firmly established from the beginning of the book, The New Atkins for a New You offers an updated and simplified low-carb plan that has helped millions lose weight. But its overall restriction, particularly in the early phases of the diet as well as its trademark, high fat and high protein diet plan may leave many pining for a spoonful of cereal or a crusty baguette.

I lost 24 lbs in 26 days on induction. (I still have about 150lbs to go). I'm not hungry, my sweets and chocolate cravings are gone (in fact, I'm craving green veggies!). But most of all, the constant aches and pains I was having are gone. I can get out of the car after a long drive, or out of my chair at the office after sitting all morning, and begin walking without the preliminary hobbling I was finding myself doing. I was never low-energy, but I find myself cleaning the house at 9:30pm now! I'm sleeping like a baby, and not doing more excercise than I get just taking care of a 2 acre yard, chickens, goats, and dogs.

With its emphasis on eating more healthful fats and more vegetables, isn't the "New Atkins Diet" pretty much the same as the South Beach Diet?
I love how you say Atkins "has a reputation of being a fad diet"!
Atkins has been around for close to 40 years now. That's SOME fad!
Thank you Dr. Atkins for giving us a way of eating that is healthy and helps us to lose weight!
