Atkins Diet Phase Two – Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL)

During the Ongoing Weight Loss Phase, carbohydrates are slowly introduced back into the diet. Carbohydrates are increased from 20 grams to 25 grams a day. Every week thereafter the total carbohydrates consumed on a daily basis can be increased by 5 grams. Example, week 1, 25 grams, week 2, 30 grams, etc.

It is very important to monitor your carbohydrate intake during this phase as weight loss is significantly decreased. Individuals are advised to stay on Phase Two until they are 5 to 10 pounds from their ultimate weight.

If excessive weight gain is experienced, dieters should decrease their total carbohydrate intake by 5 grams until they are back to within 5 to 10 pounds of their ultimate weight.

The Atkins Diet – Beneficial or Harmful?

Some doctors in the medical profession view The Atkins Diet as a highly controversial and unhealthy way of losing weight, due to the high portions of fats and proteins individuals have to consume whilst on this diet. Nevertheless, many individuals have experienced great success in the form of weight loss, with minimal if any side effects.

There is a weight loss program which takes the principals of the Atkins Diet one step further. This diet called The South Beach Diet also allows individuals to eat from all the major food groups including carbohydrates and fat. The main difference with the South Beach Diet is distinguishing the good fats and carbohydrates from the bad. By eating fruits and vegetables combined with the proper fats and carbohydrates, individuals on the South Beach Diet can lose weight.
