&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;The [[Atkins diet]] is a [[low-carbohydrate]] weight loss program that was first introduced in the 1970s. It is based on the [[idea]] that consuming a [[diet]] high in carbohydrates causes [[weight gain]] and that limiting the intake of [[carbohydrates can lead to weight loss]]. The diet consists of four phases: induction, ongoing weight loss, pre-maintenance, and lifetime maintenance.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Induction==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[induction phase]] is the most restrictive stage of the Atkins diet and is designed to [[jumpstart weight loss]]. During this phase, the [[dieter]] is encouraged to consume no more than 20 grams of carbohydrates per day. This [[low level of carbohydrates]] forces the body to [[burn stored fat for energy]], which results in [[rapid weight loss]]. The induction phase typically lasts for two weeks and allows for the consumption of foods such as [[meats, poultry, fish, cheese, eggs]], and low-carbohydrate vegetables.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Ongoing Weight Loss==&lt;br /&gt;
In the ongoing [[weight loss phase]], the dieter gradually increases their [[carbohydrate intake]] by 5 grams per week until they reach their personal carbohydrate [[tolerance]]. This is the point at which weight loss [[stalls]] and the dieter begins to experience [[weight gain]]. The goal of this phase is to find the[[ right balance of carbohydrates, protein, and fat to maintain weight loss]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pre-Maintenance==&lt;br /&gt;
In the [[pre-maintenance phase]], the dieter continues to add carbohydrates to their diet until they reach a [[stable weight]]. The goal of this phase is to find the maximum amount of carbohydrates the dieter can consume without gaining weight. This phase lasts until the dieter reaches their [[goal weight]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Lifetime Maintenance==&lt;br /&gt;
The [[lifetime maintenance]] phase is the final stage of the Atkins diet and is designed to help the dieter maintain their weight loss for the rest of their life. In this phase, the dieter is encouraged to follow a healthy and balanced diet that includes [[carbohydrates, protein, and fat]].
