Kickstart Your Weight Loss

Ask someone about the Atkins diet and they’re liable to say it’s the no-carb diet or the bacon-and-eggs approach to weight loss.  These are just two of the prevailing misconceptions about the popular diet.  While it’s true that Atkins promotes a wide range of lean proteins, high-fibre vegetables and good fats, the first phase of the diet, is the only one that promotes a low-carb intake.  

“It’s a common myth that the first phase of the Atkins Diet – the induction phase – represents the whole program,” says Colette Heimowitz, vice president of education and nutrition, Atkins Nutritionals. “Once you complete Phase 1, you gradually re-introduce carbs back into your diet until you reach your own carbohydrate tolerance level and goal weight.”

 
Invented in 1972, the Atkins Diet has outlasted many other fads because it works.  In fact, it is backed by more than 50 studies validating the diet’s principles and its success rate for weight loss and weight management.

And, at a time when we’re all watching costs, everything you need to follow the Atkins diet – the whole plan, all the tools, delicious recipes – is available on the website, http://ca.atkins.com. There’s no need to buy any special products or attend any meetings.
