| Maintenance, the final phase of the Atkins Diet, is basically
the same principal, but for life. You need to add just enough carbs to stop losing
weight, yet not regain the lost pounds. You'll know how many carbs you can eat
per day and not gain weight. For some people, this will be easy to calculate and
maintenance will be easy. Many people will need to count their carbs for the rest
of their life. Stick with the basics, and Atkins Diet is a solid, easy to
follow plan. The plan is low carb, and if one spends the entire diet looking for
low carb substitutes, the outcome just won't be the same. Low carb substitutes
add calories, money, and sometimes cravings for the authentic foods that the diet
counts as taboo. |
