This video deals with one of the most misunderstood topics of the Atkins Diet or Low Carbing in general. That is how to stay at goal once you get there and the problems that often confront those at goal. I relate that people at Maintenance are like people who have just repaid a large loan or got out of bankruptcy with everything paid.

In this Atkins Diet Quick Hits video deal the question “how fast did I lose the weight?” and “if you lost it slower, do you think loose skin would be less prevalent?” I responded that I averaged about 4.3 pounds per week during much of the weight loss phase, and over 3 pounds throughout the 15 months of the diet.

In the fourth video of the “Atkins Diet Quick Hits” series, I deal with a question I get from new people asking about a certain lower carb food or frankenfood and if it is ok due to its low carb. It is often not on the Acceptable Foods List or filled with ingredients not on the list. This is when I get into the discussion why the first phase of the diet is more than just reduce your carbs to less than 20g per day.

Here are the main goals of any Induction phase:
1.) Get into ketosis and see its benefits
2.) Get used to the food selection
3.) Control one’s eating habits and prove that control to yourself
4.) Set stage for future weight loss and ability to detect future problem foods when you readd them later

Not following the Induction rules and the Acceptable Foods List erodes the guarantee of your success.
