Phase 1 of the Atkins diet allows you a net of 20 grams of carbohydrates per day for the first two weeks. During this phase, you add salads and other leafy green vegetables to your meals. You’ll also drink 8 glasses of water per day, which is very important to prevent dehydration as your body adjusts to this type of eating.
During Phase 2, or the “ongoing weight loss” (OWL) phase of Atkins allows an increase in carbohydrate intake, but remains at levels where weight loss continues. The allowed carbohydrate level increases each week by 5 net grams per day (as long as weight loss continues).
The goal in OWL is to find the “Critical Carbohydrate Level for Losing” and The OWL phase lasts until weight is within 10 pounds of your target weight.
