Fact file

arrowAtkins dieters must first follow a 14 day Induction phase with a limit of 20g of carbohydrate each day (a banana contains 22g), and basically consists of meat, chicken, fish, eggs or cheese with some green and salad vegetables, butter and oil.

arrowAll carbohydrate-containing foods such as fruit, many vegetables, bread, cereals, rice, potatoes, pasta, biscuits, sugar and so on must be avoided, as must milk and yogurt.

arrowThe next phase allows slightly more carbohydrate - about 40g a day on average – to enable ongoing weight loss of 1 to 2 pounds a week.

arrowOnce dieters reach their goal weight they are advised to slightly increase their carbohydrate intake until their weight stabilises – but it should not go over 90g a day.
