Make sure (if you have not already) read the book,The New Atkins For A New You. The Website also has lesson links that you will want to make sure that you do. Just go to "Learn Atkins". http://community.atkins.com/all_content.jsp
Track your food in one of the trackers. Go to fitday.com or fatsecret.com. These sites do not cost anything. It will be the best accurate way to know if you are getting all of the required Protein/fats/carbs. Fatsecret.com will calculate net carbs for you,if you be sure to set your preferences to calculate Total crabs,Net carbs,Fiber,Protein,Fats and Calories.
Eat only food that are on the allowable foods list that you will find in the book as well as here on the site under"Learn Atkins".
Drink a lot of water. 64 oz is the minimum, You will want to try to drink half of your body weight in ounces of water if at all possible.
Limit artificial sweeteners to three a day and count the net carbs as 1 per sweetener.
Keep your TOTAL CARBS at 50, to insure that you remain in ketosis.
You have to eat 20 NET carbs daily. Grams of net carbs are the grams of total carbs minus the grams of fiber. That's what you want to count.
You have to get 12-15 of your NET carbs from foundation vegetables. That information will be found in the book as well as this site under"Learn Atkins". Do not go over 20 net carbs a day.
Besure to consume 4-6 ounces of protein per meal per day. Eggs are a perfect food and a great source of protein.
You want to aim for 65-70% fats, 25-30% protein and 5-10% carbs with a MINIMUM of 1500-1800 calories per day. If you excersize regularly, you may require more calories.
