What makes Atkins different from other diet programs?

Depending upon your weight and overall health, you can personalize the diet to suit your individual needs, perhaps starting at a later phase or moving from one phase of the program to another as your needs change.
Do You Need Atkins Induction Phase?
So if you’re not looking to lose a significant amount of weight, but just maintain your current weight or reduce your reliance on carbs in your diet, you can begin with Induction or Phase 2, called Ongoing Weight Loss, where the net carbohydrate level is higher and more foods are included.
