How Long Should You Stay On Atkins?
Filed Under Atkins, Diets, How To's, Low Carb Diet, Main Content, Weight Loss
One of the common questions about a diet is how long should I stay on the plan? Some diets, especially some of the more radical “fad” diets do have time limits on them. They are drastic changes to the diet designed to lose a lot of weight in a short period of time. Is Atkins one of those plans?
No, it isn’t. the Atkins Diet is intended to be a lifelong change in eating habits and not just a short-term weight loss plan. Certainly most people focus on the weight loss aspect of the diet, and that is no doubt a major factor in its wide popularity.
But if you examine the full plan, you find it is designed as a permanent eating program and not just a way to lose weight. The Atkins Diet is designed to help you lose the weight and keep it off for the rest of your life. In effect, you can (and according to true Atkins devotees should) stick to the plan for the rest of your life.
Now, this isn’t to say that the various phases of the diet don’t have time limits on them. The Induction phase is designed to last two weeks. It could last even less, or be skipped altogether if your weight loss needs are very modest.
The Atkins plan recommends that induction not last more than two weeks, as it is designed to help bring about a rapid change in the way your body reacts to food. The indication phase is too low in carbohydrates to make for a healthy long-term dietary plan.
The ongoing weight loss phase (often called the OWL phase) is designed to last as long as it takes for you to reach your desired weight. At an average loss of 2 pounds per week, it could take most of a year to lose a large amount of weight on this phase of the plan.
There is no real time limit on this phase of the plan, but it is designed to end. It ends as you get within 5 pounds of your desired weight, no matter how long it takes you to get to that point.
The “pre-maintenance” phase will take 5-6 weeks. This is how long it will take you to raise your carb levels to the maintenance level, then lower them again just a bit to shed those last few pounds.
Then comes the lifelong phase of the diet, maintenance. This is the one part of the Atkins plan that is intended to last the rest of your life. Here, you are eating a diet that will help keep off the weight that you have lost while still maintaining a healthy overall eating plan.
So overall, the real answer to the question “how long do I stay on the Atkins Diet” is “for the rest of your life.” Of course, all but the last phase of the diet actually are designed to end after a certain period of time.
