Hi Pitt!
First off, read the book and then decide if you want to do Atkins. Atkins is a high fat, moderate protein and yes carbs too. In the first stage you eat 20g of carbs (after deducting fiber) per day, you do this for two weeks. You need carbs for the nutrients and the fiber that they provide. Most people lose 10% of the amonut they wish to lose during the 2 week induction period and then 5% per month after that. This is not a fast weight loss plan but if correctly done the food choices keep you satisfied and keep your cravings under control so you can get to your goal weight.
Good luck!
Peace
