I will post the basics of the first week according to the ORIGINAL DR ATKINS DIET REVOLUTION, not the NEW one. The main differences are that there were no NET carbs back then. You are to eat for ONE week of induction, ONLY 2 ONE CUP salads a day. One with Lunch, One with Dinner. ALL the meat you need to be SATISFIED, not full. The carbs are so low that practically anyone can lose quickly on this. Then each week you add 5-8 GROSS grams of Carbs. NOT NET. No BARS, SHAKES, SF Candy etc. This is a big kick start for MOST people on a stall. ALSO note that cream is only 4TSP a day. That was a biggie for me. lol Of course the book will be much more clear in how this works, but I know that it does. Here is the first week directly from the book:
Meat:
Steaks, corned beef, Lamb chops, hamburgers bacon, Any kind of meat in any quantity (except for meat with fillers like hot dogs, meatballs, packaged cold cuts).
Fowl: Duckling, turkey, chicken, anything with wings.

Salads: Two salads a day, each less then one cupful, loosely packed, made only of leafy greens, celery, or cukes and radishes. Dressings with vinegar, oil, salt, dry spices, herbs, grated cheese, or anchovies.
