If you are considering going on the Atkins diet to lose weight take a look at the Atkins diet daily menu and foods you can eat on this weight loss diet, as well as learn about the pros and cons of the Atkins diet.

1. Atkins Diet Daily Menu
The Atkins diet daily menu requires that you eat 20 grams of carbs per
day or less.
Before we go into the Atkins diet menu it’s a good idea to learn a bit
about how the AtkinsDiet works by reading below and check out the
pros and cons of the Atkins diet.
One thing to note about this diet is that it is a long-term diet. The
premise of the Atkins diet plan is that by reducing the amount of carbs
you eat you speed up your metabolism.
When your metabolism speeds up, something called ketosis occurs.
Ketosis is a body state that happens when fat gets converted to energy.
The Atkins diet promotes foods which are low in carbs and avoids
starchy foods.
You could think of the Atkins diet as a green diet. It requires that you eat
a lot of green vegetables such as green beans, lettuce, collard greens,
spinach, peas and cabbage.
On the Dr. Atkins diet you have to avoid foods which are high in sugar,
so no fruit is included. However once you body gets into ketosis it’s
alright to add a bit of fruit to your diet.
Another diet which involves not eating sugar or starch is the no sugar,
no flour diet here.
The Atkins diet plan requires that you must also avoid starches, so no
bread, potatoes or pasta. After the first week on the Atkins diet you can
have some wheat bread. No breaded meats are allowed and if you’re
having chicken and it’s fried and breaded you have to remove the
breaded skin.
The Atkins diet requires that you add lots of meat such as chicken, steak,
turkey and fish. High fat meats should be avoided.

2. Atkins Diet Daily Menu
The following will give you some idea what is included on the Atkins
diet menu.
Atkins Breakfast
The first meal of the day starts with protein. Boil or scramble three eggs.
Fry some strips of bacon and two sausage patties. If you want you can
substitute turkey burgers for the sausage. Drink water or tea and if you
want coffee use Splenda or some other sugar substitute.
Atkins Lunch
A good choice is chicken salad because of the protein and energy you’ll
get. Mix up the lettuce with other leafy greens along with chopped
carrots and sliced tomatoes. Then grill 6 oz. of chicken and add to the
salad. Boil an egg and add. Then sprinkle the salad with Romano cheese
and top it off with balsamic vinegar dressing. Again avoid sugary drinks
and have some sparkling water.
Atkins Dinner
For dinner a great choice is fish like Tilapia, tuna or salmon. Fry two fish
fillets and add salt. If you like you can add red pepper flakes. To have
with it make a salad of leafy greens, diced celery and chopped onions
with Caesar dressing. To have with the fish boil some broccoli and melt
butter over it. Then dice a tomato and add some salt to go with the
broccoli. You can substitute cauliflower for the broccoli.
Make sure to avoid foods with lots of simple carbohydrates like pasta,
potatoes, white bread and rice.
