That is the induction phase, which lasts only two weeks. It is designed to wean you off carbs.

After a year of very slow weight loss, I am now on maintenance. Here is my sample menu--

Breakfast, almost always a big one--Goldiburgers (minced pork from the BarBQ outfit in my town, mixed with a beaten egg and parmesan cheese, grilled like a burger). Two slices Nature's Own Toast (five impacting carbs each slice). Big bowl of fresh strawberries, a little Splenda, some heavy cream.

Lunch--Wasn't hungry, but it's not good to eat nothing. So I do what I do most days when I'm on the road, I munch on nuts. Yesterday it was pecans.

Snack--got hungry late afternoon--I keep salad greens ready to go, so I made a green salad with rich Paul Newman's creamy Caeser dressing and had just a bit of 4% cottage cheese. Dinner--still not very hungry, but family is, so I grilled some fish and made lots of broccoli and some artichokes. Ate all I wanted, with plentiful butter as a seasoning.

I happen to be more restricted as to carbs than most people on Atkins--generally, Maintenance allows for more than I can have.
