You can pick up a copy of the book call "Dr. Atkin's New Diet Revolution" which will outline everything you need to know or you can go the atkins website to get info as well. Just do a google search for atkins diet and you'll find it. There are 4 phases that you go through. Technically, you don't just eat meat. You can also use soy protein and the like. You also eat certain vegetables and gradually add in new ones in each phase as well as nuts and berries, I believe. The whole point is that you are cutting out refined/simple carbohydrates and sugar (breads, pasta, flour and such) so that your body will burn the fat instead of the carbohydrates. The complex carbohydrates are the ones you want such as vegetables, whole grains, fruit. In the beginning, you are allowed only 20 mg of carbs. You can't have caffine, aspertime, or alcohol either. Eventually, when you go into each phase, you will add in certain carbohydrates to see what your body can handle. If your body starts gaining the weight back, then you cut back. It's a whole different way of thinking. All during this, you also do regular exercise. Just do your research and decide if this is something you want to commit to.
