Program

Pre-maintenance is the third phase of the Atkins Nutritional Approach. You're almost there; just 10 pounds to go. You've taken total control of your eating and, you're enjoying more variety, increased your level of activity and still losing weight and you believe what millions of people have come to know - this really is a lifetime approach - and it feels fantastic.

Here's what you'll do:

You'll Feel More Empowered Than Ever...

The first two phases of Atkins guide you, now you're the one leading the charge. Eating the right foods has become second nature, being active is something you look forward to. You're running the show, running it well and losing those last 10 pounds.

You'll Discover Your Carbohydrate Equilibrium...

During Pre-Maintenance, you'll keep adding good carbs to your diet each week and continue to lose until you reach your point of equilibrium -- the point where you don't lose, or gain any more weight. We call this magic number your Atkins Carbohydrate Equilibrium, or ACE.

You'll Enjoy the Benefits of Patience...

When it comes to losing your last few pounds, slower is definitely better. It may take several months to reach your Atkins Carbohydrate Equilibrium - and that's a good thing, because this leisurely pace tells your body, "this is completely natural."

You'll Ease into Your Perfect Plan for Lifetime Maintenance...

Remember, the goal here isn't just to lose weight, but to keep it off, from now on. That's what Pre-Maintenance is all about. You fine-tune your eating during this third phase until it all becomes automatic.
