Be Conscious of Portion Size

Size Really Does Matter

The Atkins diet advises being “sensible, not obsessive” about portion sizes, but for many overweight individuals whose portion education came from Outback Steakhouse and Hungry Man dinners, a little re-education is necessary.

Overeaters can struggle on Atkins if they have no concept of reasonable serving sizes. Calories still count, whether they come from chicken breasts or cookies. And eating heaping helpings of low-carb foods isn’t going to do your physique any favors.
