One of the great features of the Atkins Diet Plan is that you’re not eating the same menu repeatedly. First off, drink about 64 oz of clean water throughout a 24 hour period. You can also drink decaf coffee, herbal tea or diet soda, As a sweetener for the coffee or tea use stevia which can be purchased at health food stores and some super markets.
