I woiuld strongly suggest you invest the $7 US it costs to buy yourself a copy of DR ATKINS NEW DIET REVOLUTION 2002 EDITIONS and learn how to do Atkins. It will be the best investment you make in yourself as it is the manual you need to do Atkins.
rungs are part of the next phase of Atkins called OWL for ongoing weight loss and are a very important food lab you will be conduction on yourself as you learn how your metabolism handles foods groups by GI and nutritional importance to your Atkins WOL. if you want the bestest chance to be a one time loser for life then get and read and reread your DANDR.
Yes, first and foremost, read the book so you understand the 'why' behind the diet as well as the correct order in which to eat/add foods.
Other good resources are the sticky's in each of the forums, but again, read the book first.
