Dr. Atkins recommended, in his 2002 copy of DANDR, using the power of 5 when adding carbs back in to our diets and he lists the food groups in a particular order to add them back in. Atkins dieters affectionately refer to this as the OWL ladder. Below, in the order of acceptance is the definitive list. (You should add each item only when you do not stop losing. If you stop losing, stay on the current rung until you begin losing weight again.)
1. Vegetables
2. Dairy
3. Nuts and Seeds
4. Berries
5. Alcohol (usually wine & other spirits low in carbs)
6. Legumes
7. Fruits (other than berries and melons
8. Starchy vegetable
9. Whole grains
