If you're going to "try" atkins you have to start with induction, no milk, no pop, no suger, no carbs for at least 2 weeks. You'll start your morning with scrambled eggs, bacon, ham etc. Morning snack, beef, tuna, cheese etc. Lunch more of the same, meat and or cheese with super low glyciemic index veggies.
Bad thing is if you cheat you are on a death's door diet, your cholesteral will go through the roof and you'll gain weight like a mad man. If you don't cheat you'll drop weight like crazy HOWEVER the second you touch carbs/suger again you'll come out of ketosis and gain a ton of water weight - 5-10lbs in 48 hours.
BE CAREFULL!!! This is not a diet, it's a lifestyle change.
