Summary: very dissappointing
Comment: I ordered this book with trust that all of the pages would be intact even though it was used. There were complete chapters missing. ( Deliberately torn out. I would think the seller would have checked the book before placing it on sale. )Very dissappointing but I think the cost of returning th ebook is more than I paid for the used book so i have just learned my lesson not to order used books which claim to be "good as new".

Summary: Lost 4 lbs in 1 week...this REALLY works.
Comment: This is not a fad diet, to me, this is a whole new eating lifestyle!
I must admit that I was a bit reluctant to try this "low carb, high fat" diet, but I've tried EVERYTHING and nothing seemed to work!
I used to workout 5x a week last year and was on a low calorie diet, and I lost only 4 lbs in 2 months.
Disappointed and discouraged with my results, I just stopped going to the gym.
Low calorie diets DON'T work for me - I used to stock up on lean cuisine meals whenever they would go on sale, because I thought it was convenient and easy to count calories that way.
However, I am hungry an hour later after eating a lean cuisine meal.
So I just recently took a step back and analyzed my eating habits - lots of "low calorie" foods but high in carb.
I ate lots of oatmeal, wheat bread, sugary granola bars that I thought were healthy, those "100 calorie" snacks etc - I was ALWAYS hungry.
That's when I realized that I wouldn't be able to lose any weight this way, and that I had to reanalyze my eating habits.
That's when I started researching about low carb diets and found Dr. Atkin's book. It made a lot of sense to me....as I read it at the bookstore, the words "ah ha!" kept repeating in my head.
I quickly purchased the book (earlier this week) and I've already lost 4 lbs. Sure, it's probably water weight, but I FEEL great. I see and feel myself getting thinner, I'm NEVER hungry and I don't crave sweets at all.
I'm not following the induction phase thoroughly, but I'm maintaining a low carb intake.
If I want veggies, I'll eat it. Fruits? I'll have an apple and munch on grilled chicken to keep my insulin levels in check. Bread? I'll have a slice of low carb 5g wheat bread with cheese.
I just got back from a party and needless to say, they had a wide array of delicious sweets & tempting food - but I wasn't craving any of it...and this is coming from a girl that loves to bake cupcakes, pastries and desserts!
I now snack on sugar-free jello gelatin when I'm in the mood for something sweet.
I had 1/2 of a cupcake and ate grilled chicken kabob right after. The point is, keep it balanced...moderation is key, you CAN have a low carb lifestyle. It doesn't mean you can never have a cupcake/donut again, just listen to your body and don't abuse it. If I want a donut, I'll eat 1/3 of one with an egg white omelette.
I never eat carbs alone, I always pair it with some sort of protein...it's working for me so far :)
I have a wedding to attend in 3 weeks, so I'll definitely stick with this low carb phenomenon. Thank you Dr. Atkins for showing me the way....I've been getting compliments from family members & friends and it hasn't even been a week!
Give it a shot! It's totally worth it :)

Summary: An oldie, but a goodie. The original lifestyle is still the very best.
Comment: In 1998, I lost over 50 pounds on the original Atkins Lifestyle diet, the book I am reviewing now. In 2004, after the birth of my child, I needed to lose the 20 pounds that I gained whilst expecting. I went back on the original diet and lost in in about 4 months or less.

The original tried and true Dr. Atkins Diet Revolution allowed me to lose about four pounds to kick the diet off in the first week, gave me a ton of energy, and gradually allowed me to lose the rest of the weight after the introduction without problems or cravings.

I have lived on this diet for nearly 10 years and have never gained back the weight that I had lost (except for expecting a child). It's been easier to maintain weight loss with this lifestyle/diet than any other diet I have been on.

Some people have a very difficult time following the diet. If one is a vegan, this diet will really never work, if one is addicted to processed wheat flour and sugar...there's hope. In about a week one loses that addiction.

This diet/lifestyle has been given a bad name by various groups, physicians and people. I believe that those whom disagree with this diet only focus on the "Induction" period.

Here's a glimpse inside this diet: It's basically knowing how many complex carbohydrates your body can handle on a daily bases (instead of calories) and it's about cutting out all processed foods. It works on the premise that sugar carbohydrates make a person fat, not fat.

I tried the current, Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution. It is my understanding that this diet was modified by a corporation that purchased Dr. Atkins products and rights when he went into retirement. This diet focuses on promoting their bars, shakes, and other convenient items. I really didn't care for that. Those things slow down one's progress and keep you dependant on convenient foods that really aren't that good for you. I also went on the official Atkins site and joined their message board. There's a lot of very crabby people on that message board. I'm guessing that this new diet isn't working very well for them either.
