Really interesting and I lost a ton of weight when I did this, felt great, etc. Problem is that you can't give a diet book five stars or i would. He gets a horrible rap, but I was amazed to see how easy it was for people to cut the crap and trim down on it, no starvation required. Amen.

I've lost 90+ pounds since February of 2010, using the 'Atkins' method specified in this book. Its been much easier than I ever could have imagined. I don't think this system is for everybody (due to the vagaries of human physiology; we're not all the same, and this program will work much better for some, than it will for others), but you should give it a try and see if its for you. It may very well have saved my life, and I felt several hundred percent better within a week of going on the Atkin..more

Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution is a book that puts you on a diet that really works. Dr. Atkins first wrote about his diet in the early 70's. I tried the diet and lost 15 pounds in the first two months. But then life took over, and being young and Italian, there was no way I was passing up bread, pasta and pizza.
Fast forward thirty five years later. My weight had ballooned up to 235 pounds, even though I was working out at the gym 5-6 days a week. I met a friend at the gym who had obviously lost..more

I wouldn't have read this book except that my husband was advised by his doctor to try out the Atkins diet, and I'm glad I did.

Many people don't lose weight on high carbohydrate, low fat diets. A of people think the Atkins Diet is 'all meat, all fat', but reading this book, I can see it's not about eating protein all the time. He advocates salads, vegetables, fruits and low-carb desserts. In the most protein-heavy part of the diet, the Induction period, lasting about a week, he advocates two cups of salad daily. It's actually healthier than the way most Americans eat. I would say most Americans don't eat two cups of sal..more

My issue with this book was not the basic tenets of the diet--I have been on low-carb diets before and find Dr. Atkins' approach, incorporating large amounts of fat for satiety and ketosis/lipolysis, to be a reasonable one, and his explanations of the processes are good. However, by the end of the book, I could no longer stand his tone, which was worse than condescending.

After reading Why We Get Fat and it made so much sense, this was the natural follow-up. After finishing the entire book I began following Atkins (or as close as I could) and in all honesty have never felt better in my life. I can only assume all those carbs were wearing me down.

I love this book. I read it many years ago and it was one of the first diets I tried that actually works. I love how Dr. Atkins explains the science behind why the diet works and I love how he gives actual case studies of his patients. This is the diet that I always come back to because it works and one day hopefully I can make it my permanent way of eating, as that is the point of Atkins, meaning, it's not a 'diet', but the way that you eat for life.

The Atkins approach is the only thing that has ever really worked for me and the only thing that has ever made any sense for how my body functions. Hard to believe people still think they 'know' what Atkins is (only bacon and butter! bad for your kidneys!) when they have never even read the book..
Would recommend this to anyone needing to lose weight or just wanting to feel more alert and alive every day. It might not work for everyone's body type but it certainly works for mine!

Just reading it to see 'what the horse's mouth' actually said. I don't know if the 'induction phase' of 20 g carbs a day is necessary (or safe). Maybe the 2nd phase is useful. But I think any diet that keeps your blood sugar lower has merit. And some high fiber foods have a high glycemic index, like whole wheat breads and cereals:

I'm glad I borrowed this and didn't spend money on it. At the time, I had no idea what Atkins was about, but a little reading made me realize that; a) you may as well mainline pure grease into your body; and b) vegans can't do it.

This is the 'secret' to achieving and maintaining weightloss. This way of eating is the most pain-free method of losing weight. Read this without pre-conceived ideas. I am recommending this to anyone who expresses the wish to lose weight!

Learned about a healthy low carb program. During induction, only 20grams per day. Induction is intended to reset metabolism. Personally, I benefit from this diet, even though I don't need to lose weight, I do need to eat low carb, as I have carb intolerance.
Many people testify to the benefits of this program, although it is not for everyone. After all, not everybody needs to curb carbohydrate consumption, only some of us.

Overall, dr Atkins gets one point right, and that is the carbohydrate restriction. When he talks about it, he refers to available scientific literature that supports it. Other things - not so much. I find his anti-cholesterol stance to be outdated, his opinion on seed oils to be uninformed, and his candida proliferation hypothesis to be weak.

I'm glad I borrowed this and didn't spend money on it. At the time, I had no idea what Atkins was about, but a little reading made me realize that; a) you may as well mainline pure grease into your body; and b) vegans can't do it.

This is the 'secret' to achieving and maintaining weightloss. This way of eating is the most pain-free method of losing weight. Read this without pre-conceived ideas. I am recommending this to anyone who expresses the wish to lose weight!

No way I could eat like this without getting sick. Tried this in 2003.

Learned about a healthy low carb program. During induction, only 20grams per day. Induction is intended to reset metabolism. Personally, I benefit from this diet, even though I don't need to lose weight, I do need to eat low carb, as I have carb intolerance.
Many people testify to the benefits of this program, although it is not for everyone. After all, not everybody needs to curb carbohydrate consumption, only some of us.

Read the 1992 edition, Polish translation.
Overall, dr Atkins gets one point right, and that is the carbohydrate restriction. When he talks about it, he refers to available scientific literature that supports it. Other things - not so much. I find his anti-cholesterol stance to be outdated, his opinion on seed oils to be uninformed, and his candida proliferation hypothesis to be weak.
Still, the book is readable, not very long, and gives adequate advice for someone on a standard western diet. Dr..more

Robert Atkins, Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution (Quill, 2002)
Well, you can't beat the Atkins Diet for sheer number of coverts. Millions of people are following the Atkins Nutritional Plan, and all of them seem to be losing weight. The only 'official' bureau to have come out against it has been exposed as a lunatic fringe of militant vegan doctors, and once again all is right with the world. Or is it?

depending on how you execute his dietary guidelines, you may or may not be setting yourself up for an increased risk of cancer and heart attack. there's lots of long term evidence that increased intake of animal proteins is linked to increased risk of a wide spectrum of cancers. that said.

The book is interesting, although I don't quite think it is speaking to me.
Why? Because I'm not dramatically overweight, nor have I tried and failed all my life to lose weight. In fact I've never tried before.
I#m only a little overweight so I'm not entirely convinced that I need to dramatically drop my consumption of carbs. It's taken me perhaps 12 years to put on 14 pounds of excess weight, and that's while eating no shortage of rice, pasta and spuds..so I'm not convinced that continuing to..more

All good stuff and good inspiring food illustrations and recipes. I used the basis of this diet to lose 6-8 kilos, and kept it off, rather than that plague-all of slowly gaining it back again, because this diet forces you to really re-vamp your food habits, but in a nice way. The basic principle is a little risky if you pursue it for too long, but I reckon it is safe for at least a few weeks if you are reasonably healthy anyway, that is, it is a protein diet so your body learns not to rely on st..more

'Eat either three regular-size meals a day or four or five smaller meals. Do not skip meals or go more than six waking hours without eating.
2. Eat liberally of combinations of fat and protein in the form of poultry, fish, shellfish, eggs and red meat, as well as of pure, natural fat in the form of butter, mayonnaise, olive oil, safflower, sunflower and other vegetable oils (preferably expeller-pressed or cold-pressed).
3. Eat no more than 20 grams a day of carbohydrate, most of which must come in the form of salad greens and other vegetables. You can eat approximately three cups-loosely packed-of salad, or two cups of salad plus one cup of other vegetables (see the list of acceptable vegetables on page 110).
4. Eat absolutely no fruit, bread, pasta, grains, starchy vegetables or dairy products other than cheese, cream or butter. Do not eat nuts or seeds in the first two weeks. Foods that combine protein and carbohydrates, such as chickpeas, kidney beans and other legumes, are not permitted at this time.
5. Eat nothing that is not on the acceptable foods list. And that means absolutely nothing! Your 'just this one taste won't hurt' rationalization is the kiss of failure during this phase of Atkins.
6. Adjust the quantity you eat to suit your appetite, especially as it decreases. When hungry, eat the amount that makes you feel satisfied but not stuffed. When not hungry, eat a small controlled carbohydrate snack to accompany your nutritional supplements.
7. Don't assume any food is low in carbohydrate-instead read labels! Check the carb count (it's on every package) or use the carbohydrate gram counter in this book.
8. Eat out as often as you wish but be on guard for hidden carbs in gravies, sauces and dressings. Gravy is often made with flour or cornstarch, and sugar is sometimes an ingredient in salad dressing.
9. Avoid foods or drinks sweetened with aspartame. Instead, use sucralose or saccharin. Be sure to count each packet of any of these as 1 gram of carbs.
10. Avoid coffee, tea and soft drinks that contain caffeine. Excessive caffeine has been shown to cause low blood sugar, which can make you crave sugar.
11. Drink at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day to hydrate your body, avoid constipation and flush out the by-products of burning fat.
12. If you are constipated, mix a tablespoon or more of psyllium husks in a cup or more of water and drink daily. Or mix ground flaxseed into a shake or sprinkle wheat bran on a salad or vegetables.' — 1 likes
