Book Reviews of Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution
Book Review: "Watch out with this diet"
Summary: 1 Stars
Some basic points;(they refer to the maintenance regimen, not just the first two extreme weeks of the diet)1) The idea that an overabundance of carbohydrates,especially starch,may discourage fat meltdown is actually not a new one - no-one said that pigging out on any element of one's dietary intake is a good thing. The problem is that Atkins takes this idea to the extreme and removes a lot of the pleasure in food choices.In moderation, a non-processed carbohydrate intake is undoubtedly important.
2) Talk to anyone who tried the diet,WHO LOVES FOOD AND THE ENJOYMENT OF COOKING AND TRYING DIFFERENT CUISINES, and see how many of them are still on the dietary regime after 12 months - it leaves little or no room for leniency, and also is very inconvenient in its food choices - a sure recipe for failure of adherence in the long term
3)Many of the people who have tried this extreme form of dieting have had REAL problems with tiredness, lethargy, dizziness, and constipation even a few weeks into the program - I tried it myself and literally became physically nauseous (EVEN after 3 weeks)
4)Many of the societies that Atkins brings up as examples of the logic of his diet - France, for example - also consume carbohydrates regularly! (e.g. bread)
5)Many dieters end up rebounding off this diet, finding it intolerable, and then start to regain the weight even easier!
I know of one friend whose cholesterol shot up to cardiac risk factor territory after staying on this diet only for a few months - also, he suffered from a fair bit of halotosis. Like everything in life, it often helps not to take an extreme approach to any goal, including weight loss....
