Book Reviews of Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution, New and Revised Edition
Book Review: Not Really the Atkins Diet. It's a diet created to sell shakes and bars for a corporation.
Summary: 2 Stars
This diet was re-developed after Dr. Atkins died. It very well might work for some people, but it's a crazy diet. How much of your diet is protein, fat, how many "net" carbs are you eating, how much of that is coming from vegetables? Do you spin around three times in the presence of a full moon? It's terribly convoluted. You might as well be counting calories and fat intake.
Dr. Aktins didn't even wish to develop any of those bars or shakes and they are to be used occasionally. This diet stalls weight loss. In addition, if you have ever logged on to the official Atkins forum you will find self righteous, odd people that are anything BUT helpful.
I would suggest this site: [...]
I would also suggest purchasing the Atkins book pre-2002. It can be found on Amazon. If you are serious about loosing weight on a healthy low carb diet, I would also suggest you visit [...].
As for me, I wrote a review about the 1972 version of the Atkins diet.
In 1998 I lost over 60 pounds on the Atkins diet and three of my friends lost anywhere between 60-120 pounds on the Atkins. All of my friends have kept of the weight since then. I didn't. I gained when I was expecting my son. After the birth of my son, I lost the weight again, in 2005. It dropped off immediately as soon as I could stomach more protein in my diet.
I regained about 25-30 pounds in the last six months of 2008. In less than 8 weeks I lost 25 pounds. I have only five pounds more to get rid of. I tried to get rid of this weight in the last few months of 2008 and realized that I was on the Dr. Atkins NEW Diet Revolution. I struggled for two month and gave up until one of my friends returned the Original Atkins to me. I had no idea that I was doing a completely different diet.
Allow me to dispel some myths about the original Atkins...
1. I cut out NO food groups, unless you consider processed food, potatoes, white rice, white flour and sugar a food group.
2. I eat more vegetables and fruit than meat.
3. Cooking this way is gourmet. It is time consuming, but it is really good food.
4. I can eat at fast food restaurants, but I eat side salads and sandwiches without buns.
5. I make pies, cakes, muffins, and pancakes. I just use whey powder, sesame seed mill, almond flower and flax seed mill.
6. You can maintain the weight loss. You just have to create a different lifestyle.
7. There is nothing unhealthy about this lifestyle. The Induction period is difficult and if you stay on it for long periods of time, well, maybe it could be damaging. But as I said, I cut out NO food group.
The Original Atkins diet is work. It's so worth it though.
If you have had problems loosing weight on calorie counting, I promise, if you follow the original diet you will get rid of it! You have to be committed. It is a lifestyle the requires you never to allow processed food to pass your lips. Hey, I'm back into a size 4. I've been there 10 out of 12 years thanks to Dr. Atkins original diet. Here's my stats after a visit to my G.P.:After a trip to my G.P today (March 23, 2009) my Total Cholesterol Levels are 142, Triglycerides are 98 and my HDL cholesterol are at 76. Measured BMI is 22%! Tell me that this is the most unhealthy diet in the world. I'm in better shape than most 25 year olds.
