Summary: Very Interesting!!!
Review: The book no doubt is very interesting to read. However there's not much calcium you get from this diet. I am just on my 3rd day and I'm missing the fruits, milk, yogurt, etc.. Yes it's true that your hunger is suppressed as well as your apetitie which is great. Howevr I am getting tired of eating eggs, bacon, ham for breakfast each day. Also can someone suggest where can we go to get all these cholestrol, triglycerides, tests done. i yet have to get mine done.

Summary: Sorry Nay-sayers this one works.
Review: This really is not a diet per say. The first 14 days are a diet in the traditional sence. After this period you slowly add back some "healthy" carbs, veggies, even some fruits. You never go back to pasta, white bread, sugar and the like. I have lost 11 lbs in the first two weeks and feel great. I am really tired of so called "health specialist" who are often "people who work in health clubs" chiming in with their limited knowledge. All I can say is this. Try it. You will feel great and be amazed. Low fat, high carb diets are great for gaining weight. I should know I have gained on them for years. The Atkin's way of eating works and is a realistic lifelong nutrition plan.

Summary: Love the diet, but have some concerns
Review: Hi, I have a major concern. I am in the beginning of my 2nd week, and so far I have lost 8 pounds. I am very happy, but last night I got quite a scare. I started feeling very weak and lightheaded, almost to the point of passing out. It reminded me of my diabetic grandmother who got weak and dizzy when she needed sugar. I also want to add that I had what was like tunnel vision, where my sight was blurry around the edges.

Summary: It REALLY Works!!!
Review: I found my self lathargic, lacking energy, and often sleepy consuming society's standard idea of food. After 3 days, I felt more energetic and felt much better! After 11 days, I have lost 11 pounds, one per day. I feel great!!

Summary: Sounds great, but why the need for supplements?
Review: I have tried these diets, but they seem unsound. The fact that you must cut back on fruit and vegetables is worrying. Reminder: most of the cancer fighting chemicals are found in vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli, etc.Also, why the need for supplements and the problems with potassium, etc? This should turn off most people. Consider: our ancestors didn't have access to supplements! Another way to approach this problem is to avoid desserts and softdrinks. You don't need these "foods". They're useless and potentially harmful, even if the only danger is diabetes. And also, kick the caffeine habit - believe me you'll feel much better. For those not interested in dramatic weightloss - which is bad for you - try eating mainly carbohydrate or mainly protein meals, but never mix the two. Also, don't overeat and you will lose weight. Remember: weightloss is not a competition - its about being healthy so focus on eating healthy, not which foods will make you loose weight.

Summary: It really works, don't let any one else sway you otherwise.
Review: My mother did this diet about 20 years ago and was very successful in losing 56 pounds in about4 months. She kept that off for over 9 years, until my father and mother divorced and she put back about 40 of those pounds over a 3 year period. Did the diet again and lost 36 pounds in 6 weeks. I did this diet once when I was a senior in high school and lost 20 pounds over the 2 week Christmas break. After having my baby I did this diet again (I also fell into the trap of low fat or low calorie dieting) and its going wonderful. My husband and I started it together, going through the fridge and cupboards tossing anything that had high carbs and temptations. After being on this diet for 8 days I have lost 10 pounds and my husband a whooping 20 pounds. He has about 40 more to go as I also have the same. We do ride bikes every day, rain or shine. My husband is although for some reason staying below 12 carbs a day. Perhaps this is why he dropped so much, including the 12 miles a day we ride on our Mountain bikes. I've searched the web for good recipe ideas and tips to get over the munches etc. Makes it a lot more easy to do. I don't even miss the pasta and breads and other things now. Since the scale has gone down as the tape measure has also, that alone is enough to make me stay true to the diet. We do not drink caffiene and use very very little artificial sweeteners. IT REALLY WORKS! I'm going to get a new wardrobe this Christmas since I should be in my goal weight!!!

Summary: My Work Partner Lost 12 Pounds and She Looks Great!
Review: My Co Worker lost 12 pounds in a 1 week and a 1/2 so far and she loves the diet. She has tried other diets before, such as having a power shake. She would loose 5 pounds and that was it. She was able to break past the 5 pounds, I was very impressed with it. She has told me she is never hungry on the diet and has a lot more energy. I just started the diet today and am hoping to lose at least 10 pounds, then Ill skinny for the first time since highscool(I'm now 25) I like meat and cheese so I have no problem with this diet and I am not a big fan of fruits and vegetables anyway, this is a perfect diet for me! Im glad I heard about from my co-worker and I'll write another entry about myself hopefully soon!

Summary: It Works for me.
Review: I was turned on to this book by a co-worked who had tried it a while back. I thought after listening to him tell me what I could eat, that he was full of bull. But being overweight for the last 10 years, and trying every diet there was, I was ready to give it a try. To my supprise I have lost 30 pounds in 4 months. My doctor is amazed. I am also a diabetic, on oral medication, and my blood sugar is controllable now. Before it was all over the place no matter what I did to control it. So in closing It may sound like a snake oil salesman's pitch, but I have tried it and I am going to stick with it until I loose the rest of the 100lbs. By the way I have a bum knee and can't do a lot of exercising, so this eating plan is the best.

Summary: 11 DAYS AND COUNTING
Review: I have lost 6 lbs and my husband 8lbs in those 11 days. We lost that weight in the first 5 or 6 days and have not lost any weight since. In fact, gained 1-2 lbs back. We re-evaluated what we've been taking in throughout the day and have come to the conclusion that it was possibly the Equal and caffeinated coffee we were drinking that was holding us back although the ketostix state he is in small ketosis and I am in moderate. Has anyone found out this to be true about Equal? Would love anyone's comments about that. Hope to lose at least 30 lbs if possible and my husband 50lbs. but need encouragement to continue.
