Summary: It seems to easy, but it is working.
Review: I have just finished 21 days. In addition to the diet, I walk 2 miles every other day. I have lost 20 pounds. I have lost a total from the neck, chest, stomach, hips and thighs of 24 inches. When I have lost 100 pounds, I will weigh what I did 19 years ago. At this rate, by October I should be very very close. And yes, my energy, endurance and appetite have all changed for the better.

Summary: I feel the book is one of the best I have seen
Review: I would like to ask a question in reference to Dr. Atkins book,what is new in the future? I would like to find out if Dr. Atkins isgoing to start a package food that is already pre-packaged meals? If so when? It would be like the "WEIGHT WATCHER" meals or "HEALTHY CHOICE". I think it would take off great, if so, I would like to buy stock into it, also would get the meals. I know a person who has lost over 100lbs an looks great from the diet. I have tried, but just can't get started.Thank you so much, Reader

Summary: Very good. It is working well for my daughter.
Review: I just got off the phone to my daughter who was once a hypoglycemic and she has nothing but praise for the low carbohydrate diet. She has lost 8 pounds in the two weeks that she has been on the diet and urges me to try it for my husband, her father, who is diabetic. Since he is also currently being urged by his doctor to go on a low carb, low potassium diet, we intend to give it a try. I have numerous allergies and I am willing to give it a try for myself as well. I'm also hypertensive. I'll do anything that will get my blood pressure in check and keep it that way. I'll be happy to relate my experiences post book.

Summary: Just started the diet today, wish me luck!lisa G.
Review: The testimonies are enough to encourage me to commit to this diet. Of all the diets I've heard about from acquantainces this one stands out amongst any. Everyone I talk to thats been on this diet has said nothing but good things. If they can overcome eating a minimum of carbos I can! I will give another review once I've been on it a few weeks. As far as the book is concerned, I feel that Dr. Atkins gets his point across and the Ketosis affect certainly makes sense!

Summary: This diet can be dangerous!
Review: This diet is not the miracle that so many claim it to be. Any diet is just an eating plan, nothing more. I have studied nutrition, and have a degree in both chemistry and biology. To deprive the human body of carbohydrates is harmful because the body's metabolism needs those carbohydrates to convert them into glucose, which is eventually turned into energy. Gluconeogenesis, the process of creating energy from non-carbohydrate sources, is extremely taxing on the body, and is meant only for times of extreme hardship. Many people on this diet live sedentary lifestyles. That is a dangerous thing in itself, but add a diet of eggs, meat, and cheese for almost every meal, and this diet turns into a death sentence. There is no miracle to losing weight. A balanced and moderate diet plus regular excercise is the only way to lose weight safely. I honestly think this diet is a cop-out for the millions of overweight Americans who don't want to go throught the "work" of living a healthy lifestyle. In that sense, Dr. Atkins has developed a very marketable product. Maybe I'll write a book on the fantastic weight- loss results of the methamphetamine/cocaine diet. No food, no sleep, buts lots of weight loss. Best of all, the patients love "doing" the diet. That'll be sure to sell!

Summary: Control for Type II diabetes
Review: My doctor recommended the diet for my type II diabetes (adult onset). Within 3 weeks my unmedicated sugar dropped from 292 to 85. I no longer take medication of any kind. As a side effect, I have also lost 30 pounds in 3 months. While the diet is not for everyone, the same can be said for the ADA pyramid (high carbohydrate, low fat). That diet would literally have killed me in another 5 years. For people with type II diabetes or morbid obeseity, this diet can be a life saver. Like any diet check with your doctor first.

Summary: Follow up to 4-13-99 review (cholestral)
Review: To keep you up to date on my progress. It will be 7 weeks this Wed. since I started this diet. I have now lost 32 lbs. I was worried when I started because my cholestral was 208 and was curious on how the diet would effect my health. I had my cholestral taken 1 week ago and just got the results. It has actually lowered to 181.... This is GREAT news. My husband can not believe it, however the proof is in the numbers. I tell every one about this diet and have gotten many people to begin the program. They not only have my word on it, they also can see my results. My personal goal weight started out at 72 lbs. One that I thought would take forever. But I am almost half way there. I only have 40 lbs to go. Thank you Dr. Atkins.
