Summary: THIS IS A "MUST READ' FOR ANYONE WHO HAS STRUGGLED TO DIET!
Review: I've lost 18 pounds in three and a half weeks, and I feel great. I've been frustrated all my life, trying to eat less fat and less calories, with no success. I heard about this diet from four different people before I decided to risk going on it because it's often called a "high fat" diet. (It's really "high protein, low carbohydrates".) After you read the book, you'll understand how it works and that it's not risky at all. Atkins writes so that complex concepts are easy to understand. Knowing how it works will motivate you to try the diet, and to continue on it. I never feel hungry. I eat a lot of foods I like, and I continue to lose weight. All it takes is some focus and a little willpower, but not as much as any low fat diet. Nutritional supplements are important. Be sure to take them. I highly recommend this book and this diet. Try it. You have nothing to lose, except some weight.

Summary: You're never hungry!
Review: My husband and I have been on Dr. Atkins plan for 12 days. We both lost 7 lbs. in the first 7 days. We are both still at 7 but continuing on to see what results we get in the next few weeks. I definitely have a "lighter" feeling. I can't believe how you never have to be hungry. My favorite between meal snack is any kind of nuts (but don't eat too many!). I mix cashews, shaved almonds, walnuts and spanish peanuts. Also, if we want something sweet at night, I mix up homemade whipped cream with Equal on top of Jello. Yummm. When you read the book, it all makes a lot of sense. Also, I never thought I could give up muffins, potatoes, etc. but I don't even want them! It's true! My friend is doing the so called "Mayo Clinic diet" and she is still craving carbs (probably all that grapefruit juice with the natural sugar makes her want more carbs). I'm trying to convince her to switch!

Summary: Good ideas - but this diet is NOT for everyone
Review: My doctor perscribed this diet...I followed it religiously and took the proper supplements. I was extremely fatigued - longer than the book said I should have been. Towards the end of the Induction diet, I became violently ill and had to stop. I must be one of the 5% of people who can't be on the diet...but it seems to work for everyone else. I recommend easing into the heavy duty protein consumption slowly (before starting the Induction diet) if you are not normally a meat eater. CONSULT A DOCTOR, as this program can be a serious shock to your system.

Summary: What about me?
Review: I'm very interested in beginning the Atkins diet. However I only have about 35 lbs to lose. it seems that the comments are mostly from people that began quite overweight. Does it work as well for people with only minimal wieght loss required?Pleas E mail me with success stories from anyone with lesser weight loss goals. and if possible include success stories (or unsuccessful) and time frames if their is a dramatic difference. Thanks Threelangs@aol.com

Summary: Almost a religious experience - it has changed my life
Review: I started the diet two months ago and have lost 30 pounds. The diet takes no willpower and I lost an average of slightly over three pounds a week. I feel great! My wife, family and friends can't believe I'm losing so much weight. I will stay on the diet in some form for the rest of my life. I had been gaining weight steadily since college and diets just did not work. I wish I had known about the diet years ago but I believed that only a low calorie diet could work. After the reading the book and beginning the diet it was as if a great secret was revealed to me. Although you should read the book, the diet boils down to two rules. Eat as much protein and fat as you need not to be hungry. As for carbohydrates, start very close to zero and adjust the amount based on the weight loss you experience. If you're not losing, cut the carbs. if you're losing too fast, add a few carbs. Thank you Dr. Atkins for changing my life.
