Summary: IT HAS HELP ME, BUT NOT A BIG WEIGHT LOSS
Review: I have now been on diet for 15 days and have only lost 5lbs. I have kept my carbohydrates to under 20grams per day. I do not know what I am doing wrong. This has been quite disappointing. I got so excited in the beginning, reading about all the stories of people losing so much weight in the induction, but this has not happen to me. I do love all of the meat,cheese & eggs that you can eat. I am going to stay on this for 3 more weeks and hope something begins to happen. The whole concept does make sense. I do go back everyday and look through the book and try and pickup on different things that I might have missed the first time. Also, if you go and get the ketosis strips that does help. Does anyone out there have any helpful hints that might speed up this weight loss?????

Summary: Nothing else has worked for me
Review: This is by far the easiest diet I've ever been on (although it's not really a diet, but a new way of life). I had 20 lbs. to lose and have lost 16 so far.I've been on the diet for 3 months and was exercising 4-5 times per week before I started. I have recommended the book to dozens of friends who have all had tremendous success with it, where they had not succeeded with any other type of diet plan in the past. God bless you, Dr. Atkins!

Summary: It is working for me and 3 other people I know!
Review: The first week I lost 9 lbs. My husband and I are following the diet and enjoying it. We still can't believe we can eat this way and lose weight. We haven't had any problems (health) and are really concious of what we eat when we are out at restaurants and with friends. It's not even hard to say no to potatoes and bread. Two of my friends are on it, one has lost at least 25 lbs and looks great. The other one is doing great also. We'll continue to eat and exercise (it's still important to do this - even if its walking) and hope we can report back later.

Summary: Incredible diet with incredible results
Review: I have been on the diet,(lifestyle change) for 3 weeks now. I have lost 15 pounds, and more importantly have more energy than ever before. I plan on sticking with it for the long haul. It is medically sound and easy to stay on. It's nice to fit into clothes I haven't been able to wear for years. One important note, TAKE the supplements Dr. Atkins recommends. Co-Enzyme Q, Chromium, Carnitine, and the high dosage multi-vitamins are very important. They absolutely work and are proven medically.

Summary: Good Diet
Review: This diet started out great for me...I lost about 13 lbs during induction....but I have been on it for 4 weeks total, and in the last 2 weeks I have not lost a pound. I guess I hit a "plateau", but it is frustrating! Has this happened to anyone? My carb count is about 25g a day. Anyone have any suggestions?

Summary: This book is definately not for everyone!!!
Review: I started the diet 5 days ago.I wanted to lose 10 to 15lbs.I felt ok at first, but on the second or third day I started having "flutters" in my chest and I felt shakey later. I drank a glass of chocolate milk and I felt fine.Although I did lose a couple pounds, it is not worth risking your health. I STRONGLY advise people to consult your doctor before you start this diet!! It is not for everyone.And as for the book,it was a little confusing because first he would say one thing and then you would read more and it would be opposite of what he said.For example: In the book he says to eat no sugar in any manner,shape,or form;but in reality you can't avoid sugar because every salad dreesing has some sugar in it and so does other items.Don't waste your money on the book. I am now off of the diet and I am just going to watch what I eat and exercise.I think that is the best form of a "diet".

Summary: i have been on this diet for 4weeks. Iam not hungry.
Review: I am not hungry but I am losing very little weight. I weigh 282. Does anyone have any suggestions? I have lost 4lbs. in 4 weeks. Is this normal? I love the fact that I can eat items I haven't had in years. I am not gaining weight. But, I had hoped to lose alot of weight in the first couple of weeks.

Summary: IT REALLY WORKS
Review: I have had a weight problem all my life, and have tried every diet there is. I couldn't stick to any diet long enough to even lose 20lbs. But in less than 2 weeks by following this diet strictly ( and enjoying it every minute of the way){except the first two days}I have lost 23 pounds.!!!!! I still have another 40 to go but I will keep on it forever. It has become a whole way of life for me!!! I keep going back to reread it over and over and find more interesting and valuable ideas and tips. If you are serious and ready for a lifestyle change, I would strongly reccomend this book.

Summary: This diet works so well I am buying extra copies for family.
Review: After gaining about 5 pounds per year since graduation from college, (15 years ago)I had to do something. I am involved in competitive athletics and my weight was preventing me from winning raquetball games, and skiing was killing my legs. I lost 15 pounds on the induction diet, over 14 days, and now, after two months, I am down 30 pounds. My body fat content has dropped from 35% to 31% over the same period of time, so I don't believe the sceptics that think that this diet burns muscle tissue. I am certain that I will be able to loose another 45 pounds over the course of the year! I mean, how can you go wrong eating as much steak, hamburger, lamb, eggs, cheese, ect.. ? These are my favorite foods! I really do miss eating bread, however. I admit that in the first two weeks, I ran out of energy in the early afternoon, but that soon stopped and now, I feel like I have even more energy than before. It is easier to get up in the morning, and it is nice to go to my taylor and have him take up the slack in my business suits.

Summary: I've lost and kept off 50 lbs.
Review: I started the Dr. Atkins diet in June of 1998 and have lost 50lbs. I've waited this long before I wrote a review because I wanted to see how easy it was to keep the weight off and so far it has been easy. Read the book and follow it without cheating for two weeks and you will not only lose weight but you will lose your cravings (addictions) to sugars, breads and other carbohydrates. This book will change your life. Good luck.
