Summary: Destroying the low-fat myth!
Review: After years of struggling to lose weight using the low-fat myth and failing, I have finaly found the key to success. This program does allow you to eat luxuriously and to your fill: no deprivation here!After 24 days, I have lost 23 pounds eating low carb on the Atkin's plan. My advice to you is READ THE BOOK. Don't merely skim through it because you need to fully understand what is happening to your body. You will be amazed at the symptoms of hyperinsulinism (wow! that's me!) and shocked that, if you continue your high carb lifestyle you will surely head down the path toward adult-onset diabetes! During my first two days of induction, I did experience light-headedness. However, I realized I was having withdrawal symptoms. Afterall, I had been a "junkie" for so long, a carb junkie. Since then I have felt wonderful physically and mentally to the point that my asthma has improved considerably. When you are on OWL, try the low carb recipes to give yourself variety and treats....his low-carb vanilla ice cream, the italian sponge cake, low carb cheesecake recipes....and this is dieting!?!? It certainly is....good luck and bon appetite!

Summary: thank you!
Review: knowledge is power! For years and years, I thought that my overweight condition was the result of lack of willpower...until about three years ago when i became a strict vegan hardcore exerciser...I actually gained 15 pounds as a vegan(almost all carbs)...I began this program at the end of January and have lost ten pounds...More importantly, though, my clothes are getting bigger and bigger...everyone in my life is starting to notice...I am most thankful, though, that I no longer have to beat up on myself..my body was just getting the wrong kinds of food...

Summary: I wish I would have known about this a long time ago
Review: A friend of mine recommended Sugarbusters to me. I bought it. I half-heartedly tried to follow it with some results but had difficulty understanding all this glycemic index stuff and I am a health care professional. After gaining an additional 19 pounds when I quit smoking, I realized something had to be done. I bought Dr. Atkins' book. This is much easier--if you can read a label, you can count the carbs. Easy. I seriously began the diet on January 3, 1999 and to date I have lost 27 pounds. I plan to be down to a close to ideal weight by summer. By the way, the people who work in the cafeteria at the hospital I work at kept saying--what are you trying to do, eating bacon, sausage and eggs for breakfast every morning, kill yourself? I recently had a check-up, cholesterol 167!! Blood pressure 100/70. You know I had to go brag to them and now they want to know all about this diet I'm on. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is serious about making a change in their lives. It is working for me.

Summary: This is why some give 1 or 2 stars...
Review: Some people here are giving one or two stars saying this diet causes them to have no or little energy. Some say they feel lightheaded and so on. You have to realize, as Dr. Atkins says in the book, that not everybody can loose on a diet like this one. Not everyone's metabolism is compatible. But if you are, and there's a 90% chance you are, then this diet works wonders. I've been on it only 5 days so far and have lost 5 pounds! A pound a day. This rapid weight loss is only during the first 14 days, during the "Inducton Diet." After this you can adjust your level of carbs to suit your metabolism and the weight loss drops to about 3-4 pounds weekly. That is still better than low-fat diets at about 2 pounds a week. I highly recommend it!!

Summary: It Works!
Review: I was VERY skeptical about this diet, but a friend of mine lost 30 pounds doing it, so I figured I'd give it a try. WOW... after the first 20 days, I had lost 15 pounds. Now I'm losing steadily... a pound here, a pound there. Check out the News Group alt.diet.support.low-carb for some helpful hints the book doesn't have. Blue skies!

Summary: good at first, but tired of protein
Review: I have been on the Atkins diet for approximately 20 days and have lost approximately 12 pounds. At first I enjoyed eating all the meat and protein, but now I am craving fruits and vegtables. Anyone have any ideas on what to do. I did have one day where I ate pizza and I think it triggered the cravings. I know that if this is going to be a lifetime adventure, I will need to have a balance. Need to have suggestions on a "treat" that is low in carbohydrate.

Summary: It has change my life forever
Review: I'm 28 and since 6 years ago I was trying to lose 16 pounds, I'd tried everything from pills to acupunture and nothing because I love to cook and to eat, I know that I wasn't fat but for my body and composture I was a little over weight. Now I'm a happy person, I have to thank to 2 doctors this change in my life, first Dr. Dittel a friend who told me about the book and second to Dr. Atkins the creator for this sociable, and delicious diet. It took me two months without breaking it once to lose 16 pounds, and after that came Christmas that I had to eat everything for compromise and even though I didn't earn a pound. And If I did so, now I know the secret of this diet and I know that for me it has worked perfectly and that I can eat what I like most without thinking that I'm in diet. Another thing is that I had prove the nutricionist doctors and the physical trainers that this diet has work, they have seen the results, and as them I had convinced my mother, and her friends that are making the diet themselves. I want to thank again Dr. Atkins for this change in my life, no I don't get exhausted when walking and climbing stairs, And of course my self steem is A plus, I'm the happiest woman in the world from been size 10 to size 4. Thank you for the secret.

Summary: this diet really works!!!
Review: I have done the Dr. Atkins diet 2x in the past. I am now on my third go round. The first 2x i lost 60 pounds each time, but unfortunatley gained some of the weight back due to pregnancy and going back to my old ways of eating. This is a life changing det and now my goal is to lose 30 pounds in 3 months, which I know is possible because the 2 previous times I had a 6 month achievement goal. I wish I could tell the Dr. how much he changed my life. I know now that I dont have to starve myself and that i can control he way my body looks. I also have learned exactly hw the body works and it really is a machine and you have to put the right fuel in it to make it work to its maximum!!
