Review: Well Toay is Sept 29, 1998 and I have been on the diet 8 days. I have lost 6 lbs and I am not sure how many inches but I can really tell it in my clothes. I feel better. The only downfall I have is I have had a terible headache. I am not hungry and believe me I was a big eater. I didnt snack much I just ate large quanity's of food. Never thought I could giver up french fries or stuffed baked potatoes or those wonderful rolls but I have done it. I have my mind made up I am tired of being fat this time I am going to stick to it. I am in Ketosis and have been sice the 3rd day. Makes you feel great when it turns purple. I weighed 242 and I am 32 years old and 5'5. I have a lot to lose but with the Good Lord's help and Dr. Atkins book I know I can do it. May I suggest dont just read it once read it over and over also read the reviews they are uplifting when you see so many people who have had success. Good Luck AND I WILL KEEP YOU INFORMED WITH MY RESULTS. DOWN TO 237. With 70 more pounds to go. My goal is to go from a size 22 to a 10. Another thing is the inches I know he doesnt say alot about inches but that is what I have noticed a lot. Thanks A bunch!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: I LOST 25 LBS IN 2 1/2 MONTHS!
Review: While I was excited about the lb. loss, even more significant was the inch loss- six inches from my waist in 2 1/2 months! During that same period, I had a 100 point drop on my cholesterol level from a very high 360. This was the only program that worked for me. The protein program works. Try it, you'll be glad you did!

Summary: I'm starting this because my Dad looks awesome!
Review: I saw my Dad, who lives in NY, 3000 miles from me, at Christmas 1997. He was FAT! I worried for weeks afterwards about his health. Well, I just saw him again for the first time since Christmas and WOW...he looks wonderful. Seeing him happy and healthy again is all I need to get me started, as well. I need to lose 50 plus. Wish me luck!

Summary: REAL FAT LOSS, NOT JUST WEIGHT LOSS!
Review: About two years ago I bought Dr Atkins book and decided to try the protein way again. I remembered how GREAT I FELT back in my powerlifting days. I started to lose FAT immediately. My waist became trimmer, clothes were feeling looser. My energy had increased! Muscle Tone had improved even though I wasn't going to the gym. I noticed a improvement, a substantial improvement in my hair, nails and skin. My skin started to radiate with a youthful, healthy glow. And I FELT FANTASTIC!Dr Atkins is not for everyone. It's only for those who want results! And it's only for those who are willing to separate themselves from the masses that buy in to convential wisdom on carbs and the balanced diet. By the way, I lost 30 lbs and 4 waistline inches in my first month! More importantly is that I kept, actually increased muscle while I lost fat! Typically, people lose water and muscle and very little fat. I am sold not just on Dr Atkins, but on the power of the protein diet. It really works! And it can happen for you as well. Give it a try. Feel free to e-mail me for support or troubleshooting.

Summary: Still going but slowly
Review: First two week weight lose was 9 pds but now it is 4 and a half weeks and the lose is 15 pds. I have stuck with the induction diet with only occassion salad because I really stopped losing when I had carbs even the ones in a salad and veggies. I also had to cut out cheese and I went to low fat protein. I use multi vits, calcium, and chromium. Blood pressure lowered enough to stop the meds. In retrospect, I lost 15 pds in three months on the phen/phen diet medication so this lose is okay and a lot less dangerous.

Summary: This is a great book it works.
Review: I have been on this diet for about 6 weeks, I have lost 35 Ibs. I can't beleive when I am reading this book it has all the problems that I have been having for the past 20 years. I think by taking the supplements you have no worrys, so what if they are expensive. You will feel great!!

Summary: Stick with it!!! The pay off is worth it!
Review: I have been on the Atkin's diet for 5 years now. Though you may find "reasons" to quit when you begin(so-called fatigue, dizziness, etc.), if you read the book carefully and evaluate you diet completely (did you cut out caffenine? are you keeping your carb intake below 20 grams? have you been eating any form of sugar at all--sucrose, frutose, sorbitol, anything with "ose" in the ending, honey, corn syrup--check those labels!), you will find that somewhere you are slipping! My downfall was caffenine. Once I cut that out, my weight began to fall...and fast! Please note that cardiovascular workouts are necessary to achieve optimal results. Also it is important to visit a physician before beginning this diet.

Summary: This is a miracle diet. Loose 5 lb a week without dieting
Review: I can say this in brief. This is the only thing that works. I lost 5 lbs a week enjoying delicious meals and never feeling hungry or side effect. I do recommend to use his Dieters Advantage tablets (30 day supply $24) for a faster and no side effect results. Go for it. It works.

Summary: Effective, but dull
Review: I started this diet after reading the book, borrowed from a friend. That was mid Nov. of '97. I weighed 318# and had high blood pressure. At 6'1", I have always been a person with a big appetite. I have since lost 60# and mostly kept it off. I have often "fallen off the wagon" in the past 5 months, but find I can quickly get back to the diet and at the worst maintain my weight at @ 265 - 270#. I believe that this diet is best used by those who are hugely overweight. My wife who has dropped 35# had headaches at first, but the book advises that some people lose too fast and need to increase their carbo load a little. This worked and she has had more success than I. You still have to have willpower, as this isn't magic. I find myself bored with the limitations and sometimes crave high carb items. Getting into a routine helps, but I still sometimes indulge. The beauty of this is, that if you binge, you can go right back on the diet and quickly get good results. However, after being on the diet, I find that high carb items don't taste quite as good as I remember, also I then feel bloated and miserable. I find the book very believable, and appreciate the benefits I now have, since my blood pressure is in the normal range! I have a co-worker who has lost 45# on the same diet and no longer has to take medicine for high cholesteral!!

Summary: Nauseated
Review: I did try it for four days and did not lost a pound and was nauseated. Maybe this book works for the truly obese but not for people trying to lose twenty pounds.
