Summary: READ THIS BOOK AND FOLLOW ITS LEAD
Review: I bought this book and read every word and felt this diet was for me. I have been doing this diet for three months and have lost weight. As a person with low blood sugar, I found his ideas about this problem to fit fine with me. Since I have started on the diet (which is everyday eating for me) and taking the different herbs that he recommends, my low blood sugar is not a problem now. If you have a medical problem or need to get rid of some fat, read this book. It could save your life.

Summary: it worked for me
Review: I read book completely and diet worked. I lost 10 pounds first month, which stayed off. I binged at during holidays and put most back on. However, it has started back off. The hardest part is keeping food available when I don't do shopping. I did get two surprises. Although around the second day I experienced moderate headaches, these and headaches I had been regularly getting disappeared. Also, the heartburn I had been taking several antiacids for daily completely disappeared. This surprised me because I expected I wouldn't be able to follow diet because of "gallbladder?" type heartburn whenever I ate fats. Now, I suspect it was hydrogenated fats or the combination of sugars and fats. I never get heatburn while following the diet. I'm not sure why, but no heartburn or headaches on diet. The book gives very strong credit to the diet. I would recommend anyone interested in the diet to read it. I also think opponents of the diet may want to read it to have first hand information when discussing diet with others.

Summary: dr atkins new diet revolution
Review: I really like the book and know it works but once you go off of it it is hard to get back on track the carbs just taste good and i want them not to, i really want back on it but need to find something to stop wanting the sweets and the carbs.The diet is great and some day i wish Dr. Atkins would come to Orlando Fla i would love to meet him and hear what he has to say.

Summary: It Does Work, ...
Review: I went on the Atkins' Diet after reading the book. I found the book to be very articulate and informative. I found the diet easy to stick to and satisfying, although I did miss carbohydrates. I stayed on the diet for 4 days and lost 8 pounds. I suffered though with the worst migrane headache of my life.

Summary: Worked with metabolism booster supplement.
Review: I started reading every word of the book as Dr. Atkins instructs. However, it got boring and cumbersome. So, I went right to the pages on which foods were okay and which ones were not. I lived with the book to these pages. After 2 weeks I hadn't lost anything. I don't exercise. I started taking a metabolism boosting supplement and the pounds started falling off. I have also added some carbs back. I am still loosing. Good luck.

Summary: We are Impressed!
Review: My wife, 16 year old daughter and myself started the diet just over 2 weeks ago.... were finding it very easy to stay on, mainly beacuse of how much better we are all feeling... in my own case Ive suffered from high blood pressure for years...the day before I started my pressure was 180/118 within a couple of days after starting I checked it and it had come down to 150/100... after two weeks it was amazingly 135/89...I had also become TypeII Diabetic and have found that my blood sugar levels have been in a normal zone.... We didnt weigh ourselves to start out and are not sure of exact weight loss, but we all agree that its coming off, need a new belt.... I can see where one should follow the book carefully especially not forgoing the vitamin/mineral supplements... We have found the book easy to read and go back to it every day... Enjoy and dont wait to start....

Summary: Do your own research
Review: Please do your own research to make up your mind about low carb eating. There's plenty of recent research proving that low carb eating is healthy even if you don't need to lose weight. Don't listen to the people repeating old, worn myths like -this diet will rot your kidneys, make your bones collapse, etc. Yeah, and your eyeballs will fall out too. Atkin's book is not the best written on the subject, and his induction beginning for the diet may be a shock to some people's systems, but by God, the man has been right for twenty years! He has suffered the slings and arrows of ignorance for all these years, and it's nice to see his vindication has begun. Read the book (and others) and give this way of eating a try.

Summary: Try the chemotherapy diet
Review: This diet worked for me -- for a while. When I finally couldn't stand the deprivation any more, and tried to eat normally, all I ever thought about was bread! WHITE BREAD! Anyway, I gained all the weight back plus 20 pounds more. So have all my friends and coworkers except one woman who had only 20 pounds to lose. My health care provider told me how dangerous it was. This kind of diet is a known cause of cancer. One of my friends developed breast cancer, and boy did she lose the weight! Chemo and radiation will do it every time. The Atkins diet and chemotherapy are about the same as far as I can see: effective (sometimes), but very, very dangerous.

Summary: It Works, but Found Something Better
Review: I read this book several times before starting the diet. Then I did the diet for 4 days - lost 2 lbs in 4 days, not bad. I ended up cheating because I missed my orange juice and toast, but I will tell you I felt great, I felt very "even". I also loved the fact that I could eat cheese, eggs, steak, etc. all my favorite foods. But I also eat tons of fruit and I really missed my fruit. A friend told me about Suzanne Somers Eat Great Lose Weight. Normally I would never have bought a book by Suzanne Somers but my friend lost 11lbs on it so I tried it. A lot of it is like Atkins - you can eat meat, cheese, eggs, oil, fats, etc. (and no portion control) but you can also eat carbs - pasta, bread, rice - you just don't eat them together. You can have fruit but only on an empty stomach. It's called food combining and I lost 3lbs per week, 10 lbs in a month eating all the foods I love. If you don't miss carbs, then Atkins is for you. But if you miss your cereal, bread, pasta, fruit, etc. then try this one. I felt good on Atkins, but I feel great on Suzanne Somers. Hey, the woman is in her 50s and look at her body!

Summary: Finally found the one that works!
Review: I have tried everything over the years to lose weight. I could not figure out why I was trying the low-fat route and still gaining weight! Let's see, because I was substituting bread, rice, bagels, tortillas, potatoes etc for the fats? BINGO! Every other diet I have tried has left me hungry and grumpy. This diet not only works, but it satisfies me. I have been on it for 4 months and have lost 2 sizes. It feels really nice to realize that my clothes are more loose each time I wear them. I am so convinced that I can do this for the rest of my life that I have already given away my old clothes. There's no going back for me. Put 2 & 2 together and realize that the low-fat diet has been around for years, yet obesity has risen during the same time period. LOW-FAT is not the answer (for everyone). I believe that the vast majority of people need this LOW-CARB solution.
