Summary: Update From Sacramento--Still Working
Review: Have Been On Diet Since July 20, 1999, and after starting at 270 (6' tall), I just dropped below 200 for the first time in over fifteen years. I am about 16 pounds from my original goal weight (184, my high allowed weight on the insurance tables), but am now considering lowering that goal somewhat because it just keeps working so well. I am still losing between 6 to 8 pounds per month. I feel better than I have in years. In Sept. after losing over 30 lbs., I wrote and just hoped it kept going, now I know it does.

Summary: Myth shattering!
Review: The only problem with this book is that it is so radical it is hard to believe. Our entire lives it has been engrained that fruits and vegatables are the key to a slim body and healthy life. Dr. Atkins say 'NO'. These are the foods that make you immunosupressed and overweight. He says it's fine to eat foods high in saturated fat. Its fine to eat animal protein in large amounts. Can this be right? All I can say is, if you have been trying for years to shed those pounds so you can feel GOOD again, then you should at least try the diet for the first two weeks. You will feel so much better, I think you will never go back to you're old ways of eating.

Summary: The Best Diet Ever
Review: I have been overweight scence I was nine years old. I am 16 now and I was overweght until four months ago. I heard about the diet on tv and I went and got the book after I saw the results the people on tv were getting. Before I started the diet I was 252 lbs. And I was only 5'7". SO I looked horible. I was always tiered. Ia could not exersise without getting out of breath and I had very high blood presure. The diet was easy for me becuse I liked meat and if you don't like it you probly wont have the results that I had. I was loosing an amazing 5 lbs a week. I was liking those results. Now four months later I am a happy 178 lbs and have a blood presure of 145/63 and now I am 5'11". I feel the best I have ever felt in my life. I am happier and more secure with myself. SO I recomend this diet to anyone with problems loosing weight and who hate all the other diets out there.

Summary: BE HEALTHY FEEL HEALTHY
Review: I have nine friends and clients on this diet now. All are showing positive results including myself (lost 28lbs in 10 weeks and I feel great!).But I agree you must read the book fully first. If you don't, like anything not done correctly, you could do yourself harm. But that doesn't make it dangerous. The bible is just as dangerous, if you only read the old testament then you'll believe in and "eye for and eye, and a tooth for a tooth...", but read on and you discover "Thou shalt not kill...". 'The New Diet Revolution' is like the bible in that it is full of hidden/important information that must be digested in its entirety. Dr Atkins book is the Bible of diets!

Summary: Be careful!
Review: Dr. Atkins is laughing all the way to the vita-nutrient bank...visit his well-publicized- throughout-the-book web site to visit his one man industry, built with your bucks, at the expense of your bodies. I lost a pound a day on this diet...great, eh? I also got violently ill and have possibly damaged my gall bladder (which was perfectly A-OK before trying this diet) for life. It only took a week for this to happen. The book went in the trash...and that was too good for it. Dr. Atkins, you are quite the millionaire, and I am the poorer for it. Dumb me. Amazon...give us the option for NO stars!

Summary: READ THIS BOOK IN FULL BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Review: I read this book in full before starting the diet. There is so much you need to know before you jump into a diet like this. YOU NEED VITAMIN SUPPLIMENTS TO STAY HEALTHY. This diet helps you find out what type you are then encourages you to first consult a physician to keep track of your blood sugars. It's what you don't know that can hurt you on this diet. I enjoyed this book. I found out a lot about myself and what causes me to gain weight and makes it hard to take off. This diet works. Read the entire book so you want fall short of your goal.

Summary: So Far So Good
Review: Two Weeks. 16 Lbs. Yummy Yummy Yummy. Not that its easy to avoid carbs. When you stop to think about it, they're everywhere. But it beats the hell out of eating celery drinking slimfast.

Summary: twice lucky
Review: Dr Atkins New Diet Revelution caught my eye because I had triedjust about every diet imaginable. I figured one last try couldn'thurt. I found the book to be very helpful in my understanding the fatburning process. I found the carb counter in the back as well as the recipe section especially helpful, as so many things I didnt think were packed with carbs actually were. The recipe section had some good ideas for meals. I did find a few recipes in need of cooking time adjustments, no big deal to me though. The way this diet worked promptedme to also purchase Dr Atkins New Diet Book whick has some great recipes. This diet worked for me last year when I lost 40 pounds in 6 months and it is working for me again, as I just recently had a baby and am in the process of losing the "baby fat". My husband was very skepticle in the beginning and in fact, did not do the diet with me last time. But after seeing the results and reading the book himself, he is now making this life change with me. Thanks Dr Atkins for keeping this book alive.

Summary: It works! It works!
Review: I read the entire book before I began the diet. I was so very skeptical because I have spent my life denying myself food. I am only 5' tall and every pound I gain is like 10 to someone else. I am in my first month and have already lost 5lbs. It used to take me four months to loose a few pounds. Dr. Atkins (bless him) explains (maybe a little too technical) how it works. He tells you what you can and cannot eat so there is no misunderstanding. Follow it to the letter and you too can loose. The first diet that I can live with and still feel satisfied as well as energetic and happy. And best of all DO I LOOK GOOOOOOOD!

Summary: WOW
Review: I started this diet on Monday January 24th and today is Friday January 28th. I was about 35 pounds overweight when I started and now: I have already lost 15 pounds! That is 15 pounds in only 5 days! Is this normal? The diet has been fairly easy and getting into Ketosis was a breeze. By Tuesday morning, my strip was as dark as it could be! I am just wondering if anyone else has had this same experience losing that much weight in so little time? Feel free to e-mail me with your response. Thank you Dr. Atkins!
