Review: and 35 pounds lighter. I've had my bad days, just not giving up. I strongly recommend that anyone starting the diet, not only know your beginning weight, but also your body measurements. On weeks when the scales wouldn't budge, I'd still loose inches. A nurse once told me something that really helps. "Muscle weighs more than fat, but fat takes up more space than muscle". So, if you're loosing inches, you're still loosing fat.

I recommend this book to anyone who wants to change the way they think about food and dieting. It's not a diet, but a complete change in lifestyle.

Summary: Easy to Follow and Important to Remember Later
Review: I have been dieting all of my life and I found that Dr. Atkins' book was pretty easy to follow. I couldn't believe that I lost 10.5 pounds in 8 days. YES, over 10 pounds in a week and I only exercised twice. I'm in my second week now and pray that the pounds keep coming off. It's important to remember later, once you've completed the "induction", that you MUST cut down on the carbs -- ALL OF US eat too much of it. I recommend it for those of you who LOVE potatoes, fries, macaroni and cheese, and rice. I don't even want those foods anymore. I've lost the taste for them. Believe me. Give it a try for 14 days. Watcha got to lose???

Summary: Very Informative
Review: I read Dr. Atkins Diet Revolution and Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution. It was truly amazing that this is the only diet that I have ever been able to stay on and see quick results.However there are alot of food recommendations in both books that you are allowed to eat according to their information but when you try and purchase some of these items at grocery they all contain sugar??carbs? Example you can eat all of the bacon, ham,& cold cuts (hot dogs) but where can you find any of these grocery store items that do not contain sugar?? of some form. They all have sugar!!! I found one brand of salt pork at Wal Mart that had no sugar that is the only brand of breakfast meats that I could find that I could eat.I called the Atkins center to find out where can you purchase bacon,sausage, etc. without sugar?? all you get is a recorded voice mail saying that they will return your call.???? The book tells you that you may have worchestire sauce, olives, ??? but carbs are to be kept at almost 0 grams of carbs especially in the first week? Olives,and worchestire have carbs ??.I made many many calls and left numerous messages to their help#,I had come to a halt in my weight loss for 3 weeks and could not lose another lb.I worked very hard and needed their help but could not get a call back letter or anything out of them.I tried to get a metabolic doctors help and could not find one. I think the book is wonderful it is the first time I have ever been on a diet and not been hungry, but is very discouraging that they offer you a phone # to call for help but no one ever returns your calls.I think that brand names for food products should be listed in your book it would help. The only brand name they mention is Bakettes(Pork Rinds).Oscar Meyer ham but Oscar Meyer ham has sugar??My first shopping expereience took me about 2 hours, you do have to read every lable to make sure it has no sugars of any kind.Guess what? there is not many food substances out there that do not contain some kind of sugar.Especially packaged processed foods. In all I liked the book, it suggests that you take a multiple vitamin,but I could not find an over the counter multiple that didn't contain sugar?? Every one that I found was coated with some kind of vegetable glaze and contained carbs.If you go on this diet and screw up and consume just a little too much carb.or sugar about 72 hours later you will gain 1-2lbs back just like the book says then you have to start over to get back into Ketosis that is why I think more product information is necessary for all of us Atkins readers. Hope someone takes time to read this and pass it along to Atkins.I would like to get in touch with other people whom have been on this diet. Do you know who? where? is there online chat Dr. Atkins??? Thank you, Kim F

Summary: Good results but bad for you!
Review: Dr. Atkins new book may produce results but there are health risks involved consuming virtually no carbs everyday. If you don't believe ask your doctor or do some pesonal research.

Summary: If you go on this diet, you are an idiot
Review: This book has an amazing shelf-life, especially since the diet is harmful and ridiculous. First of all, you lose water weight (that explains all the "I lost 10 pounds in a week" testimonials). Secondly, eating all that protein and fat is really bad for you, ultimately sending half-digested fat particles into your bloodstream and making you feel nauseous (but not hungry! how ingenious, Dr. Atkins). Just eat less food and exercise. This diet is a huge load of nothing.

Summary: Started Out With A Bang!
Review: My first week on this diet I lost 8 pounds. I am 3 days into my second week and have only lost 1 additional pound so far. I hope my weight loss isn't slowing down this soon as I have stuck to the diet to a T. Lunch and dinner are easy, meat and salad. Breakfast is hard. I am getting tired of the eggs. I think I will purchase the Atkins Bars, which I have found at GNC health food stores, for a breakfast alternative. I will try to post every 15 pound loss. I hope others keep posting as it is very inspiring.

Summary: Absolutely Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Review: I was very skeptical when I started this diet. I have been on it for approx. 7 weeks now and have lost about 20 LBS. Imagine losing that much weight and not feeling hungry all the time. It is true that you feel better overall and I really don't miss all the foods that I used to eat. My wife also went on the diet and has lost alot of weight. I highly reccommend this diet to anyone. DON'T THINK OF IT AS A DIET, BUT AS A NEW WAY OF LIFE.

Summary: Before going off the diet, make sure you are doing it right!
Review: After reading the reviews I have noticed a that a lot of you complain of headaches and dizziness. Do a check list. Are you taking ALL the vitamins? Is your body going through withdraws? (this really depends on how heavy your carb addiction was). Are you following this step-by step?

When I first went on this diet I had headaches and dizziness for the first week. My husband ask the same questions that I just ask. My replay was no to every question. So, I started over and I was fine. I lost 13 pounds and in 5 months lost 68 pounds. If you find that your sweet tooth is getting the best of you, their are several books out there including Dr. Atkins cook book that has Crustless Cheesecake that is to die for. But remember, get through the first two weeks before adding too many sweets.
