Summary: Found out About Food Allergies!
Review: While I am not overwieght, my parents have struggled with an extra 20 lbs for over a decade. When my father brought Dr. Atkins book home, all of us were skeptical. However, because the diet requires a low intake of milk, he soon discovered that milk was the root of his indigestion problems because he was allergic.

Summary: Very much worth a read.
Review: I highly enjoyed reading this "diet" book. I have been overweight for most of my life. This has been the easiest, healthiest diet I have ever been on. Coworkers are skeptical, but after being on the diet for most of a year, they have seen a difference in my appearence and attitude. Other coworkers are asking about the diet, after seeing how easy it has been to stay on, and keep the weight off. I must caution those going on the diet to take ALL the vitamins reccomended in the book! To lower carbohydrates and not suppliment with the necessary vitamins, is not a good idea! I have lost 50lbs, and have been able to keep it off! YEAH! I have started a weight-lifting program along with the diet and feel wonderful! I still have 50lbs to go, and am certain that I will meet my goal in the near future. Thank you Dr. Adkins!

Summary: This is not just a diet, it is a way of life. It makes sense
Review: I work part-time at a Health/Vitamin Store, and have seen the results of people who felt hopeless where weight loss was concerned. By applying the theory behind Dr. Atkins book, I have seen the glowing healthy faces of people who have retaken their health back. They state how much energy they have now and can do so much more than before! For what I have seen, heard and read, his theory makes sense and works.

Summary: How does this work with PCOS?
Review: I have recently discovered that I probably have PCOS (poly cystic ovarian syndrom) and that it is partially due to high insulin levels. Has anyone with this disease tried the Atkins diet? I am concerned about giving up fruits and veggies since I have also read Fit For Life and believe they are the life force that we need for health.

Summary: It's working so far!
Review: I've had the Atkins diet book for a couple of months and just got around to reading it, wish I would of started two months ago. I've been on the diet for six day's and have lost 10 pounds. As with many diets at least the many I've been on, I did have the headache the sore back the ill feeling etc. etc. however if your a veteran dieter like I am you know this is common when you start a diet. However after the second day I felt fine and have much more energy and I'M NOT HUNGRY! I am a absoulute bread freak but with seeing the pounds drop I'll go without, I still have cheese. I'm sure this diet isn't for everyone but it's working for me.

Summary: Good starter ..but NOT FOR PERMANENT!!
Review: I found Dr. Atkins book to be fascinating in explaining how insulin effects the system. His discussions on sugar and carbs and heart disease are scientifically accurate and made me understand what I'd been doing wrong.I went on the diet for 2 weeks and lost 12 lbs immediately. Then I stayed on it for 5 more weeks..AND LOST NOTHING MORE..plus I felt horrible and really missed my vegetables. I was also very frustrated, because there was no one at the Atkins center who would talk to me about what may be going on. I found a different diet which adheres to the same concepts of getting off the sugar and wheat, but by combining food in appropriate ways, I'm able to have lots of fruits and veggies....(by the way, I've discovered in the course of the Atkins diet that I'm allergic to wheat..of all things!) I've lost 10 more lbs on the new less restrictive..and I think HEALTHIER diet...

Summary: easy to understand and follow/at last a diet book that makes
Review: I have heard about this diet for a long time but until I sat down and read the book with the same interest that I give to a novel,I never knew what I was doing wrong. I saw my profile in several of his examples. And was amazed to see that someone actually understood my problem. I have tried so many different "diets" and "weight reduction" programs and while I sometimes was able to lose a lot of weight I was never up to get to "goal" nor was I able to keep this weight off. Also I was very depressed while dieting and still "craving". With this plan I amo losing weight and feel wonderful. Also my last check up was the first one I have had in many years where all my levels were normal or better. My husband is also on the diet and in just under two months he has gone from a 48 waist to a 44 and since he was a compulsive eater I did not think it was possible for him to be happy on a diet. Ha..he is the one who cooks all our meals, shops and makes sure I stay right. All I can say is bless you Dr. Adkins...keep developing all those great products and books. I am certain I will reach my goal and stay there because this is not a diet it is a new way of life for us. Thank you

Summary: I almost passed out
Review: I thought the concept was good, but this diet is in no means for anyone trying to lose a couple of pounds. When I went on this diet I wanted to lose 30 lbs. I was not overweight, and while on the diet I almost passed out and I was unable to concentrate. The diet did more harm to me then it did good. This maybe a good diet for the truly obese people but not for anyone wanting to loss a couple of lbs.
