Summary: My Work Partner Lost 12 Pounds and She Looks Great!
Review: My Co Worker lost 12 pounds in a 1 week and a 1/2 so far and she loves the diet. She has tried other diets before, such as having a power shake. She would loose 5 pounds and that was it. She was able to break past the 5 pounds, I was very impressed with it. She has told me she is never hungry on the diet and has a lot more energy. I just started the diet today and am hoping to lose at least 10 pounds, then Ill skinny for the first time since highscool(I'm now 25) I like meat and cheese so I have no problem with this diet and I am not a big fan of fruits and vegetables anyway, this is a perfect diet for me! Im glad I heard about from my co-worker and I'll write another entry about myself hopefully soon!

Summary: It Works for me.
Review: I was turned on to this book by a co-worked who had tried it a while back. I thought after listening to him tell me what I could eat, that he was full of bull. But being overweight for the last 10 years, and trying every diet there was, I was ready to give it a try. To my supprise I have lost 30 pounds in 4 months. My doctor is amazed. I am also a diabetic, on oral medication, and my blood sugar is controllable now. Before it was all over the place no matter what I did to control it. So in closing It may sound like a snake oil salesman's pitch, but I have tried it and I am going to stick with it until I loose the rest of the 100lbs. By the way I have a bum knee and can't do a lot of exercising, so this eating plan is the best.

Summary: 11 DAYS AND COUNTING
Review: I have lost 6 lbs and my husband 8lbs in those 11 days. We lost that weight in the first 5 or 6 days and have not lost any weight since. In fact, gained 1-2 lbs back. We re-evaluated what we've been taking in throughout the day and have come to the conclusion that it was possibly the Equal and caffeinated coffee we were drinking that was holding us back although the ketostix state he is in small ketosis and I am in moderate. Has anyone found out this to be true about Equal? Would love anyone's comments about that. Hope to lose at least 30 lbs if possible and my husband 50lbs. but need encouragement to continue.

Summary: question
Review: i did try it myself last year (august) and it did work. however, after the holidays such as thanksgiving, x'mas, new year, and all these happy holidays, unfortunately..... i think it is so hard to go back to the 2nd time because of these social evnts. many foods are hard to elimiate especially dine out. i would give this diet a 5 stars after trying so many diets, this was the most effective one. however, due to the frustration on choosing foods which is kinda unclear, i have to give it a 3 stars. but overall, i do believe it is very effective. is possible to have a list of foods is not allowed under this diet. been an asian, there are a lot of foods that i don't know if it is okay to consume or not. so, if possible, please advise. such as sushi (raw fish), seaweeds, and etc..... thanks a lot.

Summary: For me, there is no other way to eat than the ATKINS way.
Review: I have been on the Atkins program for the last 2+ years and it has changed my life! I lost 25 pounds. The miracle is, it has stayed off. His book was so enlighting to the malady of carbohydrates. Since being on this program I have learned what my body can and cannot handle. I still may have a carbohydrate binge day but, as Atkins says, I start over the next day. It works it really does. When I am eating according to program I feel so much better, sleep better and have more energy. I just found the web sight for Atkins products, what a treat this is going to be. Thank you Dr. Atkins! I love you and my new life.

Summary: IT WORKS
Review: I went on this diet over 20 years ago and lost about 16lbs in a month. I did it again last summer and went from 195 to 160 in 3 months. Prior to the diet I had bad heartburn every night and had to take Zantac. My cholesterol was 206 and tryglicerides 268. My doctor said it would kill me. My heartburn was gone after 5 days. My cholesterol went to 162! and Tryglicerides 106! My doctor then said "I guess we don't fully understand some things".I stopped losing after 35 lbs even though I wanted to drop another 17lbs. That seems to be the pattern of many. I do think after the easy lbs go CALORIES DO MATTER despite what Atkins says. Off the diet I have gained 7 lbs so I went back on 4 days ago and have dropped 5 of them. I would encourage others to give this a try. Even though it does get a little boring after a while. Critics say it works because you eat less calories that may be true but unlike other diets you don't get the cravings so it is easier to stick to.

Summary: Easy to follow diet, but where does wine fit in?
Review: Does anyone know if drinking two glasses of wine a day during the induction phase will totally hinder the process? There are only 2.5 grams of carb. in a glass of white wine...

Summary: Excellent knowledge to impart
Review: I was never aware of this low carb/high protein concept until I read this book. Howevr I'm a liitle afraid on getting on this diet due to 2 concerns of my mine. First I'm trying to get pregnant. What if I lose all the 40 lbs I'm trying to lose. Then I do get pregnant. And we are not allowed to restrict or go on a diet during pregnancy. I'm concerned of gaining all or maybe more lbs of all that I lose. The other worry is I do not eat meat on certain days of the week. The diet suggests mainly meat and eggs. What can I eat on those days, especially vegetarian and at same time fill full. i'm little concerned about giving up all my favorite foods like rice, potatoes, fruits, etc.. Does that mean we need to sacrifice this for life and NEVER eat these foods again. Can someone please write to me and motivate me.
