Summary: I would recommend this diet to anyone
Review: I started this diet 2 weeks ago and I have never had anything work so fast at reducing the size of my waist, thighs, and butt! I am so happy with this easy to follow, never get hungry diet. I plan to stick with it for a very long time. I have never felt better, or looked better.

Summary: Disreguard the stars and try it yourself.
Review: I was turned onto this diet by a friend that has had much success. My wife and I bought the book and have just started the diet. However, I wanted to investigate a little more about this diet and it's author. As you can see by scrolling down this page, I have come to the realization that you have to try it for yourself. There are so many conflicting opinions here I don't know what to believe. There defiantly seems to be more success stories here then failures but the failures seem rather extreme and frightning. I am encouraged by all the positive results that people have had and it is obvious that it DOES work for some people. I have to agree, however, with several of the negitive comments about Dr. Atkins writing style. Just tonight I mentioned to my wife that it sounds like the book is more directed at his critics by sighting a lot of scientific studies that I don't care about. I take every new study with a grain of salt because the scientists who do these studies can't even get their act straight. One day they say this is good for you and a couple of weeks later someone comes along and says it will kill you. In conclusion, if you think it will help you then try it out. If it works for you then good for you. If not, cut your losses and move on.

Summary: I read the book and it looks very encouraging
Review: I have not yet started the diet, but I plan to begin it soon. I am having some difficulties in understanding the induction diet. I am at a critical stage that I need to lose weight and no other diets work. I would appreciate it if someone can email me at Candi602@aol.com, to assist me in some matters of concerns I have. Good luck to all and hopefully soon I will be writing my weight reduction and able to help someone also. Keep up the good work all.

Summary: It is simply amazing!
Review: I had tried everything to lose weight. I had always been thin until about six years ago and I started putting on weight.. about 10 pounds a year until I was 50 pounds over my usual weight! I got so discouraged. I tried all kinds of diets from slim fast to low fat to vegetarinism. I would run 3 miles a day and still couldn't lose. I tried the Atkins diet and lost 20 pounds in two months and now I am getting the last 20 pounds off as we speak. The energy I have had is unreal. I feel better and I never feel depressed. The clothes are getting baggier. I got in a size 8 the other day. Everyone started really noticing and they all asked me for a copy of the diet. I put my daughter on it too. She is 11 and she has lost about 15 pounds already in just a month. I highly recommend this diet. It is the only one that has worked for me!

Summary: Great Diet - Feel better than ever when I'm on it.
Review: This is the best diet I have ever been on. I realize it's not for all people. My husband was on it for six months and never lost a pound. Doc says that's not possible and checked him for a yeast infection. As soon as that was cleared up his weight went right down. Ask the doomsayers 1. If the diet is so bad why do I feel so good when I'm on it and so bad when I'm off? Also ask , if the low fat, high carb diet is so good for us why aren't we the slimmist, healthiest country on the planet?

Summary: Big Fat Lies
Review: This diet is a dangerous piece of pseudoscience. People sometimes lose weight on this diet, but not for the reasons that the author claims. First of all, a high protein diet causes dehydration. Anyone losing more than a pound or two per week is almost certainly losing water weight. Peeing more won't make you thin, period. Second, although the author describes the diet as "luxurious" it is actually very restrictive. The only reason anyone loses weight is because she expends more calories than she takes in. There is nothing special about the diet itself, except that it tends to be rather unappetizing to most people. Consequently, they may eat fewer calories and thereby lose weight. A stated aim of the Atkins Diet is to induce ketosis, a metabolically toxic state. Weight-loss can cause ketosis, not the other way around! Artifically inducing ketosis by diet is not only ineffective, but dangerous.

Summary: LOVING LOSING!
Review: I bought this book about a week ago and I have lost 4 pounds. I have had Insulin-Dependent Diabetes for 18 years and my bloodsugar has never been better. My bloodsugar now ranges between 90-130, as opposed to 200-550. I also don't have low bloodsugar readings anymore from insulin reactions. I now take about 1/3 less insulin than I used to take. The protein in this diet really keeps my bloodsugar stable. I feel so good now--so much energy! I also had an eating disorder in which I basically starved myself for 2 years. I lived on Diet-Pepsi and fat free Pretzels to keep myself at a gangly-looking size one. Once I started eating again, everything I ate was stored as fat. I soon ballooned out to a size 12. I've struggled with the thought of "not eating" again many times. When a friend told me about this book, I read it and thought, "Wow, I think I can do that!" Eating a low-carb diet makes so much sense. Even if I didn't lose weight, the benefit of having "normal" bloodsugars and more energy is worth every gram of protein that I put in my mouth! The Atkin's diet is not really a "diet"--full of restrictions....its a way of life. Try it! What have you got to lose? Thanks Dr. Atkins!!
