- Could be better
First of all the diet works a treat, i was very pleased with the results and found it easy. But i'm not reviewing the diet i'm reviewing the book. The book is great if you want to know the in's and out's of the science behind the Atkins theory. I personally thought even though it made sense it dragged on. I just wanted to get to the part were i started to lose weight. Eventually i came to about three pages in the book with lists of foods that were allowed on the Atkins diet.
To be honest i could have probably googled the information and not bothered with the book but it is nice to hear it from the doctors mouth.

- It's like magic - but not for vegetarians
Be warned that if you are vegetarian, Dr Atkins says his diet would be too boring because you would have insufficient choice of protein foods. But if you're not, it's brilliant, and it really does reduce weight FAST with no hunger after the first few days. And despite what the scaremongers say, it *does* include green veg, and after the first fortnight it includes a wide range of veg and some fruit and is perfectly well balanced. Others have come along afterwards and you may find them presented in a way you like better: e.g. Nerys and India's Idiot Proof Diet is great and has a supportive forum pig2twig, which helps a lot. Or the Stone Age Diet. Atkins gives a lot of science information, and you may like that, or not. Many have read Atkins and worked out their own diet based on his theory: break your addiction to carbs and your insulin levels settle down and release you from hunger. And the weight drops off. And he also recommends you eat fresh food, not the processed stuff that is ruining the health of the western world. It's like magic, and you almost want to run about converting other fatties who are struggling with the establishment's insistence that we should all eat brown bread and potatoes to lose weight. But the research is starting to show that Atkins was right. And thousands of people will tell you it worked for them. He's The KING.
Rating: - I'm thin now !
Good to get the background behind the idea.
Stick to it and you will be thin like me.
PS Exercise helps a lot too.

- to the negative people....
I keep reading about negative stuff about the diet but do u not think to yourselves that for thousands of years man lived on meat and veg alone.They didn't have bread then and yet they survived.So are you saying that because we have all these luxuaries now, we have to eat them to be healthy? I think not!

- Dangerous diet
I used this book to diet 4 years ago. I enjoyed the food but not the results. Yes, I lost weight but it appears to have left me with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I had no such problems before spending 4 months on this diet. Just be aware, it may not agree with everyone
