Atkins for Life Low-Carb Cookbook: More than 250 Recipes for Every Occasion
It’s too terrible and unfortunate that Dr. Atkins has passed. With his widow compiling and publishing this cookbook, it keeps his memory and his beneficial lifestyle alive. The book is informative, simple to read and simple to navigate.

I was flabbergasted in looking through these recipes. Has Veronica Atkins gone crazy or become “carb-liberated” since her husband died? These recipes are a disaster for the low-carb dieter or for diabetics. There is even one recipe that calls for a teaspoon of sugar! How disappointing. I took mine right back to the store.
After all the work and sacrifice of Dr. Atkins and all the excellent he has done for seriously ill people, it is criminal to place the Atkins name on a book like this. It is dishonest and misleading. Veronica Atkins, you should be ashamed of yourself, to compromise like this!

You don’t have to be following Atkins to get some brilliant information and recipes for low carb dieting. As a diabetic, I have to watch my carbs for blood sugar reasons. This particular cookbook had a decent amount of recipes… simple recipes, nutritious recipes, affordable recipes. It just irks me when I get cookbooks where maybe I would make 2-3 recipes based on the time, cost or ingredients but this one is different. I’ve loved making and eating such recipes as Pasta Carbonara with 5.5 grams net carbs (high stout content though at 38.5 g); the Spinach & Bacon soup with only 2 grams of carbs and 146 calories was excellent; and thumbs up to the Mexican Chicken Wraps with a 7 minute prep time made excellent use of chicken leftovers. All in all, I recommend this cookbook!
