Excellent info, inspiring tales, tasty recipes
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Too many people reckon Atkins is “all the meat, eggs, butter & cheese you can eat” — NOT TRUE and this book clearly shows that! The book basically has three parts:
1) A Lifetime Plot – clarifies the concepts, inspiring success tales with before/after photos, and lots of quizzes and information like recommendations for what to eat regularly, moderately and sparingly, suggestions for making exercise a regular part of your life, and facing challenges.
2) Eating for Life – information on getting your kitchen in order and meal plans for different Net Carb levels (45, 60, 80, 100), carb counting charts, and 125 recipes.
I will say that the book has some ingredients listed that are no longer available–but with a search of some low carb websites I easily found healthier substitutes for those items. I consider this an essential book for anyone following an Atkins lifestyle.

Praise for the Atkins Book….
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I am living proof the Atkins plot works… This book, the revised ATkins Plot, and the Diabetes Revolution are all excellent books to read… With all diet plans and eating modification… use your common sense, consult a physician and use in moderation… What works for you… is all that matters!….
Atkins – Your way to a Low-Carb Diet
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
After all the controversy about “Low-Carb” diets it’s excellent to get the tale straight from the man who started it. This book lays out the ground rules and provides a excellent overview of the science behind the hype one reads on the Internet and hears from the media.
I found that just a few minutes with Dr. Atkins’ book answered a lot of my questions about how carbohydrates affect your diet and overall health. It also set me straight on a number of misconceptions I had formed out of ignorance or from the half-truths spouted by diet “experts”.
If you’re thinking about a low-carb diet like Southbeach, you owe it to yourself to get Atkins’ perspective on nutrition and food-related health issues.
Bottom line…there’s a lot information in this book. It has a reasonable number of excellent meal plans and fantastic recipes. Only shortfall I found was the lack of cross-referencing so finding all the parts to a meal takes a bit of effort.
