Rating:1 out of 5 stars
This turned out to be a paperback version of the original 1992 edition, nothing ‘revised’ about it. It’s in the pile for the yard sale. I’d borrowed a much more recent version, the one pictured, from the library and wanted my own copy. Worth a penny, yes. Too terrible about the $3.99 shipping.
Read the book for yourself!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
So many people make the Atkins diet to be what it is not. Your carbs are not taken away permanently. They are returned to your diet in a controlled way. In fact, you are NEVER without carbs all together EVER during this diet. Read this book for yourself. You will learn a fantastic deal about your body and nutrition.
Found it a bit dull and lacking many facts

when making their own points.
Carb arguments are smart and well-place but they seem to stray away from many arguments against it
Someone exercising several times a week and staying around a basic diet is the better way to go.
Classic Book – Innovation on Dieting
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The Atkins Diet Books are the classics that changed the way people look at dieting. It is the Homer of the dieting books.
Atkins is still the best diet when trying to loose weight, even compared to the South Beach Diet ( which is also a excellent diet focused around heart care ) people will loose more weight in the small and long term than using any other diet.
In addition this diet lowers cholesterol and high blood pressure.

Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This book was an absolute crucial key to my finding a way to eat I could live with and not die from. I tried a lot of diets and they all starve me to death until this one. I never could be as strict about it as recommended but with my own modified version of this I was able to lose fifty pounds and keep it off for five years now! I even wrote my own book of how I did it! It’s less expensive and a small read so you’ll be on your way to losing weight even quicker. The Number One Secret To Permanent Weight Loss: The Last Book on Dieting and Weight Loss You Will Ever Need.

Not sure about the book contents. That is all down to opinion. Did not try this slimming method after looking at the book.
Delivery was on time, thanks.

I like the diet. The book arrived in very excellent condition, though it seemed to take a long time. I guess that could be attributed to the postal service.

Not Really the Atkins Diet. It’s a diet made to sell shakes and bars for a corporation.
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
This diet was re-developed after Dr. Atkins died. It very well might work for some people, but it’s a crazy diet. How much of your diet is protein, stout, how many “net” carbs are you eating, how much of that is coming from vegetables? Do you spin around three times in the presence of a full moon? It’s terribly convoluted. You might as well be counting calories and stout intake.
Dr. Aktins didn’t even wish to develop any of those bars or shakes and they are to be used occasionally. This diet stalls weight loss. In addition, if you have ever logged on to the official Atkins forum you will find self righteous, odd people that are anything BUT helpful.
I would suggest this site: [...]
I would also suggest purchasing the Atkins book pre-2002. It can be found on Amazon. If you are serious about loosing weight on a healthy low carb diet, I would also suggest you visit [...].
As for me, I wrote a review about the 1972 version of the Atkins diet.
In 1998 I lost over 60 pounds on the Atkins diet and three of my friends lost anywhere between 60-120 pounds on the Atkins. All of my friends have kept of the weight since then. I didn’t. I gained when I was expecting my son. After the birth of my son, I lost the weight again, in 2005. It dropped off immediately as soon as I could stomach more protein in my diet.
I regained about 25-30 pounds in the last six months of 2008. In less than 8 weeks I lost 25 pounds. I have only five pounds more to get rid of. I tried to get rid of this weight in the last few months of 2008 and realized that I was on the Dr. Atkins NEW Diet Revolution. I struggled for two month and gave up until one of my friends returned the Original Atkins to me. I had no thought that I was doing a completely different diet.
Allow me to dispel some myths about the original Atkins…
1. I cut out NO food groups, unless you consider processed food, potatoes, white rice, white flour and sugar a food group.
2. I eat more vegetables and fruit than meat.
3. Cooking this way is gourmet. It is time consuming, but it is really excellent food.
4. I can eat at quick food restaurants, but I eat side salads and sandwiches without buns.
5. I make pies, cakes, muffins, and pancakes. I just use whey powder, sesame seed mill, almond flower and flax seed mill.
6. You can maintain the weight loss. You just have to make a different lifestyle.
7. There is nothing unhealthy about this lifestyle. The Induction period is hard and if you stay on it for long periods of time, well, maybe it could be damaging. But as I said, I cut out NO food group.
The Original Atkins diet is work. It’s so worth it though.
If you have had problems loosing weight on calorie counting, I promise, if you follow the original diet you will get rid of it! You have to be committed. It is a lifestyle the requires you never to allow processed food to pass your lips. Hey, I’m back into a size 4. I’ve been there 10 out of 12 years thanks to Dr. Atkins original diet. Here’s my stats after a visit to my G.P.:After a trip to my G.P today (March 23, 2009) my Total Cholesterol Levels are 142, Triglycerides are 98 and my HDL cholesterol are at 76. Measured BMI is 22%! Tell me that this is the most unhealthy diet in the world. I’m in better shape than most 25 year olds.

Well I have to admit this. Is I am very sick with hypoglycemia. I don’t have diabetes. So I have a very high intolerance to sugar. And at times I don’t have alot of strength.Any kind of sugar, juice, fruit, etc…
But I was impressed by this book. To me it so much better than the diabetic diet I was on. Now I stay away from all forms of sugar. But Dr. Atkins gave me some excellent advice about sugar that I never new. But I have been reading the book for a month. I did lose six pounds. For me thats incredible. And I don’t have the blood sugar swings of high and dropping to low. I can’t follow the his diet plot perfect but at times I see a improvement of more strength. To me that is wonderful improvement. For how sick I have been. Like staying in bed because I am to weak. I like the low carbs because it does keep my blood sugar balance. And helps me not to get diabetes.
I know it is expensive to by chicken now a days. And vegetables. But so far I do feel excellent. Thats a plus. Years ago, I would just laugh at the Atkins Diet. But now I got desperate and needed help. I like it!
Surprisingly enjoyable, super informative!
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Dr. Atkins’s last book on his revolutionary diet is surprisingly readable, while still fully explaining its details. He employs positive, instead of punitive, encouragement in a supportive way. My copy is a hardcover; because this book, once read, is largely used as a reference, I recommend a softcover copy because it’s lighter to carry with you.
Atkins Nearly Killed Me
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
If I could rate this zero stars, I seriously would. I bought the revised edition of this book and read it from cover to back, being careful to absorb the knowledge as accurately as I could. I started the induction phase which requires you to drink plenty of water and consume no more than 20 carbs a day. Two weeks after induction I slowly added 5 extra carbs as outlined in the book during the second phase. I did not eat junk food or anything sweetened with aspartame. I was careful to eat healthy proteins and fats like skinless chicken, eggs, unprocessed cheese, olive oil, and fish. With this I would eat low-carb salads and veggies that are Atkins legal to the diet. This means no corn, peas, or starchy vegetables. I even took the vitamin supplements Dr. Atkins stated were essential to doing Atkins “safely”.
All was going well until the second month when I started to have an erratic heart-beat and severely low blood-pressure. At one point my heart was beating 140 beats per minute, which was insane and I was feeling so dizzy I nearly lost consciousness. I had to be rushed to emergency twice in the following weeks after fainting spells and severely low blood pressure. I had to have an EKG and an X-ray done. The EKG indicated that I was having severe heart palpitations, but everything else was normal. The X-Ray indicated that my heart had enlarged and blood tests showed that I had an extremely high white blood cell count. The doctor told me to immediately stop Atkins. What happened to me may not happen to everyone, but from my own terrifying experience, this diet is in no way safe. I should have followed my gut instinct from the beginning. No diet that makes money off of selling books, merchandise, and their own line of food products has your best intentions in mind. Healthy eating, low calorie intake, and plenty of exercise is not only healthier, but safer. It just isn’t what people want to hear.
not reccomended

too many concerns about people developing liver problems on this diet.
thou the diet works, you have to stay on it, forever, or gain the weight back, and at what long term cost to your health?
