Average Rating: Rating: - Not a healthy way to go I read this book because my "significant other" decided he wanted to try it. People are always looking for the easy way out. People want to eat what they want, not exercise but still be slim. Well, Atkins can only work for so long. Stop to think about it for a minute, eating all the meat you want.. that is not healthy. Sure you'll lose weight on Atkins but what are you giving up in exchange for a few pounds? The consumption of animal products has been conclusively linked with heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and osteoporosis. Cholesterol (found only in animal products) and animal fat clog arteries, leading to heart attacks and strokes. The rate of colon cancer is highest in regions where meat consumption is high and lowest where meat-eating is uncommon. A similar pattern is evident for breast, cervical, uterine, ovarian, prostate, and lung cancers. Rating: - Atkins rules! The only way to lose fat First of all, let me say that I am very glad that what Dr. Atkins has been promoting for over 30 years has finally been accepted as both safe and effective.Prior to Atkins, I tried the high fiber, high carb programs and felt stringy, lost weight but stayed fat.I became a "warrior" and went to the gym, did the best I could considdering how out of shape I was, lost a few pounds, toned up a little but the results were far too slow so I quit.I tried one of the over the counter diet shakes. Nothing. Tried the "fat burners" had a huge increase in energy but was up half the nite and had the jitters.As a last resort I tried Atkins. Several days---nothing. I continued for 7 days. Still nothing in weight loss based on my bathroom scale, but did notice my pants were looser and I loved eating eggs, steaks, chops and cheese again. Finally around the start of the third week, I started to lose. First 5 lbs. Then 8 lbs. Then 10 lbs. I noticed in the mirror that I looked tighter and my pants were a lot looser now. I didn't measure but figure I lost any easy 1 1/2 to 2 waistline inches.I was starting to get tired of eggs every morning so started to take a shake in place of breakfast. Noticed it tasted good and mixed with water.I also added the Vit/Min, Oil and weight-loss accelerator products. By this time, I had noticed that my skin was tighter and smoother. I had high energy. No mid morning let down and no hunger pangs.Dieting was no longer a drudgery. I have since started going to the gym again. One of the guys at the gym said, "Wow Louie you look great must be working out like crazy huh." I told him that I was just starting back but was on the Atkins Diet. Two other gm members are now on Atkins.As another reviewer commented, most diets don't work. Any weight loss is usually lean tissue (muscle) and water and very little fat. Most diets lead to deprivation. Most people who are on diets are easily identifiable: they look haggard, tired, are always hungry and also irritable. My weight loss came slow, I believe because I messed my metabolism up with other diets and plans. The thermogenic plans especially speed up your metabolism and when you stop...look out.I loved the Atkins diet. It is such a pleasure to be losing Fat, not just weight and putting good things into my body. Oh, my complexion which had been a problem for a long time has cleared up.A friend tried to steer me away from Atkins and started on this high Ketosis thing. ... I told him to read the book and asd him if he saw the NY Times article and told him to try it. This guy has always been thin but now (in his 50's) has to run 3-4 miles every day, is in good shape for a 50 year old, but how many have the desire or abiity to run 3-4 miles every day? I know I don't.I recommend the Atkins diet wholeheartily and believe it is the perfect answer to looking better and living longer. Rating: - Atkins bashers eat crow.... I have to admit, that I had my reservations about this program. Based on accepted scientific dogma, the Atkins Diet seemed very dangerous.Then I bumped into a friend that I hadn't seen in awhile. He had lost around 60 lbs and looked fantastic. Then his wife came out and she had lost 45 lbs. I asked what they were doing and they said "Atkins."What impressed me is that these eople didn't look like normal dieters. They looked wonderful. So radiant. So much energy. Their skin had a glow to it. I told them that I had heard some bad things about Atkins and they showed me the NY Times article about carbs. Between the article and their new slim appearance I was sold and started the next day.My first observation was that I wasn't hungery and I felt great. I enjoyed a big increase in energy. That never happened before on any diet.I lost 5 lbs. in the first three days and noticed inch loss in all major fat accumulation areas. Handlebars started to dissappear. Stomach got tighter. Chest firmed up.My nails, hair and skin all showed marked improvements. Like my friends, I started to get a healthly glow on my skin. Previously, I had been on a "balanced diet" and had tried and the "diet and exercise" system with little or no results.Around my 30's, I started a higher fiber/complex carb program with pasta, grains, fruits, legumes and interstingly, that is when I started to gain weight. Now I believe that it's carbohydrates that make you fat.I'm consuming more calories with Atkins, feel better, have more energy than with the "balanced or complex carb program."I'm in sales and on the road a lot. It's nice to be able to eat those luscious hi protein foods like lobster, shrimp, prime rib, pork chops for lunch or dinner and scrambled eggs or a nice cheese omlet for breakfast. I also enjoy the Atkins bars.I was a former Atkins basher and foolishly believed the medical community that warned that this program is dangerous. I think that being overweight is dangerous as is the food programs recommended by dieticians and doctors. But I was willing to be changed.I think that the NY Times article may finally proove to many that Atkins was right all the time. What I think is funny are people who think this program is dangerous but puff away on a cigerette, munch on a high sugar sticky bun or put down a double order of fries. Atkins has given me a new perception of dieting and nutrition. I'm a lifer on this program. and am sold, sold, sold.
