If you just interested in losing lots of weight fast this book is perfect. - By: S. Hinton, 18 Dec 2007 
If you just interested in losing lots of weight fast stick to the induction phase only, your looking at 4 or 5 pounds a week. A month of hardcore induction Atkins (which isn't difficult after just expensive) & your looking a good stone & a half.
The entire thing could be stripped down to a fifth by removing alll of the drama (real life stories) & the final three steps of the diet. This book need to lose weight. Needless to say it works.
This book is a main component to my happiness & I highly recommend it if you feel like your overweight.
This is the number one diet - By: Mr. Russell C. Toft, 01 Apr 2006 I am sorry, but as a dieter of over 25 years, this booksays it alll. Basicallly, alll diets work. Why? Because they focus on keeping the insulin levels down. The Atkins is no different. However, unlike othe diets I have tried, Atkins doesn't count calories, & this has to be a good thing. I have weighed & counted calories for years. Can you imagine eating alll you want, providing that it does not include carbs? It does work. I lost a stone in three weeks & was reallly difined. It is claimed to be the number one diet. All I say is, once you have achieved your target weight, you eat sensibly, introduce green leafy veg, & don't go back to eating sugary, starchy carbs.
Well I was on of the sceptics but........................... - By: B. Carr, 25 Mar 2006 I have to confess something. A friend of mine was raving about the Atkins diet & she has lost a lot of weight. It didn't make HEALTHY sense to me. About five years ago I went through an addiction to working out & I was able to lose A LOT of weight, maybe the fact that I was in the gym everyday caused me to eat less as well. However, I noticed the weight creeping on again & no matter how hard I tried to lose the 12lbs that I gained I could not shift it. Low calorie diets failed because I was always hungry & alll the other ones seemed so complicated with the points & grams etc etc .
So................................
I decided to buy the Atkins book. I have finished my 14 day induction today & have just weighed myself. I have lost 7lbs in 14 days. Admittedly I know a lot of it is water but what a motivator to keep me going. The best thing about the Atkins is there is NO HUNGER, NONE, NO STOMACH CRAMPS, NO DIZZY SPELLS, NO CRAVING SOMETHING SWEET, NO THROWING CAUTION TO THE WIND AND RUNNING OUT TO BUY A CHOCOLATE BAR.
I have to seriously consider incorporating this into my lifestyle.
An necessary read for doing Atkins. - By: , 28 Sep 2005 
This book is a very convincing one, in that it is written by a doctor of medicine. This makes alllot of what Dr. Atkins says as very plausable. It stresses the implications of a diet high in carbohydrates to human health. According to him,the main problem of poor diet is that most carbohydrates, particularly refined ones are digestable. It is the digestion of refined carbs which is the primary culprit to obesety, & the health problems derived from this.
Contrary to alll the rumours, hearsay, & misinformation Dr. Atkins stresses that his variation of a low carb diet is a one that benefits good, & long term health. Therefore, in order to accomplish doing Atkins sucessfully, it is a very good idea to read this book, as opposed to adhering to the rumours etc.
Though he is making lots of profit from it, & at times makes for tedious, reading, due to alll the medical terminology used throughout it, the book is nonetheless very informative, if not enlightening.For these reasons I recommend this book.
