Description
A New York Times Bestselling Author

Based on the revolutionary ideas this have helped millions lose weight safely and permanently, Atkins Diabetes Revolution presents a comprehensive food, exercise, and nutrient supplement program intended to help people at risk for diabetes and those together with impaired blood sugar control.

Available only in Distribution Deluxe.
Two colleagues of the late Dr. Robert Atkins get on the obesity epidemic's deadly twin: type 2 diabetes. Dr. Mary Vernon and Jacqueline Eberstein, RN, adapt the carb-cutting, fat-allowing Atkins nutritional approach as a preemptive strike against this quick-growing killer. Diabetes--defined here as a condition in which glucose or blood sugar is above the normal range--is viewed as a preventable problem. "What we hope we have created in this book is a realistic and practical guide to wiping out type 2, one person at a time." Since obesity is the key risk factor for diabetes, they initiate together with the "fat lie" (i.e., the belief this fat causes obesity) to voice the Atkins mantra: low fat means high carbs and high carbs are broken down into sugar. Together with a convincing mix of essay/image testimonials, clinical studies, quizzes, checklists, and menu planners and recipes, Vernon and Eberstein do the case for diet and way of life changes to alter the metabolism of those at risk for diabetes. They have done a yeoman's job of translating Atkins's medical nutrition advice into a step-by-step program. One can quibble concerning their missionary zeal or the omnipresent eggs in the breakfast sample menus. At times, the scientific data are overly detailed or concealed inside a quiz. Thankfully, there is a spot-on summary of the book's paradigm-busting ideas in the appendix. -- Barbara Mackoff

Customer rating is 4 of 5  An Improvement Over Traditional Low-Fat, High-Carb Diabetic Diet   2009-11-24
By Steven Parker (Arizona USA)
I must give credit to Dr. Robert C. Atkins for popularizing an approach - carbohydrate restriction - that helps people with diabetes control their disease, and likely helps prevent type 2 diabetes in others. Vernon and Eberstein do a great job explaining his program.

I can best summarize this book by noting that it is the standard Atkins diet with a few modifications: 1) special supplements 2) you add additional carbs to your diet more slowly 3) the warning that diabetics may well end up with a lower acceptable lifetime carbohydrate intake level.

By way of review, the Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution $5.99 is a very low-carb diet, particularly in the two-week induction phase. "Very low-carb" means lots of meat, chicken, fish, eggs, limited cheese, and 2-3 cups daily of salad greens and low-carb veggies like onions, tomatoes, broccoli, and snow peas. After induction phase, you slowly add back carbs on a weekly basis until weight loss stalls, then you cut back on carbs.

As an adult medicine specialist, I have no expertise in pediatrics. I didn't read the two chapters related to children.

The authors present "complimentary medicine"in a favorable light. Unsuspecting readers need to know that much of complementary medicine is based on hearsay and anecdote, not science-based evidence. In that same vein, the two chapters on supplements for diabetes and heart disease recommend a cocktail of supplements that I'm not convinced are needed. I don't know a single endocrinologist or cardiologist prescribing these concoctions. Then again, I could be wrong.

Vernon and Eberstein provide two excellent chapters on exercise.

A month of meal plans and recipes are provided for 20, 40, and 60-gram carbohydrate levels. [The average American is eating 250-300 g of carbs daily.] The recipes look quick and easy, but I didn't prepare or taste any of them.

The 5-hour glucose and insulin tolerance test (GTT, paged 61) that Dr. Atkins reportedly ran on all patients who came to him is rarely done in other medical clinics. This doesn't mean it's wrong, but certainly out of the mainstream. The authors admit that at least a few people will have to count calories - specifically, limit total calories - if the basic program doesn't control diabetes, prediabetes, and the metabolic syndrome. Limiting portion size will speed weight loss, they write.

What we don't know with certainty is, will long-term Atkins aficionados miss out on the health benefits of higher consumption of fruits, vegetables, legumes, and whole grains? Much of the scientific literature suggests, "Yes."

What if we compare the long-term outlooks of a diabetic Atkins follower with a poorly controlled diabetic who's 80 pounds overweight and eating a standard American diet? The Atkins follower is quite likely to be healthier and live longer.

Customer rating is 2 of 5  It's so not totally Atkins   2009-11-01
By A. Crafton
I'd recommend Atkins' other books but found this one tedious. Too many cooks in the kitchen have ruined the dish. (It was not entirely written by Dr. Atkins) Sadly I found no recipes in it that were worth making again. This is not a good representation of what low carb eating is, IMO, compared to Dr. Atkins' other books. This may turn someone off.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  Must have book for anyone.   2009-10-28
By M. Wright
This book is so full of information. I am so glad I purchased it. Anyone with Type II Diabetes definatley needs to read this book. I have followed the plan and infact have brought my blood surgar levels down to amazing numbers in one month. Even though my diabetes educator does not agree with my choice of not eating "refined" carbs. She did admit I have done wonderful things with my blood surgar values. I thank the book Atkins Diabetes Revolution!!
Customer rating is 5 of 5  Good information for Diabetics   2009-09-28
By Betty J. Mitchell (Springfield,OHio)
This book was specifically designed for readers who want to lose weight despite some of the difficulties of being diabetic. It is easy to read, easy to follow and helps predict pitfalls and potential problems then it gives solutions for those pitfalls and problems. I find it to be very useful. The Atkins diet was recommended by one of my physicians. This adaptation for Type II Diabetics is particularly helpful for me.
