Shipping cost too high. Used the book once. Won't buy this type of item again and pay such high shipping.
Customer rating is 5 of 5  Lost 4 lbs in 1 week...this REALLY works.   2009-08-09
By Miss L C (Washington, DC)
This is not a fad diet, to me, this is a whole new eating lifestyle!
I must admit that I was a bit reluctant to try this "low carb, high fat" diet, but I've tried EVERYTHING and nothing seemed to work!
I used to workout 5x a week last year and was on a low calorie diet, and I lost only 4 lbs in 2 months.
Disappointed and discouraged with my results, I just stopped going to the gym.
Low calorie diets DON'T work for me - I used to stock up on lean cuisine meals whenever they would go on sale, because I thought it was convenient and easy to count calories that way.
However, I am hungry an hour later after eating a lean cuisine meal.
So I just recently took a step back and analyzed my eating habits - lots of "low calorie" foods but high in carb.
I ate lots of oatmeal, wheat bread, sugary granola bars that I thought were healthy, those "100 calorie" snacks etc - I was ALWAYS hungry.
That's when I realized that I wouldn't be able to lose any weight this way, and that I had to reanalyze my eating habits.
That's when I started researching about low carb diets and found Dr. Atkin's book. It made a lot of sense to me....as I read it at the bookstore, the words "ah ha!" kept repeating in my head.
I quickly purchased the book (earlier this week) and I've already lost 4 lbs. Sure, it's probably water weight, but I FEEL great. I see and feel myself getting thinner, I'm NEVER hungry and I don't crave sweets at all.
I'm not following the induction phase thoroughly, but I'm maintaining a low carb intake.
If I want veggies, I'll eat it. Fruits? I'll have an apple and munch on grilled chicken to keep my insulin levels in check. Bread? I'll have a slice of low carb 5g wheat bread with cheese.
I just got back from a party and needless to say, they had a wide array of delicious sweets & tempting food - but I wasn't craving any of it...and this is coming from a girl that loves to bake cupcakes, pastries and desserts!
I now snack on sugar-free jello gelatin when I'm in the mood for something sweet.
I had 1/2 of a cupcake and ate grilled chicken kabob right after. The point is, keep it balanced...moderation is key, you CAN have a low carb lifestyle. It doesn't mean you can never have a cupcake/donut again, just listen to your body and don't abuse it. If I want a donut, I'll eat 1/3 of one with an egg white omelette.
I never eat carbs alone, I always pair it with some sort of protein...it's working for me so far :)
I have a wedding to attend in 3 weeks, so I'll definitely stick with this low carb phenomenon. Thank you Dr. Atkins for showing me the way....I've been getting compliments from family members & friends and it hasn't even been a week!
Give it a shot! It's totally worth it :)
Customer rating is 5 of 5  An oldie, but a goodie. The original lifestyle is still the very best.    2008-07-25
By MJK (Great white north)
In 1998, I lost over 50 pounds on the original Atkins Lifestyle diet, the book I am reviewing now. In 2004, after the birth of my child, I needed to lose the 20 pounds that I gained whilst expecting. I went back on the original diet and lost in in about 4 months or less.

The original tried and true Dr. Atkins Diet Revolution allowed me to lose about four pounds to kick the diet off in the first week, gave me a ton of energy, and gradually allowed me to lose the rest of the weight after the introduction without problems or cravings.

I have lived on this diet for nearly 10 years and have never gained back the weight that I had lost (except for expecting a child). It's been easier to maintain weight loss with this lifestyle/diet than any other diet I have been on.

Some people have a very difficult time following the diet. If one is a vegan, this diet will really never work, if one is addicted to processed wheat flour and sugar...there's hope. In about a week one loses that addiction.

This diet/lifestyle has been given a bad name by various groups, physicians and people. I believe that those whom disagree with this diet only focus on the "Induction" period.

Here's a glimpse inside this diet: It's basically knowing how many complex carbohydrates your body can handle on a daily bases (instead of calories) and it's about cutting out all processed foods. It works on the premise that sugar carbohydrates make a person fat, not fat.

I tried the current, Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution. It is my understanding that this diet was modified by a corporation that purchased Dr. Atkins products and rights when he went into retirement. This diet focuses on promoting their bars, shakes, and other convenient items. I really didn't care for that. Those things slow down one's progress and keep you dependant on convenient foods that really aren't that good for you. I also went on the official Atkins site and joined their message board. There's a lot of very crabby people on that message board. I'm guessing that this new diet isn't working very well for them either.

I bought this Dr Atkin's Diet Revolution book for a gift for someone. The person seemed to be happy to get the book.

By Victoria Shephard (San Francisco Bay Area, CA, United States)
After the publication of "Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution," this older version seems to have been neglected. Mostly this is good because while it's a great book and I enjoyed reading it, Dr. Atkins' understanding of things has come a long way since he wrote it.

For example, the old version recommends almost zero carbohydrates and doesn't take fiber into account. The new book recommends no less than 20g of net carbohydrates, and fiber can be subtracted from the total count for any food since it doesn't raise blood sugar.

In the old version, the first phase was simply called "Phase 1" and lasted only one week; now it is called "Induction" and lasts 2 weeks. Since it includes more carbs, it can be adhered to for up to six months.

Dr. Atkins puts a big emphasis on ketone strips. The new program includes using them, but downplays them. Many people - like me - have trouble getting even light pink on our best days. I think downplaying, while still leaving the option there, is the best thing to do.

Other differences just have to do with the passage of time. 30 years ago Splenda wasn't on the market, so there is no mention of it. Same with cyclomates. Who today has heard of this sweetener? And the cure for constipation then was a mild laxative. Nowadays fiber supplements are on the market and are the recommended thing.

The only part of the book I skipped was the recipes, though if you are into cooking it would be a really awesome part to look through. It takes up significant space, so if you are looking for low carb recipes, the book might be worth the price just for that.

I loved the end of the book and wish that section had been included in the new one. It's Dr. Atkins' statement to the Senate Select Committee on Nutrition of Human Needs on April 12, 1973 (very early versions of the book do not include this). He does a wonderful job of defending his diet to the naysayers. I highly recommend reading this section of the book.

One last thing, the weight chart at the back of the book is not realistic in today's world. It's based on the old version of the Met Life charts. The new version allows people to weigh more, and I know my body just stalls out my weight loss at 145. On the old Met Life chart that was too much. On the new one it is a perfectly normal weight.

I recommend this book as a good history lesson in how the diet began, but to lose weight I recommend "Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution," which has the advantage of 30 years' worth of learning that the doctor didn't have when he wrote the first book.
