Amazon.com Reviews

Designed to catapult your body into a state of fat meltdown, Dr. Atkins's diet has taken America by storm. It targets insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. The bodies of most overeaters are continually in a state of hyperinsulinism; their bodies are so adept at releasing insulin to help convert excess carbohydrates to fat that there's always too much of the hormone circulating through the body. This puts the body into a bind; it always wants to store fat. Even when people with hyperinsulinism try to lose weight--especially when they cut fat but increase carbohydrate consumption--their efforts will fail. This is why Dr. Atkins refers to insulin as "the fat-producing hormone."

Dr. Atkins's diet is extremely low in carbohydrates, which helps to regulate insulin production and decrease circulating insulin; less insulin soon results in less fat storage and fewer food cravings. The diet is far from torturous, though--those who've tried it attest that hunger is not a part of this plan. Ninety percent of Dr. Atkins's patients--more than 25,000 of them--have experienced dramatic weight loss. The book includes recipes for such luscious, low-carb dishes as lobster soup, zabaglione, sea bass, and blueberry ice cream, and even includes a carbohydrate gram counter and menus.

Book Description

This new edition contains the basic diet and is enhanced by new explanations of the underlying theories. There are seven new chapters.

Outstanding Diet Book.......2007-06-27

Loaded with good practical information. Reading this book took the hype out of all the crap I was hearing about Atkin's plan. It put me back in control of my eating. I lost forty pounds. I feel much better now. I liked this book so much, I bought a second hardbound edition.

A comparison of Diet Books.......2007-06-03

Like many of you, I found myself wondering what the differences were between the various diet programs. What I discovered is that all of the major diet books are well written and share many similarities. None of them offered an "silver bullet" to weight loss - it primarily comes down to keeping your calories burned greater than your calories eaten. There are theories presented about glycemic index, good vs. bad carbs, etc., but at the end of the day it's about calories and exercise.

In this review, I've tried to offer brief summaries of each diet book/program in hopes that it might help you pick out the one that would work best for you. Don't pay too much attention to the number of stars, as it's my own subjective rating based on effectiveness, ease of use, and ability to stick with the diet. Instead, try to discern which diet might fit your lifestyle better.

The Abs Diet, ****
This book is written by David Zinczenko, the editor of Men's Health Magazine. The diet likes the number 6 - promising "6 pack abs in 6 weeks," by eating 6 meals a day. Each meal is built around the "power 12" foods. There is a strong emphasis on whey supplements. The fitness program was easy to follow but perhaps too strenuous for beginners and seemed better suited to men. Strong points are excellent nutritional content and strong exercise. Weak points are questionable claims about rapid weight loss and "6 pack" abs, and mediocre meal plans. Average recommended daily calories are 1,890, with 7 fruits and vegetable servings.

The South Beach Diet ****
The SB Diet is a slightly more permissive version of the Atkins low-carb diet. It is based on the premise that eating low-glycemic foods (foods that don't raise blood sugar) decreases cravings for sugar and refined carbs. Like many of the diets, there are two phases. In the first phase, fruits, sugar, and grains are banned outright. Phase 2 allows some fruit, high-fiber grains, and dark chocolate. The simplicity of the diet might appeal to many busy dieters. However the emphasis on the glycemic index and insufficient exercise sections are a drawback. Recipes are easy to prepare, but some called for unusual ingredients (a clever cook could make substitutions). Average recommended daily calories are a mere 1,340, with 13 fruits and vegetable servings (mostly veggies).

The Sonoma Diet ****
The Sonoma Diet is an updated low-carb diet with a Mediterranean theme. Again, it is broken into two phases, called "waves." In "Wave 1," the dieter is banned from eating most sweet or refined foods. The much longer "Wave 2" permits fruits and wine. It has a unique method of calculating portions by filling sectors of small plates with specified food categories. The diet is healthy but complex. It is also very restrictive, which makes it more difficult to stay on. Also, the book doesn't offer enough on exercise. The recipes were tasty but elaborate to prepare. Average recommended daily calories are a mere 1,390, with 10 fruits and vegetable servings.

Ultra-Metabolism ***
The Ultra-Metabolism Diet is designed around the assertion that people get fat because their body's systems become toxic, inflamed, and imbalanced. Again, this is a two phase diet. Phase 1 is an initial "detox" period. The longer Phase 2 is a "rebalancing" period. Overall, the dieter must eliminate white rice, refined grains, most red meats, and caffeinated beverages. The theory of your body requiring detoxification goes beyond any scientific evidence and rings a bit of late night television "miracle detox bowel-cleansing pills." The diet is fairly restrictive and complicated. The exercise section was brief but practical. Average recommended daily calories are 1,660, with 12 fruits and vegetable servings.

Volumetrics, ****
The Volumetrics Diet is based on Penn State research. It aims to maximize the amount of food you can eat for a given caloric intake. This is done primarily by eating reduced-fat products, adding in lots of vegetables, and using low-fat cooking techniques. It encourages eating a first course of broth-based soup or low-calorie salad (not heavily laden with dressing, cheese or bacon) to take the edge off your appetite. Recent clinical studies have shown this diet to be very effective. The recipes are appetizing but time consuming. Average recommended daily calories are 1,500, with 14 fruits and vegetable servings.

The Zone Diet, ****
The Zone Diet was designed to keep your blood sugar and hormones at optimal levels so that you can better fight obesity and diseases. It requires that each meal consist of 30% protein, 30% fat, and 40% carbs (based on calories). The diet allows many fruits, but almost no grains except oatmeal. The meals are simple to prepare and nutritionally balanced. But having to keep to the 30/30/40 balance is very tedious and requires lots of preplanning. Recent studies showed that the overall weight loss was below average. Average recommended daily calories are 1,660, with 17 fruits and vegetable servings.

Eat More, Weigh Less, ***
The Eat More, Weigh Less (Ornish) Diet is a low-fat vegetarian diet that bans all meat, fish, oils, alcohol, sugar, and white flour. Their clinical studies suggest that strictly following the diet can prevent or reverse some diseases. Ornish argues that it is easier to make drastic changes to diet rather than small ones. The diet offers the most food per calorie of any of the diets. It is actually lower in fat than current USDA guidelines recommend. Studies have shown good long term weight loss, but a relatively high drop-out rate. Average recommended daily calories are 1,520, with 17 fruits and vegetable servings.

Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution, ***
The Atkins Diet is the grand daddy of them all. As with many of the other diets, it is divided into two phases. The first phase is a two week induction period that bans nearly all carbs. The second phase is only slightly less restrictive, but does slowly add more vegetables, fruit, and wine. Research has suggested that Atkins' dieters are less hungry than on many other diets. But the diet is difficult to adhere to and has a high drop-out rate. Long term weight loss has been shown to be average. The single most glaring concern with the Atkins diet is that the nutritional profile is far outside conventional dietary guidelines. (We've all known people eating handfuls of bacon, eggs, and cheese for breakfast, claiming they were on a diet). Average recommended daily calories are 1,520, with 6 fruits and vegetable servings.

Again, please don't worry too much about my ranking of the diet books - it's completely subjective. My suggestion is to simply find a program that seems to fit your lifestyle best.

Please be kind enough to indicate if reviews are helpful.

It works, and you'll never go hungry.......2007-05-06

I accidentally started a low-carb diet last summer when I ate a BBQ plate for lunch and had water to drink. An hour later I was driving along talking about how good I felt. My mother and wife asked me what I'd had for lunch, and they deduced that I'd had a very low-carb meal. They also mention that's what the Atkin's diet was based on. They both seemed to know about it. So, we all started looking in it, buying the books, and getting more information.

All three of us started on Atkins in August of 2006. I lost over 20 lbs the first month. My wife lost nearly 20. Well, then she got pregnant and we threw the diet out the window. My mother, who turned 71 yesterday - and survived stage-4 colon cancer in '95 - remained on the Atkins diet, and lost 40 lbs within a few months. She's since lost 10 more lbs, for a total of over 50 lbs gone. She looks better than ever! And has more energy than any of us. And she's had little periods, like a recent trip to France, where she was off the diet briefly, but gained no weight.

Well, my wife is due to have a baby in a few weeks. She's obviously gained weight. And I've gained weight, too. I've been running out of steam - dealing with her being so pregnant, and me picking up the slack with our 3-year-old son. We'd planned on both getting back on Atkins as soon as the baby was born. But I know I'll need even more energy in the coming weeks - as she gets closer to the due date.

Two nights ago, I was "self medicating" with food, and really pigged out. I made two big chocolate milke shakes, and later ate most of a huge Danish. I was wiped. I felt like crap. I had no energy. I needed a change - and fast.

Yesterday, I decided to get back on Atkins. My mother, who's still on it, was thrilled. I invited her over to a dinner I made with steak, lax, mozzarella cheese, aparagus, mashed cauliflower [made just like mashed potatoes with lots of real butter and heavy cream], and some zucchini slices drenched in Marie's Blue Cheese dressing. We had a feast! I'd been on Atkins enough that I'd played around with some amazing meals. I still remember how to shop and eat for the diet. It's like riding a bike, and I'm so glad I'm back on the diet.

I came here because I was researching more on the Atkins diet again. I'm sitting here about 24 hours into the diet, and I have more energy than I've had in months. And now I remember how great it felt to be on the Atkins diet. At this point, I didn't start the diet to lose weight - although that will naturally come. I started because I need the energy for my family and the baby that's on the way.

Although, you can read tons of info all about the Atkins diet right on the web. The entire diet and Dr. Atkins philosophy makes much more sense when you read the book. So, I highly recommend it to anyone contemplating this diet.

There were articles earlier in 2007 that had American Medical Association results showing Atkins as, not only the most successful diet, but also one with health benefits as well. That's a big deal. And for them to come along and have to confirm that Atkins is "the best diet for weight lose and improved health."

not healthy.......2007-03-08

Did not like the diet because i was having alot of stomach problems and was getting very dizzy at times. I now do the weight watchers diet and love it.

Thank you Dr. Atkins and God Bless You!.......2006-06-08

What can I add to all the glorious reviews below and above this one? Here's a man that was frowned upon for many years because he dared to oppose his peers. Unfortunately his diet was only officially recognized after death and as a result several similar diets have sprung up since, taking advantage and credit of his lifetime's work.

My husband and I started this diet almost 4 months ago and I have lost over 25 pounds and my husband has lost 23 (and all this without exercising which Dr. Atkins highly recommends and we intend to follow soon). I did my research on the diet and the man, and we decided to give it a try. It has worked all the way, as we were committed to loosing this weight (and still going strong). I have always been slim, working hard at it since I suffer from hypothyroidism, but gained a lot of weight during a miscarriage (stress and disappointment) and then a pregnancy 5 months later. The total weight gained was 78 pounds from which I had only managed to loose 37 pounds (through various diets) by the time my son was 28 months.
.
Now I will fully admit that this diet is not for everyone, just like giving up smoking is not for everyone when you are not committed to the cause. I assure you if you do what you have to do and READ THE BOOK COVER TO COVER it will work for you. Dr. Atkins stresses how you should be taking multivitamins and also for example magnesium or potassium in our case, since we feel fatigued sometimes given the fact that we have stuck with Induction all this time to loose weight more rapidly. If you read the entire book you will see that Dr. Atkins gives solutions to any problems that may occur while on the diet, like for example how yeast can prevent some people from loosing weight (which as I found out was also my case). I followed his advice and started loosing weight once again.

This is a book that you need to refer to again and again to ensure that you are doing the right thing and following the diet correctly. It's for people that are serious about loosing weight. But then again, we didn't gain the weight overnight; who said it would be easy loosing it?

When we ordered this book we also ordered one of his recipe books "Dr. Atkins' New Diet Cookbook" and we have used some of the recipes, which were very tasty and most important they did not need much prep time. I will admit, since we have only used a few recipes I would not be honest enough if I said they were all great, but give them a try and decide for yourself.

Also, I would like to add that Dr. Atkins did not just give my husband and I a new diet. He gave us a way of life, as we fully intend to go through the other phases (after loosing all the weight we want to loose), and staying with the maintenance from there on.

Last but not least I would like to say THANK YOU DR. ATKINS AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU IN SPIRIT!

Absolute Best Weight Loss System!.......2004-12-15

I lost at least 30 lbs and kept it off! This diet has been around awhile. I knew it worked as had tried it many years ago. I like the "new" addition of a salad a day. This is a high protein, very low carbohydrate diet. I have felt good on this diet. The day I ate macaroni and cheese, I felt bloated and fat, not slim as on the other days. I am loosing weight, even with "slips" and my regular sweet coffee. "Caffeine stimulates an overproduction of insulin, which ultimately promotes weight gain. The biggest need is to stop a caffeine addiction. Once you go 2 weeks without caffeine, you may have it again as long as you don't become dependent on it for energy." I do not need coffee for energy. I just like the taste! Since muscle weighs more than fat, and I'm walking vigorously (at least 20 minutes every day on days that are not too cold or rainy), less weight loss is normal.

Less carbs - better way to eat.......2004-06-04

On the induction phase of this diet plan I lost 10 lbs in one week, and it was easier than ever (and I've been on every diet). I continue to use what I learned in this book and I now weigh the lowest I've weighed in 7 and a half years!

The TRUTH about Dr. Atkins death.......2004-06-02

It is astonishing to read the slam pieces here about Dr. Atkins so-called obesity and overweight condition at the time of his death. Here are the facts:
* He previously had a heart condition called cardiomyopathy -- a serious disease of the heart muscle which is unrelated to diet.
* He died of a head injury because of an accident falling on slippery ice and not of being overweight.
* His actual weight was 200 pounds when he was admitted to the hospital at the time of his accident. The erroneous reports of him weighing 258 lbs was based on his weight at the time of his death. The extra weight was not fat, but an accumulation of body fluids linked to organ failure during his coma.
* His previous reported heart attack was due to a viral infection and not diet related. He spoke openly of his condition on various national news programs.
* The report that was released about him being overweight was leaked to the press by a group named "Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine", which is an ardent opponent of the Atkins diet. In short, they distorted his weight by reporting the weight at the time of death - 258 lbs, and not at the time of his admittance - 200 lbs...an obvious attempt to discredit and distort the facts surrounding Dr. Atkins death.
* A formal complaint has been filed by the Medical Examiner of New York regarding the suspicious leak of this information to the public by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine."
* The disinformation surrounding Dr.Atkins untimely death is politically driven by the AMA and other detractors of the diet.

Dr. Atkins book, New Diet Revolution has turned the AMA and other nutritional views upside down and has created a furor over the standard edicts of the medical profession. What is not said among the detractors of the Diet is that it is safe and it works. The information contained in this book will not only help you lose weight, it could save your life. The food industry, especially the bread and pasta industry have lost hundreds of millions of dollars because of the low carb revolution. Is it any wonder that this diet is under so much fire? Keep an open mind and read the book.

As a side note, ignor the mumbo-jumbo rantings and ravings of the "Elixir Diet" system (see below). The hatred and mis-information spread by the reviewer is evidence enough that the Elixir system is phony as a three cent penny. Nuff said. The guy hasn't even read the Atkins book!

Updated Carb counts and Phase indications.......2007-01-13

I like this new version. It tells which Phase the recipe would be appropriate for at the bottom. Atkin's cookbook recipes always work!

Avoid this book.......2006-02-20

This book is a rip off. It gives recipes for foods that are already low in carbohydrates, and tells you very little about how to use alternative ingredients to make low carb dishes out of foods that would otherwise be high carb. The worst thing about the book is that the low carb ingredients recommended are all made by the Atkins company. Atkins emerged from bankruptcy in February of '06 with a new product line of 60 shakes and bars, and dropped the other 280 products they sold. Most of the recipes in this book are based on products that are no longer made or sold. It is, of course, possible to find or create other recipes. But to do that, you wouldn't need this book.

This is what Atkins dieters have been looking for!.......2004-08-21

Easy-read, simple recipes. Short ingredient lists. A cookbook that's clearly organized into short chapters according to meat type. This is what I should have had when I started the Atkins' Diet last year.

Unlike its predecessor, Dr. Atkins' New Diet Cookbook, this Quick & Easy Diet Cookbook is very handy. It's just the thing after a long day when you don't want to get into an elaborate cooking session. I can pull some meat out of the fridge and look up a recipe; chances are, I will have everything I need stocked in my low-carb pantry and fridge. Most of the main dish recipes take under one half hour to prep and finish, and the ones I've tried are all taste-satisfying winners.

There is a beginning chapter that explains how to trim the carb content down if you're in the early Induction phase of the diet. Mostly, though, the meals are all low-carb enough for the Ongoing Weight Loss and Maintenance phases. I think dieters who are into other low carb diets will find it useful, too. There is no guesswork about how many carbs per serving when you measure your ingredients correctly and consult the carb, calorie, etc. counts at the bottom of the page.

Finally, I want to thank the team that finished this book after the Doctor's tragic accident last year. It's great that his "estate" is carrying on his good work to help this country and many more around the world learn how to get healthy and stay that way. Thank you all, and may God bless.

A MUST HAVE FOR THOSE ON ATKINS OR OTHER LOW CARB DIETS!.......2004-01-22

I've been following the Atkins diet for a short time and decided to buy this to save time preparing meals. This is just a great help in following the Atkins way of eating. The recipes truly are "quick and easy" and delicious. Another plus is that the book isn't overmelmingly long (not one of those "1,000 mouth watering recipes")! There are several recipes for each section (ie; beef, poultry, appetizers, seafood, desserts, etc.) - just enough to give you varied menu ideas but not overwelm you with decisions.
This is good eating even for those who are not dieting.

Book Description

Repeatedly failing to lose weight in plan after plan, many people believe that is worthless to diet. Losing weight is seen as an insurmountable task, and to follow a dietary regime is to submit oneself to torture. The delicious recipes included in this book will show you that holding to a diet is possible simply by eating the nutritious food that our ancestors enjoyed. Although Dr. Atkins' dietary program is based on what seems like common sense, it is a breakthrough in the hodgepodge of diet plans. It is a dietetic revolution!

Blurb in Spanish: Después de probar inútilmente infinidad de sistemas, muchas personas han acabado convencidas de que ni siquiera vale la pena seguir una dieta& de que el exceso de peso es algo inevitable& de que adoptar un régimen dietético es someterse a una tortura. Las apetitosas recetas incluidas en este libro les demostrarán, por el contrario, que las nutritivas comidas de nuestros antepasados también pueden resultar útiles hoy en día. Lo esencial, para el Dr. Atkins, no es comer poco y mal, sino comprender la base metabólica del problema. Por su asombrosa eficacia, basada en lo que a primera vista podría parecer puro sentido común, el programa dietético Atkins es una auténtica bomba en el panorama variopinto de las dietas actuales. Es una revolución dietética.

This is an excellent book. I have lost 20-lbs (from 167 - 147) and I just couldn't lose more than 5-lbs on low calorie diets. This one works and I'm never hungry because of the diet.

I bought this book for a dear friend of mine who only reads in spanish. I don't know if she'll be able to do the diet or not because of tortillas and black beans (she has a husband and two children). We'll see how she does :)
