Looked at the book decided was not for me & wife, tried something else, actually lost 30 LBS book and plan was not for US.
I'm refering to many things: that eating this way is bad for you, your heart, your kidneys (furthest thing from the truth); that you need to eat low fat/low calorie to lose weight and/or be healthy (not true); that you need to eat low cholesterol (definitely NOT true); that you need to eat lots of fiber (not true); that cardio is good for you and/or that you need to do cardio to lose weight (not true); that stretching is good for you (not really true either). You can't just listen to the media about everything. It is the easiest diet in that if you follow the program, the weight falls off effortlessly even without exercise, however it is also the hardest diet because everywhere you go is tempting food like cake, cookies, and candy, so you really need willpower. Research things before believing them people. Anybody that tells you this is unhealthy and nothing but a bacon and cheese diet did not read the book in its entirety and they are naive. While I probably can't add more value to these reviews by adding my own review, this one of my favorite books.
I lost 80 pounds. The media puts things out there so frequently that people just believe everything as fact, when if they would take the time to research it, it is all false. I have struggled with obesity since the age of 6. Since starting this diet back then, I have always followed a low-carb way of life and always will, I usually stay under 60-80 grams of carbs a day. Other recommended reads: The Cholesterol Myth, Protein Power, Primal Blueprint, The Schwarzbein Principle, Slow Burn. Back in about 1999 or 2000, I heard of this diet on a news program and was intrigued, went out and bought the book, found it incredibly fascinating and started this way of eating almost immediately.
Atkins goes into great detail about why too many carbs are bad for you and your health and why fat is NOT bad.
so get your copy now what a book great info and you will lose weight if you stick to it.
I guess that could be attributed to the postal service. I love the diet. The book arrived in very good condition, though it seemed to take a long time.
Worth a penny, yes. I'd borrowed a much more recent version, the one pictured, from the library and wanted my own copy. Too bad about the $3.99 shipping. This turned out to be a paperback version of the original 1992 edition, nothing 'revised' about it. It's in the pile for the yard sale.
