Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution Revised Edition
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.
5 Stars Original Adkins Diet Book
If you are interested in the Adkins diet but were afraid to try it because of concerns it wasn’t safe, incomplete, or not nutritionally balanced, this book is for you. Within its pages you will be assured that Doctor Adkins considered his diet plan carefully before publishing his info.
5 Stars This the one to buy
If you’re contemplating doing the Atkins Diet, this is the book to buy. The version of the diet in this book is far better than the newer book that has been published by Atkins lately.
What can I say about the diet? It’s not an easy diet. No bread make lunches a challenge, and the ability grab fast food for a quick meal is definitely a drawback. If you don’t cook, this could be a problem.
But when I am on the diet, I can say the following:
1. I feel GREAT! My energy level is higher.
2. I sleep better
3. Heartburn completely gone. No more need to take Prilosec daily
4. I am much more alert and awake
5. I think and focus better
6. My blood tests come back with much better numbers
7. I am never sleepy after a meal
8. I lose weight without starving myself
9. The diet is a natural appetite suppressant. I never find myself snacking.
My doctor thought the Atkins diet was dangerous. In the 90s he totally tried to get me off the diet, but 1 year later I was 75 pound lighter and blood chemistry looked great. Way better than it was a year earlier.
I won’t lie to you. I have fallen off the wagon twice, for extended periods of time. And every time I go back on the diet, I am absolutely amazed at how GOOD I feel when I am eating low carb. I am on it now, and hope to stay on it for good. I really don’t want to give up feeling this good every day.
5 Stars I tried it and it works. It’s as simple as that.
Im not into long reviews. I don’t like reading long reviews myself so I wont bore you. I tried the diet and it worked. In the first two weeks alone I lost 20 pounds without exercise. In 6 months I lost 70 pounds. I put other friends on it and they had similar results. It’s now 5 years since I went on Atkins and Im still thin and energetic. Im 40 years old and look as if Im in my late 20’s. (A by-product of the glutathione and other vitamins found naturally in beef). It works and its as simple as that.

I personally would rather a straight forward “DO THIS” approach, rather than all the explanations and history of this diet. I think a book on “why” and a book on “how” would have set me in the right direction much sooner. Over all good book however.
