to the negative people.... - By: N. Mcconnachie, 29 Aug 2008 
I keep reading about negative stuff about the diet but do u not think to yourselves that for thousands of years man lived on meat & veg alone.They didn't have bread then & yet they survived.So are you saying that because we have all these luxuaries now, we have to eat them to be healthy? I think not!
Dangerous diet - By: eve3981, 08 Aug 2008 
I used this book to diet 4 years ago. I enjoyed the food but not the results. Yes, I lost weight but it appears to have left me with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. I had no such problems before spending 4 months on this diet. Just be aware, it may not agree with everyone
If you just interested in losing lots of weight fast this book is perfect. - By: S. Hinton, 18 Dec 2007 
If you just interestedin losing lots of weight fast stick to the induction phase only, your looking at 4 or 5 pounds a week. A month of hardcore induction Atkins (which isn't difficult after just expensive) & your looking a good stone & a half.
The entire thing could be stripped down to a fifth by removing all of the drama (real life stories) & the final three steps of the diet. This book need to lose weight. Needless to say it works.
This book is a main component to my happiness & I highly recommend it if you feel like your overweight.
This is the number one diet - By: Mr. Russell C. Toft, 01 Apr 2006 I am sorry, but as a dieter of over 25 years, this booksays it all. Basically, all diets work. Why? Because they focus on keeping the insulin levels down. The Atkins is no different. However, unlike othe diets I have tried, Atkins doesn't count calories, & this has to be a good thing. I have weighed & counted calories for years. Can you imagine eating all you want, providing that it does not include carbs? It does work. I lost a stonein three weeks & was really difined. It is claimed to be the number one diet. All I say is, once you have achieved your target weight, you eat sensibly, introduce green leafy veg, & don't go back to eating sugary, starchy carbs.
Well I was on of the sceptics but........................... - By: B. Carr, 25 Mar 2006 I have to confess something. A friend of mine was raving about the Atkins diet & she has lost a lot of weight. It didn't make HEALTHY sense to me. About five years ago I went through an addiction to working out & I was able to lose A LOT of weight, maybe the fact that I wasin the gym everyday caused me to eat less as well. However, I noticed the weight creeping on again & no matter how hard I tried to lose the 12lbs that I gained I could not shift it. Low calorie diets failed because I was always hungry & all the other ones seemed so complicated with the points & grams etc etc .
So................................
I decided to buy the Atkins book. I have finished my 14 day induction today & have just weighed myself. I have lost 7lbsin 14 days. Admittedly I know a lot of it is water but what a motivator to keep me going. The best thing about the Atkins is there is NO HUNGER, NONE, NO STOMACH CRAMPS, NO DIZZY SPELLS, NO CRAVING SOMETHING SWEET, NO THROWING CAUTION TO THE WIND AND RUNNING OUT TO BUY A CHOCOLATE BAR.
I have to seriously consider incorporating this into my lifestyle.
