1 out of 5 stars To Good To Be True.......2005-02-17

The Adkins diet works because decreasing your carb intake decreases your calorie intake and it also works by your body loosing significant fluids secondary to increased urine excretions of ketones (from fat burning) and nitrogen (from use of protein for energy rather than the body's first choice of glucose from carbs).

Problems related to this diet include:

* increased protein diets heavily burden the kidneys to excrete exessive amounts of nitrogen which has been shown to lead to loss of renal (kidney) function with aging.

*Inadequate carb intake compromises glycogen storage in liver and muscles (the body's 1st choice for energy source) risking fatigue and poor performance

*Protein in excess of need is used for energy (but if you are fatigued from lack of carbs you wont use the energy), the other protein is converted to fat, and its a well known health risk to have an increased body fat %

* Also, high protein is associated with increased urinary excretion of calcium, and may therefore contribute to osteoporosis.

* High intake of animal proteins are linked to atherosclerosis (related to saturated fat and cholesterol content) and to colon and prostate cancers.


Honestly this diet is not healthy for you at all. Eating a well balanced diet and regularly getting excercise will help you stay healthy and can remove you from the burden and cost that all of these fad diets offer. No matter how Mr. Adkins died doesn't matter... what matters is that you have a choice to make good decisions about your health and realize that sometimes these fad diets are too good to be true and we could be putting ourselves at risk by believing they are the answer to our problems.

5 out of 5 stars 50 lbs Lost, Off Insulin, Feel Great!.......2004-10-28

1. To start with, I am a Cardiac Intensive Care Nurse and "binky"'s comments were absolutely right about Atkin's death.....and the explanation of the fluid gain

2. I have been diabetic over 20 yrs, much of that time on insulin. Some yrs ago, I noticed that if I had a meeting at work that required my attention, I would skip meals. I was sluggish, tired all the time, massive yeast infections, and so many other problems. I told my mother that I thought food was killing me....I felt so much better without food! But it was the sneaky lil carbs making me so sick!

How excited I was to discover Dr. Atkins! So now after 7 yrs on Atkins, I maintain my weight with 20 gms carbs or less a day and I no longer crave carbs. I quit buying big bags of potatoes and loaves of bread! His Revolution and this diet book helped the most. I have adapted some of the recipes in the book to suit my taste.

My doctor will tell me the usual AMA garbage about this diet and then compliments me on all the progress! Hmmmmm. In the hospital, an 1800 ADA diet includes 5 starches a day and small amt of protein! Yuck! Boy, you should have seen the hospital dietician when my doctor let me be on a modified Atkins while hospitalized!
Hope this helps ya'll out there!

4 out of 5 stars 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 weight 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. 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! Sheesh.

1 out of 5 stars Save your money and go to the Web site.......2004-02-17

I bought this cookbook before looking at the Atkins Web site. Big mistake. You can find these recipes, and in some cases updates of them, for free on the Web site. You can also find lots of low-carb recipes by searching with Google. This book also could have used the assistance of an experienced cookbook editor.

3 out of 5 stars good info...not so great recipes.......2003-10-27

I have been on the atkins diet for four months and have lost 56 pounds (and still going), so I can attest to the fact that this diet does work. I have never felt better or more energetic in my life.

The first part of this book talks about the basics of the diet. That's where the three stars came from. The second part of the book is the recipe section. No stars for it. Most of the recipes call for ingredients that I cannot find in normal grocery stores. It's really quite frustrating. Unless you live in an area with several health food stores, which I do not, I would recommend trying to find a different cook book with more practical recipes or coming up with your own.

    5 out of 5 stars THE BEST LOW CARB COOKBOOK, IN FACT, MY FAVORITE COOKBOOK-BRAVO!!!.......2007-09-25

    This book is my VERY FAVORITE COOKBOOK and I would love it even if I were not doing the Atkins diet! I have tried many of the recipes and the flavor now in my meals when I use this cookbook is so so so outstanding. Here are the best features in this LOW CARB COOKBOOK:
    1) Recipes are divided into Meats, Veggies, etc and using the table of contents, so easy to find.
    2) BEST FEATURE: The recipes give you the CARBS and PROTIEN. This is one of the features that sold me on this book.
    3) It shows you on each recipe what phase it is good for. For example, when I started phase one the induction, I was able to find enough recipes that would work in this phase and all were very low carbs.
    4) Each recipe that I have tried has tasted so wonderful, I forget that I am on the Atkins Diet - instead feel so wonderful and really enjoy each meal!
    This is a PERFECT companion to the Atkins Diet Revolution Book! I highly recommend this book. Because I have followed the recipes in this book to the letter, I have lost 28 pounds in a short time and just have 12 more pounds to go and I am losing the weight I desire to each week! And I am still in the induction phase, but will move on to phase 2 very soon thanks to the help that this superb cookbook has given to me.

    5 out of 5 stars 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!

    1 out of 5 stars 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.

    5 out of 5 stars 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.

    5 out of 5 stars 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.

    4 out of 5 stars This is a good purchase if on the diet.......2004-04-20

    If you are on the Atkins diet or your own version of it you should pick up this book. It is very helpful and the recipes are pretty good. Since I am not much of a cook I did not try most of the recipes but the ones I tried were all decent (some better than others). I do think a book like this helps you stay on the diet longer.

    5 out of 5 stars Easy to accomplish, and proven to work!.......2004-01-10

    Unlike fad diets and abstinence, this is a diet that does not require you to carry a scale, or a calculator to figure out if the food in front of you is what you should be eating. True, it helps if you love meat, but I have not met a fat vegetarian, so they should have nothing to worry about. The thought of being able to eat as much of the meat, and eggs that I want is heaven on earth. I no longer munch on pork rinds and feel guilty, but they are actually part of the diet.

    There is, however, a misconception that the diet eliminates carbohydrates. This is specifically not the case. The diet allows a severe lowering of carbs, but the allowed total increases somewhat after a short period of time. I have not stopped eating at McDonalds, and other such places, but now I know that instead of a couple of quarter pound burgers, I can get a double burger and stay at my daily carb limit. Once you are at the limit for the day, then you stop the carbs for only that day. Therefore, I can also eat rice, bread, and pasta, but in limited servings. This is not always easy, but I lost 18 pounds within eight weeks.

    I have not been as loyal to the diet since that loss, but I remain conscious about carbohydrates and this has kept me from regaining the weight after the last several months. The point is to know what will put on the weight and keep control. My wife and I add our own spices to the book's recipes so as to juice up the meals and to meet our taste needs. I do miss the big plate of spaghetti, but now I can better keep up with my children in play.

    3 out of 5 stars Usability.......2004-01-07

    I just purchased the Atkins' New Diet Cookbook and have perused it briefly. However,without having started using the recipes, I have some suggestions to the author as to how to improve the usability.
    1. All recipes should be for the same number of servings. It is easy to double or triple for more servings.
    2. The page number should be included (rather than an asterisk indicating that the recipe is in the back of the book). I spent several hours locating the recipe and writing the page number by the meal plan. This before I even started considering cooking!
    3. Little effort was made to make the recipes cost effective. By that I mean, in the first two weeks, many ingredients are perishable but used only one time and small amounts required--such as 4 strawberries!
    5. Too much effort to make recipes exotic when more normal and available (also less expensive)ingredients would make the diet easier to manage and still maintain the low carbs.

    5 out of 5 stars Lose Weight With Low Carbs - Delicious Tempting Recipes.......2003-10-27

    In a motivated mood, I asked my doctor recently to give me a good diet plan so I could take off many unwanted pounds. He didn't skip a beat. He just said "try the Atkins' Diet." So, I did...and it is excellent! What a great way to lose weight, in a healthy manner, with a minimal amount of suffering. I am dropping pounds, not feeling hungry, and ready to experiment with low carbohydrate food recipes, as I have grown a little bored with broiled meats, fish, omelettes and plain salad.

    I picked up a copy of "Dr. Atkins' New Diet Cookbook: With Dr. Atkins' New Carbohydrate Gram Counter," tried many of the recipes and have been thrilled with the gourmet results. All recipes follow the same high-protein, high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet (including the complex carbohydrates). From appetizers, meat, poultry and fish dishes, to scrumptious desserts, the results are wonderful. The cheesecake is loaded with cream cheese, eggs, cream fraiche, uses a sugar substitute and is out of this world. My diet is much more varied now and food actually seems to taste better than before I began the diet. The carbohydrate counter included in the book is invaluable.

    I also want to add that exercise is so important in the weight loss process. Even walking for a half hour everyday will help considerably. Dr. Atkins was scorned for many years for his weight loss program and healthy diet theories, but over time, with much research, he has been proven correct. I can't recommend his diet and this cookbook highly enough! Check with your doctor first, as I did. Good luck!

    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.

    5 out of 5 stars Big Help.......2007-10-08

    This diet has improved the quality of my life more than I can describe. I had gained nearly 50 pounds after two consecutive pregnancies, and couldn't seem to lose it no matter what diet I tried. This one helped me drop 14 in just the first 2 weeks. I'm now almost half way there at 25 lost, and thrilled. I eat more veggies than ever before, and drink more water and exercise too, so its really healthy.

    5 out of 5 stars Worth Reading.......2007-09-24

    Is there anyone who has had such a positive impact on American's ability to lose weight as Dr. Atkins? The science has, in fact, caught up with Atkins' assertions that sugar and excess carbohydrates are deadly. For a person who wants to know if they should take this book seriously, simply read through the success stories and testimonials here on Amazon! They really say it all. I think this book is worth reading, and if you need a bit of inspiration and some additional pointers for life long success, get The 3:00 PM Secret: Live Slim and Strong Live Your Dreams as a companion to Atkins! You won't regret reading these books!

    5 out of 5 stars best diet ever........2007-09-15

    NORA LUKAN :This is the most amazing diet i have ever been on. dr atkins is a saint. I have learned more about nutrition from this single book than I have from the other 20 diets I have already tried. This book teaches you facts that most nutritionists will only get to in 10 years from now. it is so progressive. thanks for this book.

    5 out of 5 stars Saved My Life!!!!!!!.......2007-08-18

    When I started the my new (Atkins Lifestyle)I was 5'2",375#. I had high blood pressure, bad Cholesterol levels, type II diabetes, congestive heart failure,and edema of the lower legs and feet. Doctors at Shane's hospital gave me 24 months to live if I did not lose at least 100#. That was 4 years, and 185# ago! I still need a little BP medication, but ALL other problems are gone. My doctor has been checking my Kidneys, and Liver functions for the last 3 1/2 years, and NO problems.

    I am not suggesting you use this Lifestyle, just that it saved my Life!

    1 out of 5 stars Worse than worthless.......2007-07-30

    Mindless garbage for people completely uninformed about nutrion and content to stay that way. Ignorance is NOT bliss. Thankfully few can stay on this deadly diet for very long. If they could, society would ultimately have to foot the bill for the millions of cancer cases that would result. It's bad enough diabetes is going to cost the US billions. Why are people so willing to try everything EXCEPT healthy, natural eating?????!!!

    Also it is a diet that is completely unsustainable ecologically. If this diet were to be adopted by the masses and meat/dairy consumption were to increase accordingly, we simply would not have enough farmland to raise all the cattle/poultry. Also the amount of fossil fuel wasted producing that much meat would be devastating. Let's not forget the massive amounts of pestcides, antibiotics and chemical fertilizers required to farm that much livestock, above and beyond what is already being used.

    The dead author implies that this is a natural way of eating yet the diet requires you to suppliment vitamins, minerals, fiber etc. That doesn't sound very natural to me. A child could see that the diet is completely lacking many components of a healthy human diet.

      "Diet food can be better, richer, and more sumptuous than most everyday foods," says Dr. Robert Atkins, author of the massive bestseller, Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution. Carbohydrates, in his opinion, are the root of metabolic evil and the source of hyperinsulinemia, a condition that makes it next to impossible to lose weight. Billed as a companion to his Diet Revolution book, this collection of recipes focuses on ultralow-carbohydrate dishes. His anticarb stance leads to some unconventional dietary advice: "Remember that, as a rule, the lower the fat content of a milk product, the higher its carbohydrate grams. Use cream, not skim milk; use sour cream, not yogurt."

      While these recipes are certainly quick and easy to prepare and feature easy-to-find ingredients, some are very high in fat (Zabaglione, Crab and Avocado Salad, Ham and Cheese Sandwiches, Baked Eggs in Bacon Rings). While it may be true that fat is flavor and is necessary to some extent to keeping blood sugar on an even keel, these recipes won't be helpful for those who are watching their cholesterol or are on similarly restricted diets.

      2 out of 5 stars There are better low carb cookbooks.......2006-10-08

      There are only a few recipes that I liked in this book. I didn't like the way it relied on artificial sweeteners, plus preserved meats (like bacon). But I guess that's Atkins! There are a lot of better (and healthier) low carb cookbooks out there.

      4 out of 5 stars Excellent book for Atkins followers.......2004-12-24

      I found this to be chock full of delicious recipes that have the added benefit of being low in carbohydrates. My husband and I look forward to which one I will try next, and thus far each one has turned out delicious. Not for the Atkins skeptic as many of the recipes use sinfully rich ingredients such as heavy cream...as for everyone else, you will surely enjoy. Bon appetit!

      Since I have been on this diet, all the cravings for junk food have gone. I was someone who lived for sugar and now I do not want any of it. I use to crave coffee in the morning as well but realized I didn't want that wired up feeling & acid stomach. I switched over to a caffeine-free coffee substitute made from soyabeans I found on the net at www.
      S o y c o f f e e.c om. It so easy for someone to tell you to eat less, but if you are craving bad foods, eventually you will fail. In the first five days I was on this diet all the craving ceased and I was already 8 lbs down. If you were like me and cannot wait for your next slice of cake and at the same time really want to change your lifestyle, Try this.

      I absolutely love this cookbook! It is in great condition and shipping was very quick. Can't beat the price, either!

      4 out of 5 stars 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 weight 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!

      I've been an on and off dieter all my life. This one worked for me and I've been able to keep the 20 pounds off with steady exercise Weight Watches was too complicated and I felt starved all the time. On this program I look forward to mealtime and feel very strong.
