Pros: Useful information, Great Recipes
Cons: None

I bought this book right after Christmas. I started the diet Jan. 1, 2002. As of July 5th, I had lost 40 lbs. and about 33 inches. This time last year my cholesteral was right around 206, now it is 172. I know it could probably be lower still but a lot...

Pros: quick way to lose 20 pounds
Cons: risky to your health & quick rebound weight gain

I've tried low-carb diets twice. Both times I lost about 25 pounds in about 2 months.

I must specify here that even though I purchased the Atkins book and read much of it, I was interested in losing weight fast, so I restricted carbohydrate...

Pros: Presents a better choice than fat-restriction to lose weight
Cons: Goes a bit too far

It's good to see Dr. Atkins back in the trenches in the war against excess weight, especially after so much talk, talk, talk about fat in your diet being bad for you!

My experience eith a diet of this sort goes way back to a little booklet...

Pros: Hunger and cravings come under your control. Lose fat and gain muscle.
Cons: Requires radical change in your eating habits.

Dr. Atkins gets much of the credit these days for "low carb" dieting, even though the concept (in print) dates back to "Banting's Letter on Corpulence" from 1852. However, Dr. Atkins has certainly put the most time and effort into getting this idea to the ...

Pros: Quick weight loss
Cons: Loss of energy

My husband is 40 years old and 30 pounds overweight. He decided to try this diet. I bought him this book. We both read it and thought it would be a good diet for him to try. However, after about 10 days on this diet he became very lethargic and...

Pros: Good diet, easy to read, explains the process to you
Cons: 14.95, he has a few chapters where he vendicates himself from media negativeness as well as other negativeness directed at the diet.

This book was great. It explained how your body works and how you will feel on the diet. It teaches you to think with your head when you eat by directing your focus at carbs and sugars- as opposed to whether or not you have the hungry feeling!
...

Pros: If followed to the tee, the pounds DO come off!
Cons: Can read like stereo instructions at times.

After two children, I was desperate to try something to get those last 30 pounds off and keep them off. I'd tried a myriad of fad diets and diet centers and nothing seemed to work without absolutely starving myself. But, my doctor suggested I try a...

Pros: Easy Book/Diet to Follow
Cons: Can get too technical....

This book goes into detail about the No-Carbohydrate diet. This is a very easy diet to follow, however, you dont need to read the book from cover to cover to get the idea.

If you really need to know the whys and hows and the biological...

Pros: Weight Loss, Energy, and Nice Skin!
Cons: You must read this book carefully. You need lots of water and vitamins that high protien delete from your body!

I have read Dr. Atkin's New Diet Revolution as well as it's competitor book "Protein Power". I liked the Protein Power book a little bit better. It was more reader friendly and allows and promotes some carbohydrate consumption even in the...

Pros: The diet works - period.
Cons: Needs a better index

Folks, this works. I have been on the diet for 3.5 weeks now and I have lost 14 pounds. I only wanted to lose about twenty, so I have slowed down the process by increasing my intake of carbohydrates. Like the book claims, I have lost this weight...

Pros: Teaches the very basics to getting thin and healthy.
Cons: None that I can think of.

This is a wonderful example of a well-written book designed to give people the tools needed to get thin and healthy and how to stay that way. The key to being successful on this lifestyle change is to follow it completely. You need the raw vegetables...

Pros: weight loss, feeling good, lots of energy
Cons: society tells you you're wrong

Pros: informative and you see results fast
Cons: verbiage is sometimes to clinical and hard to follow.
