I always turn back to this way of eating post-holidays or whenever I need to get the sugar out for a while. I always refer to it for motivation and to get a reminder of how sugar and over processed, simple carbs can really harm you.

I followed this diet a couple years ago and lost 30 pounds, unfortunately when I quit I gained 35! Good if you can stick with it forever. ;-)

This is a very easy read. It helped me lose 17 pounds for my wedding.
I was on the diet for a month and it really works.
My opinion though, is not to stay on this diet for a long period of time.

Looking back now, this diet is very unhealthy for you. It deprives you of
fruits and limits your carb intake to 20 net carbs daily.

This book didn't really help me any, because I have no will power. What I will say is this diet made me very mean because I love carbs. Use with caution.

Dr. Atkins' method is one that has worked for many people. A Duke University study indicated that low-carb dieting was more effective than traditional low-fat diets at helping people lose weight and keep it off. This method is the only one that has worked for me. Yes, you get tired of meat and eggs, but the weight will come off if you stick with it. There are lots of really good recipes in the book, too.

This diet helped me lose about 20 pounds but it wasn't a sustainable way of eating for me because I don't like a lot of meats. If you really like beef, pork, and other kinds of meats, then you will probably enjoy this diet.

Worth reading to understand "how it all started," but I'd move more toward the *Protein Power* or *Schwarzbein Principle* or *Zone Diet* balance of more modern medical folks.

Have I read this book? No. What I have read are dozens of reviews by other Doctor's on how DANGEROUS this diet is.

The more research that's available shows how dangerous the large consumption of animal products are to your health. Cancer rates soars in countries that adopt our Western diet high in fat and animal protein.

Take this book out from the library, but compare it to others in its field. Also read books by Dr. McDougall, Dr. Dean Ornish, and Dr. Joel Furhman to name a few.
