The Illustrated Atkins New Diet Cookbook: Over 200 Mouthwatering Recipes to Help You Follow the International Number One Weight-Loss Programme - Robert C. Atkins

Atkins doesn't have to be boring!

Advantages: Forget counting calories or fat grams :o)
Disadvantages: Most of us were raised on a high carb diet :o(

This cookbook has been worth its weight in gold to me while on the Atkins plan. I did find that a lot of the recipes in his actual Diet Revolution book didn't appeal to me and I couldn't always get the ingredients. This book is more down to earth as it is dedicated to recipes and most of the things suggested are palatable to me. There are loads of suggestions for sweets and as I have a very sweet tooth this is a welcome addition to any cookbook I'm sure you will agree, when you are following a set way of eating. The cookbook I am reviewing has a different cover to the one shown and is the companion to Atkins latest bestseller - Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution. I bought this cookbook as I wanted to see the varieties of foods that I could enjoy while on Atkins. Although his actual diet book has recipes I wanted a more focused book ...

Review of Dr Atkins' Quick & Easy New Diet Cookbook - Robert C. Atkins

I'VE LOST WEIGHT ON A DIET TO END ALL DIETS

Advantages: You'll lose weight
Disadvantages: You can't poo

check the packets for carbohydrate. Don?t think you can do this diet by eating sausages and burgers! Its not as cheap as that, in fact it cost us a fortune in meat and cheeses. You are supposed to cut out coffee and tea (no chance!) but I didn?t and this didn?t affect my weight loss. Whats do I have to cut out? All fruit, pasta, bread, rice, flour, starchy vegetables, potatoes, +crisps, sweets, chocolate (although you can buy special Atkins bars from the website) and sugar. Recipes In the Atkins book you can find recipes to make ?basic protein bread? which uses soya flour, and if you can get hold of soya flour (not as easy as it sounds, try a big sainsburys) you can also make things like pancakes. Cheese sauce was one of the funniest recipes I came across, basically you heat up some single cream and add grated cheese (like, 500g ...

Review of Dr Atkins' New Diet Revolution (The Safe 14-Day Programme That Will Help You Lose Weight for Life) - Robert C. Atkins

Before reading see update at the end - Do you like

Advantages: see op
Disadvantages: see update

been on the induction part of this diet for one week, out of the two weeks Dr. Atkins suggests, this is to get your body into a state of Ketosis (meaning that your body will burn off your fat as it has very little carbohydrates to burn). I was very skeptical at first and read a few ops on it and asked the writers a lot of questions (thanks every body that helped me!) but one week in and I feel great and I have lost 9 lbs, admittedly this is probably mostly water as that is what happens when you first go on a diet. Dr. Atkins suggests going to the doctors for blood tests before you start the diet, but I didn't bother with these, also he suggests using Lipolysis testing strips (LTS) for testing your own urine for Ketones which prove that you are in Ketosis and actually losing weight. Another necessity is Vitamins. So I went out to ...
