Designed to catapult your body into a state of fat meltdown, Dr Atkins' New Diet Revolution (and the accompanying Dr Atkins' Quick & Easy New Diet Cookbook 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' 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 per cent of Dr Atkins' patients--more than 25,000 of them--have experienced dramatic weight loss. --Karim Nanji, Amazon.com

 It's like magic - but not for vegetarians September 15, 2008
Florence (UK)
Be warned that if you are vegetarian, Dr Atkins says his diet would be too boring because you would have insufficient choice of protein foods. But if you're not, it's brilliant, and it really does reduce weight FAST with no hunger after the first few days. And despite what the scaremongers say, it *does* include green veg, and after the first fortnight it includes a wide range of veg and some fruit and is perfectly well balanced. Others have come along afterwards and you may find them presented in a way you like better: e.g. Nerys and India's Idiot Proof Diet is great and has a supportive forum pig2twig, which helps a lot. Or the Stone Age Diet. Atkins gives a lot of science information, and you may like that, or not. Many have read Atkins and worked out their own diet based on his theory: break your addiction to carbs and your insulin levels settle down and release you from hunger. And the weight drops off. And he also recommends you eat fresh food, not the processed stuff that is ruining the health of the western world. It's like magic, and you almost want to run about converting other fatties who are struggling with the establishment's insistence that we should all eat brown bread and potatoes to lose weight. But the research is starting to show that Atkins was right. And thousands of people will tell you it worked for them. He's The KING.

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 and veg alone.They didn't have bread then and 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!

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
!!!!! BEST DIET IN THE WORLD !!!!! June 24, 2008
Brendan T. Hole (UK)
Before i start I think you should know that the first 5 days are the hardest but then after that its well easy as you never feel hungry!
I've done diets before - calorie-controlled, low-fat - you name them i've done it. None worked! I do this sceptical that this will work too but then i go from 24st to 20st in 2 months! I have everyday people around me starting to be concerned and thinking stupid things like am i starving myself?
I'm also having to ask my mum if she can take in my clothes !
The thing i love about this diet is that it blows to pieces the so-called 'food-pyramid' and 'way we should eat'. Secondly, (after the first 5 days) you never feel hungy - on calorie-controlled & low-fat diets you are literally STARVING!
Some of my friends and other family members, have all lost weight on the diet - do it you won't regret it! You see you're losing weight so you stay on it which is easy to do as you never feel hungry.
Just remember that your coffees, cokes and drinks all have carbs in them too! Good Luck !
