The All-New Atkins Advantage: The 12-Week Low-Carb Program to Lose Weight, Achieve Peak Fitness and Health, and Maximize Your Willpower to Reach Life Goals

How can we ever thank Dr Atkins enough for breaking the ice and turning the tide on the horrible disaster of the low fat/high carb pushed on us that led to the epidemic of obesity, heart issues and diabetes in the US? Low carb IS the way we are meant to eat. It's that simple - want to avoid death from diabetes, heart attack, stroke, stay off all the horrible medications pushed by big pharma? Eat low carb - nothing else to do or buy! However, it will be nice to see companies that push the refined starches go under as more and more of us wise up, thin down and regain our health eating low carb! Put down the sugar and eat some meat! You're SUPPOSED TO!

I'm about a month into this plan and have already lost 14#'s. I can really live on this way of eating. I stayed away from Atkins for so long because of negative publicity but what I found out was that people were judging it by the first two weeks only. Once you've passed the critical first phase, you slowly add back in, most of your favorite foods anyway. And you can tweak things like coleslaw to make them carb friendly. This is a great way to eat. I eat fruit, cottage cheese, nuts, and even steak. Best plan I've ever done. I loved this book so much I bought one for my dad!

I found it to be helpful--another voice emphasizing to me that some of us are not able to metabolize carbohydrates--especially the "intense" kind. Good guidelines for integrating the emotional and physical parts of our effort. I also need the spiritual component, too. Didn't find enough of that here.

This book had a few more suggestions than the first to come out.There are a few that were new to me and would have helped me at the beginning better if I would have known.It recommends exercise while the other book didn't.A lot of it is the same thing but you do get a lot of different ideas also.

Reading all the new studies that have been done re. the benefits of fat (not lo fat), my husband & I decided to get this book out of the library and try it. In a couple of weeks, we bought the book, continue to lose weight ( esp that stubborn belly fat) and feel great. He says it's the best tasting diet ever! We'll continue to eat lo carb from now on.

The New Atkins Advantage is not like the old Atkins. For anyone considering a weight loss program, I highly recommend getting this book, reading it from cover to cover and then embarking on a new life.Easy to read, easy to understand, easy to implement with hand holding all the way.A must addition for anyone that has a self help library.Jaqui Robbins

ADDS MUCH NEEDED INFO TO THE ORIGINAL ATKINS BOOK

all you have to do is stick to it

Bought this book to get back into shape again, but disappointed to see that all measurements are American and most of the items are not available in UK. Also, no detailed menu suggestions are given on the phases, which leaves you on your own to organise your own menus. My recommendation would be to go with the original Atkins book, if interested in this method. This book doesn't add any value on top of what the original book.

I like this book. It takes you week by week through 12 weeks of organization and exercise and covers all aspects of the Atkins program. There is a 2 week induction menu, then one week menus for adding 5 more carbs per day (so 1week at 25g,1 week at 30g etc up to 80g), giving plenty of menu ideas.

well enough said

worked well

Boring.
