Editorial Review: Amazon.co.uk Review: 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 Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - Could be betterFirst of all the diet works a treat, i was very pleased with the results and found it easy. But i'm not reviewing the diet i'm reviewing the book. The book is great if you want to know the in's and out's of the science behind the Atkins theory. I personally thought even though it made sense it dragged on. I just wanted to get to the part were i started to lose weight. Eventually i came to about three pages in the book with lists of foods that were allowed on the Atkins diet. To be honest i could have probably googled the information and not bothered with the book but it is nice to hear it from the doctors mouth. Rating:  - It's like magic - but not for vegetariansBe 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 ...

Rating: - to the negative people....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! Rating:  - Dangerous dietI 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 |
