Pros: Atkins may be right.
Cons: I'm not sure that he's as right as he thinks he is.

I would never have considered reading Dr. Atkins’ New Diet Revolution if not for the fact that my w ...

Pros: A Wealth of Information Regarding Dietary Issues
Cons: A Dry Reading Experience

Wimpy! Wimpy! Wimpy!
Subtitle: I’ll Gladly Pay You Tuesday for a Sugar Cube Today

Revolution is the keyword around this household. Not mentioned in “Dr. Atkins’ New Diet Revolution”: dealing with the up rise and revolt of...

Pros: Well written and easy to understand book.
Cons: None, he presents both sides but do your own research.

This is a totally redone review of Dr. Atkins’ New Diet Revolution first written in April 2000. The New Diet Revolution became a best seller and Atkins' followers are adamant about his diet. I am not reviewing the diet having done ...

Pros: None
Cons: Body damage, nutritional imbalances, unhealthy to you.

DON'T TRY THIS DIET AT HOME:
Plus a slight disclaimer.

Let me first say that the heading on this epinion may be somewhat misleading since I have never dieted, but friends and family who have used this diet have. And as an...

Pros: Very indepth, highly interesting reading
Cons: Leaves out a few key things, a little too technical

Well, I guess I need to preface this opinion with saying that not only am I NOT dead as some people on here have been saying when one is on the diet, I am more alive than I ever was.

Now to the book.

My nephew was on the...

Pros: Lose weight just a readin' the book
Cons: cost too much!

A few weeks ago, I was a vegatatin' in my rocker watchin' my cable TV and downing Twinkies and finishin' off my last Old Milwaukee beer. My dysfunctional cable system was stuck on the Romance Channel so I turned off the set and decided to go to...

Pros: Easy to understand weight loss plan described in detail
Cons: Recipes have a lot to be desired

Less than two months ago, I made a dramatic decision to change my life. I had long been on low fat diets, exercise programs, and all of the other seemingly popular diets of the day without much success for most of my life. However, one of the diets I...

Pros: It Works...IT WORKS
Cons: Overwriting all the myths you've heard about fat is tough initially

Okay...the hard facts. I like to eat...and so do you....right?

Most diets try to convince you to eat less. My favorite line from this tome is right up front.....the advice says they want you "to eat as much...

Pros: Easy to follow great resource
Cons: A lot of information to digest

I will start out by saying this is my second try at the Atkins diet. I tried once back in 1999 and failed after three days because it was too hard not to cheat. After gaining about 40lbs. I decided it was time to pick up the book and learn all there ...

Pros: The diet works - Plus there are some surprising health benefits!
Cons: Hmmm....can't think of any! Eating lots and losing weight!

I initially began the Atkins Diet to lose the last ten stubborn pounds after having a baby. You know, moms, those last ten that often NEVER go away and you carry into the rest of your life. I just wanted to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight,...

Pros: Rapid Weight Loss
Cons: Not good for the long term

I read Dr. Atkins' Diet Revolution a little over three years ago. And I must admit that I was a skeptic because it sounded so outrageous. For those of you who haven't heard the basic premise, here it goes.

Dr. Atkins asserts that weight loss...

Pros: Understandable, easy reading
Cons: a lot to read and remember

Contrary to the way some people think opinions should be written, I intend to give a simple overview and not write another book here.

I really like the simplicity of this book. In just a couple of hours I got the impression that this diet...

Pros: Includes recipes and menus
Cons: Beware the fat in this diet

As an overweight healthcare professional, I was very interested in this new diet craze, so I picked up a copy of Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution. I could take a lot of paragraphs and explain some of physiology behind his theories, but I think I'll stick...

Pros: Look good, feel good, get healthy, and lose weight.
Cons: Food costs more / you have to listen to people quoting bogus statistics.

The Atkins 'diet' most people think of is not meant to be followed forever, it is a corrective diet. Atkins recommends a maintenance diet which strives to find a balance where you do eat fruits, vegetables, meat, fish, and even whole grains! The...

Pros: Never feel hungry, its surprising the number of things you can eat,
Cons: Giving up sugar, refined products, junk food! Its hard! Withdrawal stinks!

Updated January 9, 2001

I have been on this plan, with medical supervision for about 9 Months! Now, I can see the skeptical look in your eye... another fad diet, eh? I have lost 42 pounds!!! WILL SOMEONE SAY HURRAY???...
