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.
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: 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.
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???...
Pros: Lose Weight! No Hunger! Fast! Easy! Cons: No Vegetarian coverage, Little technical detail, Little discussion of exercise
Who doesn't want to lose weight? What if there was a way to loose weight, fast, with no hunger? Doctor Atkins' New Diet Revolution shows the way, but it isn't for everyone.
The first edition of Doctor Atkins' book was published in 1972. The...
Someone I know is on this diet. When she explained it to me I thought it was the most idiotic thing I had ever heard. She had cut nearly all the carbohydrates out of her diet, yet was eating much more fat and protein than normal. The way I saw it,...
Pros: If you like the Wizard of Oz Cons: It has no longevity and can be harmful.
I do not want to pour cold water on people's metabolic journeys or besmirch their use of ketone strips or their delight in being able to use Half-and-Half or mayo with reckless abandon. But allow me a few droplets of the cold stuff -- in order to let...
Pros: Satisfying foods Cons: Not too vegetarian friendly
My 25-year high school class reunion is coming up in late July, so I figure I can drop about 15 unwanted pounds by then by following the Dr. Atkins plan. My younger sister, who wanted to lose more weight than I do, dropped 25 pounds in a hurry by...
Pros: None that I can think of Cons: Too numerous to squeeze into this little box.
100 years ago Robert Atkins would have been selling snake oil from the back of a wagon; he is a quack of the worst kind and a menace to the public health of this country.

Okay, I'm going to tell it like it is. I'm famous for that. I was 150 pounds and thanks to this book I dropped down to 134 pounds. Being a female I know what how weight can really weigh you down. If women gain 2 pounds you got a regular catastrophe on...
Pros: The weight lose is the final goal Cons: When it gets boring, try a reward
When I start something such as a different diet, I research as much as I can. I started with this book, picked up Protein Power by Michael and Mary Eades, M.D.'a. From that I went to Carbohydrate Addict's Life Span Program by Dr.'s Richard and Rachael...
Pros: Provides very interesting information on the American diet. Cons: Can be taken to the extreme by those anxious to lose weight quickly.
I have read Dr. Atkins’ New Diet Revolution and I have also read many of the epinions on this book, both recommending and not recommending it. I see the extremes of these reviews: those not recommending this book and “diet” say you will die, or at the...
Pros: Eat steak every night Cons: Vomiting yellow grease, sick of steak by day 2
I have to confess, I tried this diet. I had put on some weight after my wedding. People in my office kept talking about how they were losing weight on it, and I could see the results. So I went out and bought the book. It seemed pretty simple. Avoid...
Pros: Easy to follow and it works. Cons: Food cravings in the beginning.
This is a diet program that I have a long history with. Back in the early 70's I first discovered Dr. Atkins and his diet. I tried it then and after a few weeks I really wasn't on a diet anymore. I had lost the cravings for carbohydrates that had...
Pros: The "expert" on low carb Cons: Boring, poorly organized
What is it with diet books today? Why do they have to read like some masters dissertation? Ok, I'll admit that I haven't read a ton of diet books--the most recent ones were The Zone (suffers from the same "dissertation" affliction), and Fit...
Just because Atkins is a doctor does not mean he is right about everything, especially when diet and health are concerned. Yes, the Atkins plan helps people lose weight, but it achieves this in a dangerous, potentially lethal, unhealthy manner: the...
Pros: Easy to follow diet plan Cons: He can be confusing sometimes
My husband will be doing this diet again in February. Once upon a time we tried this diet after I had my daughter. We couldn't stick on it long because we got tired of eggs, chicken, and cheese. However, the diet DOES work! And I have new information...
Pros: Easy to follow, makes you feel wonderful Cons: Too many people frown at this plan(gets an undeserved bad rap)

Pros: Wow, you can eat lots of fat Cons: Can be dangerous
I have read many of the epinions on Dr. Atkin's Diet Revolution. I feel compelled to explain why I can't rate them and I hope that you all understand. They are all well written and the enthusiasm is obvious.
Pros: It really works, give it a try Cons: Must adapt to your taste and life style
I have been on a simplified Dr. Atkins diet for 8 months. I found this was the only diet I did not get hungry and lost weight fast. I have dropped two sizes, that has been the result of sticking to this diet. You will have to make adjustments to your...
Pros: Well, you'll probably lose weight on this diet Cons: You won't be healthier on this diet unless you're morbidly obese at the start
I'll be brief. But first of all, you're probably wondering who the heck I am and why I think I know so much. Let me just say I was a bicycle road racer for a lot of years, averaged 200 miles a week for much of that time, and that endurance exercise...
Pros: Very interesting and informative. Cons: None that I found.
I was the typical skeptic. I had been on every kind of diet program ever shown to me and none of them worked. My husband asked me to read this book and decide if we should give it a try. Well I read the book in one day. It was truly inspiring and...
Issues related to diets, food, eating, losing weight, and health in general are always controversial. At best, the science related to these issues can be inconclusive at times and the headlines, often based remotely on the scientific reports they claim...
Pros: Lose weight fast, gain energy Cons: Not enough variety, unrealistic eating plan
It's not a wonder the diet industry is rolling in a gazillion dollars a year. There are thousands of diets with thousands of "get skinny quick" promises and for every one of those, there are thousands of people saying, "My diet is better...
Pros: Easy for non-rabbits. Cons: Lies about the hunger part.
Dr. Atkins' plan has drawn criticism for its advocacy of ketosis as a weight-loss tool, but critics and supporters alike seem to be overlooking a key point-- the "sugar cure" it provides. My experience with a version of this diet (I cheat) is...
Pros: Easy to understand. Very informative. Cons: You must make this a way of life!
Come on people, you have to realize, low fat, low calorie just isn't getting it anymore. Obesity is up in the good ol USA.

I must be the only one in the world this diet did not work for! Everyone I spoke to said how wonderful it was. 30lbs. lost, 32lbs., 37lbs., on and on. I ran out, bought the book and started this wonderful new diet. Great, now I have permission from a...
Pros: easy to read, easy to follow, results quickly Cons: needs more recipes

Pros: really truely does work Cons: very low energy, not safe to do all your life
yes, everyone's heard everyone else saying it. This diet works. And it really does! However, the safety of a long-term normal diet like this is something that rests unassured. For weightloss that stays off, this diet, i have to say, really works. But...
I do not agree with the member's posting of the fad diet in their post. The diet listed has also been referred to as the "Navy Diet" and has been circulating around the country for years. I tried it as well as the Atkins and have one word for...
Pros: lose weight fast with no eating or exercise changes, results are fast, low price Cons: must be taken half an hour before every meal
With a new, safe dietary pill called Chitosan, I lost about 20 pounds in 2 weeks without changing my eating habits or increasing exercise. Chitosan is like a "fat eating" pill that is all natural and burns away the fat somehow! I was a little...
Pros: The results Cons: Book is written defensively

Pros: Best Diet for the Insulin Resistant Cons: Comments from the Low-Fat Crowd
I am a convert from the low-fat diet genre. I couldn't understand that while I ate very low fat I was still gaining weight. Pasta, no cheese, lots of "dry foods" - and for what? It was still going on.
Pros: not hungry, lots of meat and cheese and fat to eat Cons: constipation on the diet
I met Dr. Robert Atkins at a book signing in Barnes and Nobles in New Jersey about two years ago. He gave a half hour talk about his book. He asked the audience to raise their hands if they lost any weight on his diet plan. There were a sea of...

The theory behind this "New Diet Revolution"
The theory behind this diet is that people become fat not because they are eating too many calories or not exercising enough, but because they are eating too much of the wrong foods--carbohydrates....
My Husband has had to be on fat free or low fat diets for years because of his heart problems. None have been long term effective because of the denial of his favorite foods. He has fallen off the food wagon many times.Then it was discovered his blood...
Pros: Fast weight loss for some Cons: A slow metabolism, slower weight loss
I had chosen the Dr. ATkins diet because I had heard so much about it. Although, I have never read another diet book, I decided to try this one. It was easy to understand and follow. If you are watching your carbohydrates, there is a counter...
Pros: The diet works. The book presents it clearly. Cons: It's difficult to defend even when it works and the rah-rah tone of the book can be irritating in spots.
This is definitely the one to try when you've tried and failed at all the others. The Atkins approach to weight loss and control has now been mimicked by oodles of others, all with this variation or that to the basic concept. The book itself is clear...
Pros: It works. You WILL lose weight, no doubt about it. Cons: It is a TERRIBLE way to maintain weight loss.
Okay so we live in a nation of "quick fixes". Is this news to anyone? It would be wonderful if we could take a pill and have the body of an 18-yr old again, or become the person we want to be in a day and a half. But this is real life, and the quick...
Pros: It really works! You get to eat real foods again. Cons: Have to give up some types of foods.
Who cares?!
If you're reading these opinions it probably means you are considering the Atkins diet, and since I came here for opinions before I started it I thought I should give some feedback regarding my experience with it.
I decided to try Atkins after 2 week cruise that took me from Mexico, through Central America and finally to the Carribean. On this cruise, I must have gained at least 15 pounds from all of the excessive consumption. So, upon returning home, I knew that...
Pros: easy to understand complicated concepts Cons: recipe section not necessary
The Dr. Atkins new diet revolution book is a written quite simply and clearly. Although Dr. Atkins delves into the chemical and biological processes going on in our bodies and the bodies of those on his diet, he keeps the concepts simple and easy for...
Pros: It works, it really works. Cons: May be difficult for some to give up starches.
I am the veteran of a long list of diets, some fad, some so-called healthy, and nothing worked until I tried Dr. Atkins. I love being able to eat a plate of buffalo wings at midnight if I so desire, or a cup of ice cream, (made from a low-carb recipe, of...
When I tried this diet, I was so tired all the time it didn't seem
worth any weight loss. The diet also seemed protein heavy and
didn't seem to include the RDA of fruits and vegetables. The diet
did have some redeeming...
Pros: It really works if you stick to it!! Dont need to spend money on special foods Cons: Hard to get used to not eating carbohydrate laden foods
OK so I know what you're thinking. Sitting there at home, shaking your head and sighing, "doesn't this girl know that this low carb thing is just another fad? Poor thing." So here comes the good part, I get to convince you otherwise :). ...
Pros: This is a diet that doesn't rely on will-power, but only on informed dietary choices. Cons: The recipe section is wasted on me--but you might like to cook!
A year or so ago, my doctor suggested the Atkins diet to me. We had been shaking our heads over yet another year's weight-gain-in-spite-of-my-low-fat-diet, which had become an annual puzzle to both of us. He said something along the lines of,...
Pros: Quick temporary weight loss Cons: Too high fat, too low carbs. Diets should be a life-style, not temporary.
I am a Registered Nurse and although I studied nutrition in school, I never really had a good handle on it until I began intense studies in order to teach classes to Diabetic patients. Nutrition is an extremely important factor for diabetics, so I did a...
Pros: pretty easy to modify to a lacto-ovo vegetarian diet. And fairly easy for ovo or lacto Cons: if you are not familiar with vegetarian food exchanges it would be difficult to a point. Vegan and Fruitarian exchange is near impossible
I have been a vegetarian for almost six years (no beef, pork, fish, chicken, shellfish...nothing). I recently bought a copy of this book on-line. When I skimmed the book it seemed very "meat" friendly, but a bit veggie unfriendly. So I made...
Pros: easy to read, nice personal stories to help motivate Cons: not enough emphasis on physiology and commitment
Having read both the "New Diet Revolution" and Atkins' previous "Diet Revolution" I find this current book easier to read. However, in making this an easier book to read, some information suffered. This version seems to lack some of...
Pros: TO NUMEROUS TO MENTION Cons: LISTENING TO BALANCED DIET @#!
Over the past 11 years I steadly gained weight.This is what really got my attention. My son's mother, 8 months pregnet stood along side me and compared stomach's mine was larger! Over the next couple of years I attemped to loose weight. The problem was i...
Pros: easy to read and understand, clear and easy to follow Cons: self-promoting
Dr Atkins' NEW DIET REVOLUTION takes a page from similar low carbohydrate/ high protein diets. The diet is amazingly effective, and has proven successful not only for weight loss but for many people with other diet related health problems. The diet's...
Pros: No starving Cons: I do miss bread and sweets
I've read some of the comments posted here and not everyone followed the diet correctly. Example, you can't eat all the cheese you want because cheese contains carbs (chedder has 1 gram per 1/4 cup) I've been on this diet for 6 weeks and I've lost 28...
Pros: Good hints on weight loss that can be followed with any lifestyle change to be more healthy Cons: Not much new info in this book

Pros: very explicit, well written, not droll Cons: some parts of the book are more difficult to understand, let alone fully comprehending
If you want to see any long-term effects, you have to change your life style. More exercise, water, adn moderately more lean meats for the long term will not affect you but slightly. I am a true believer in this diet, i have lost 12 lbs in 1 week and...
I faithfully stuck on this diet from November 1999 to May 2000, Initially, I lost 10 lbs but regained every pound back on the diet. Now I am so scared to go off the diet and add carbs for people have said they gained all the weight back plus extra...
Pros: good weight loss program Cons: Really hard to stick with
I have just recently been on the Atkin's diet. I lost about 7 pounds. I just wanted to say that this diet is VERY hard to maintain. There are a lot of hidden facts that the book doesn't give. I mean do you think about how many carbohydrate filled...
Atkins does work. Have you (critics) read the recent studies? Apparently not!! All of a sudden the FDA food pyramid is beginning to crumble. Recently they have back peddled on LOW fat the recent golden hair diet. Also the recent studies are pointing...

Dr. Atkins gets much of the credit these days for "low carb" dieting, even though the concept (in print) dates back to "Banting's Letter on Corpulence" from 1852. However, Dr. Atkins has certainly put the most time and effort into getting this idea to the ...
My husband is 40 years old and 30 pounds overweight. He decided to try this diet. I bought him this book. We both read it and thought it would be a good diet for him to try. However, after about 10 days on this diet he became very lethargic and...
Pros: Good diet, easy to read, explains the process to you Cons: 14.95, he has a few chapters where he vendicates himself from media negativeness as well as other negativeness directed at the diet.
This book was great. It explained how your body works and how you will feel on the diet. It teaches you to think with your head when you eat by directing your focus at carbs and sugars- as opposed to whether or not you have the hungry feeling! ...
Pros: If followed to the tee, the pounds DO come off! Cons: Can read like stereo instructions at times.
After two children, I was desperate to try something to get those last 30 pounds off and keep them off. I'd tried a myriad of fad diets and diet centers and nothing seemed to work without absolutely starving myself. But, my doctor suggested I try a...

Pros: Boring , repetitive and dull Cons: Boring , repetitive and dull
Like father like son, this book of recipes and carrots is more of the same, eat want you want but don't eat what you like. The father was run out of town and the son should be too. If we drink a lot of water and nothing else, if we eat vegetables and...

Pros: It works Cons: Takes a little to get used to
When I first heard about this diet, I dismissed it as just another diet to waste money on books and special products, but as I looked in to it more I begin to have hope that this one might be the one for me, so I bought the book (in paperback) and I am...
Pros: You will lose weight. Cons: You'll feel deprived if you like carbohydrates
The Atkins' diet has been around for some time. Why then, isn't the whole planet now full of skinny people? Dr. Atkins spends a lot of time defending his theory against all his detractors.
Almost any fad diet will get you to lose weight....
I used "Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution" book for weight loss. I lost 14 lbs in the first 3 weeks. Try it, it can work for you too. The first two weeks were the hardest for me. It did pick up after that. Dr. Atkins explains everything...
