Reviews for Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution
25 ratings6 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Radical vegetarians have spread the rumor that Dr. Atkins died fat and afflicted with heart disease. He did have a heart condition,but it was probably of viral origin unrelated to his diet. He was 195 lbs when admitted to the hospital. At 6' that is hardly fat. He died of traumatic brain injury from slipping on ice and striking his head. No amount of vegetables would have saved him unless corn stalks were spread to give traction on the ice. The diet is hard to maintain--but it does not call for only eating meat, or eating as much fat as you want or most of the other things said about it. This is a revision of the original Atkins Diet and reflects changes in scientific research about the value of various kinds of fats. Remember when polyunsaturated was good?

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It IS effective. If you study the human body, and our nutritional development, then it totally makes sense WHY it works.But, YOU have to work.I am 6'3". I was 275, 28% body fat. I went down to 216, 13% body fat. (I am now 245 lbs, with 13% BF due to weight training). All because of this book. I am forever grateful to Dr. Atkins. Others have done the research, but it is those individuals who bring it to the masses that make it count! He was a pioneer, like Ayn Rand and Art Williams.Here's what worked for me:1) no-carbs (not "low carbs" - NO carbs).2) aerobic exercise 3 times per week, with INTENSITY. No talking, no reading, no tv, just sweating, huffin' & puffin'. PUSH yourself. If you can talk on your damn cell phone while working-out, guess what you're not doing....3) Weight-training with INTENSITY. Lift heavy weights. Build muscle, which will strengthen you and cause your body to use up more energy, even while resting.4) Supplements. CLA, DHEA, a thermogenic.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is the book that started it all. I have no idea now why this worked so well but it did. Now that I am older, wiser and slimmer I wouldn't go back to it. Don't make me! lol. What's so wise in this book? Well it breaks dieting down into steps. I think it's great failing is that there is no minimum protein requirement. And the admonition to limit calories is buried in small print somewhere inconspicuous.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Yes, ladies and germs, this IS THE book which started it all. However, many reviewers have expressed a distinctively political agenda in their reviews, and have created an abundance of lies which need redressed. So here goes:
The Atkins plan, when followed as expressly designed ORIGINALLY by Dr. Atkins, has been scientifically proven to REDUCE cholesterol and trans-fat levels.
In addition, Atkins was NOT killed by heart disease, but a fall in which he struck his head. He was normal weight at the time until he was subjected to edema shortly before his death. The lie that he died of heart disease was spread from an unethical anti-Atkins medical doctor who leaked Atkins medical file to the press, then agitated the truths of the file, which most people without a medical degree cannot interpret.
Atkins addresses many of these fallacies in his books, and you can tell the ones who have not actually read/listened to it, but are espousing the FDA's unhealthy, sugar laden, carb loaded and dangerous eating plan. (Also scientifically proven.) In other words, many of these reviews are propaganda from the low-fat/high carb camp to scare off potential buyers of the book.
Atkin's plan is backed by over FOUR decades of sound scientific data proving its reliability as not only an effective weight-loss program, but a lifestyle, as well. The only problem with this diet is its sustainability. If you are wealth as Gates, it's manageable, but EXTREMELY difficult for low-income families to manage.
The USDA knows this, and that's why they win in creating an obese, sickly and diseased nation. :/1 person found this helpful
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I felt great when I first went on this diet. I was amaized by the results. However, like any other diiet my body eventually started craving the things I had eliminated. I just eat a balanced diet now. No more fads for me.
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I remember trying this diet many years ago. I had heard that people were having success with it so I gave it a try.I remember eating a lot of meat and eggs and desperately craving things like apples. I did lose weight with the diet but, not surprisingly, gained it all back when I returned to a normal diet.I have never known anybody that tried this diet and was able to maintain the diet for any length of time. Personally, I think it is unhealthy and an unnatural way to eat.
