Summary: I HAVE LOST WEIGHT AND FEEL GREAT.
Review: I HAVE BEEN ON THE DIET FOR FOURTEEN DAYS AND HAVE LOST TEN POUNDS AND HAVE NOT HAD ONE ATTACK OF ACID-REFLEX OR INDIGESTION. I HAD AN AWFUL PROBLEM WITH ACID-REFLEX FOR MONTHS AND WAS ON ALL KINDS OF PILLS AND AFTER STARTING THIS DIET I HAVE NOT HAD ONE ATTACK. THE BOOK WAS GREAT AND I AM SO GLAD I READ IT. THANKS DR. ATKINS.

Summary: What am I doing wrong???
Review: I began this book with many positive comments from friends and family! I faithfully read the pages with excitement, tossed my carbos and sugar treats and whole heartedly began my diet 9 days ago. I ate with caution and regarding every sentence of the directions and have lost nothing. The LTS strips showed heavy fat loss for 4 days, then nothing. The book says it could be a motabolism problem, but there is no explination as to what to do after following every direction fails. Help!! Where is the answer to this problem? It is not in the book that I can see.

Summary: No Success
Review: After nudging from a coworker I tried this diet and I stayed on it for the entire 14 day induction period. I went into ketosis as promised but did not lose a single pound. It seems this diet works for some individuals-just did not work for me. I am athletic and work out 3-5 times a week lifting weights and rollerblading. This diet left me feeling sluggish. My coworker hower, has lost a great deal of weight using this diet-but has regained a bit and is now following the induction diet once again. Simply, this diet did not work for me although it seems to have worked for others.

Summary: I won't say it is for everyone, but it worked for me.
Review: My ENT physician suggested this diet rather than an operation to correct a sleep disorder. The fat on the outside of my body was also within. By losing weight my snoring and chocking would stop. He was correct. After losing the first 15 pounds, I slept without a sound (Could have been my wife chocking me because of the noise).Cravings did cease and I eat much less because I am not hungry. Over the past year I have lost 60 pounds. Feel younger at 48 than I did at 38. Because I eat much less, I actually consume less fat than when I ate "normal." Vitamins and exercise have become a way of life. I no longer consider this a diet, it has become my normal way of eating. After a year of losing all of the weight needed, I now can have the complex carbohydrates, just in smaller portions. However, I stay away from refined sugar, the hidden plague.

Summary: Weight stays off!!!
Review: I was on this diet a few weeks ago for about 8 days. During that time I lost about 10 pounds. Since then I have been eating everything is site...and to my surprise have kept ALL of the weight off. I was so sure I had gained everything back. I loved the diet. I was never hungry, therefore I didn't eat much meat. I actually ate more veggies than before I was on the diet. Once I'm done with the 14 days I will be able to eat at least a serving of fruit a day. I feel the Atkins diet is progressively good; the whole purpose is to eventually take sugars and white flour out of your diet (something most healthy diets preach to do). I'm going to start again tommorrow. I can't wait! Oh yeah...for those who are worried about fiber, Dr. Atkins reccomends (pg. 273) taking a bulking agent such as psyllium husks. In my opinion, if you stay on this diet long enough, you will begin to eat amd feel healthier than before you were on the diet. Please feel free to email me with any experiences you've had while on the diet.

Summary: Easiest diet in the world
Review: I have known about this diet over the years and have used it to knock off weight from time to time. Like anything else, sticking to it is mostly a mindset, but this one WORKS. I started seriously after Thanksgiving of last year, and stayed on it through the New Year, (except for Christmas dinner and New Year's Eve). Just not eating all that Christmas stuff was a help to not gain a bunch of weight. At the end of two months I had lost 25 pounds and was getting compliments all day long. Easy to stay on and keep the diet at restaurants, etc. Good luck! (Now all these people where I work are doing the diet because they see the results a few of us have had on it.)

Summary: Don't think this is very healthy.....
Review: I have read the book, after a co-worker told me about the diet. I have not been overweight all of my life. I have always used The Scarsdale Diet. Since I've had my son I don't have the time to workout like i used to, so I have gained weight. I WILL definetly stick to Dr. Tarnowers Scarsdale diet. It is very healthy and you get the same results. Quick weight loss and feel great. So for anyone looking for a healthier diet than this I urge you to try that one. Lots of Fruit and Veges. No Starch or JUNK FOOD.
