Editorial Reviews
Product Description *A new audiobook from the #1 New York Times* bestselling author that reveals the secrets to successful lifelong weight loss** Millions of followers already know that the Atkins Diet really works . . . and new, important studies from leading universities agree. Where, in the past, the Atkins Diet has been the center of medical controversy, it has now been medically proven that eating the Atkins way is not only delicious, but it’s also a safe and effective plan for shedding pounds for good. Followers are hungry for more information on how to stay on the plan--and that’s what this program delivers. In addition to the two CDs, it will include a CD-ROM with: • 180 menu plans (over six months’ worth of menus) with controlled carbohydrate counts • 125 recipes, including dishes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and smart snacks • low-carb holiday meals and fabulous ethnic cuisine • self-tests and FAQs to help readers meet their goals and stay on track.
Amazon.com Review It is bread and not butter that is the enemy in Dr. Atkins's popular and controversial low-carbohydrate/high-fat diet. In In Atkins for Life, he continues his decades-long crusade against low-fat eating. Atkins argues that low-fat meals are high-carbohydrate missiles, causing the body to produce excess insulin, which then produces fat, slows down metabolism, and tips the scale. Instead, he urges readers to stop counting calories and fat grams and start counting carbs to rev up their metabolism and burn fat as an energy source. The question of whether "ketosis," the fat meltdown he advocates, is healthy or harmful is a central question of this sequel to the bestselling Dr. Atkins’ New Diet Revolution. Packed with recipes, menus, carbohydrate counters, and strategies for staying with the plan, this book is less clear than its predecessor. It veers back and forth between how to begin and how to maintain "a controlled carbohydrate lifestyle." It is also more promotional, with photos of satisfied slim folks and pitches for the branded Atkins products. Still, with its pages of testimonials and studies about weight loss, lowered cholesterol, and increased energy, it is hard to argue with Atkins’s results. He puts his proof in the pudding. --Barbara Mackoff
