Great book for Maintenance!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Atkins for Life: The Complete Controlled Carb Program for Permanent Weight Loss and Good Health (Hardcover)
Presently I'm following Atkins Diet Revolution, and continuing with Induction. I'm no where near goal, however I bought this book because I was curious, and I wanted more information.I'm not sorry in the slightest! There are inspirational stories of people who have lost weight, with pictures too! There's a description of the science behind the plan, but without the chapters of waffle. And wow, how fantastic to read the lists of food one can eat once reaching goal, virtually no food is forbidden, fruit, apples etc, potatoes, wholegrains, legumes, pasta etc may all be eaten moderately. This is written for the american market. The meal plans for increasing carbs by 5gs per week are great but some of the food is typically American, so be prepared to subsitute, and that is the same advise for any low carb american cookbook! Be prepared to find subsitutes and to tweak the receipes. Atkins for Life, is definitely worth buying if you reached the stage where believe you will follow this way of life for good, then this is definitely a book to enlighten you to the fact low carb doesn't mean bacon and eggs for breakfast every day!

The contreversy that surrounds this book are all rumours!!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Atkins for Life: The Complete Controlled Carb Program for Permanent Weight Loss and Good Health (Hardcover)
You have probably heard of all the stories surrounding the controversial atkins diet. By reading this book these rumours are dashed!. The atkins diet is a safe and healthy way of losing weight and staying that way by cutting out only the bad carbohydrates . Its untrue that you only eat fatty foods that clog the arteries and cause heart attacks. This is a way that is wrong to follow and means you simply havent researched the diet correctly. I urge you to buy this book and follow the rules properly and come back 6 months down the line and tell me you havent dropped a pound. Trust me, this is one purchase you will not regret!!!!.

This review is from: Atkins for Life: The Complete Controlled Carb Program for Permanent Weight Loss and Good Health (Hardcover)
This book is recommended for when you have lost the weight that you wanted to loose on the Atkins diet. It is really a maintenance program. Showing you how to keep the weight off and stay healthy with a permanent low carb diet. The recipes not being as low in carbs as those in the actual diet books and so the recommendations and recipes in this book probably won't help you to loose weight, but it's brilliant for the low carb way of life. Would recommend.
