Full of great ideas for low-carbohydrate meals!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dr. Atkins' New Diet Cookbook (Paperback)
I borrowed a copy of this cookbook from a friend. My husband and I had already been on the Atkin's diet for a month and I was thrilled with the amount of weight and, more importantly, inches we had lost, but was getting a little tired of eating the same foods again and again. Over a weekend, I tried a lot of the recipes in the cookbook while we were at our cabin. My cooking utensils and ingredients were slightly limited there in the Northwoods, but I made some slight variations (i.e. substitute a little onion for scallions, skip the white wine, etc.) and we proceeded to eat like pigs while sticking to the diet. After reading through the recipes and learning substitutes for high-carbohydrate ingredients, I can adjust recipes in my regular cookbooks with the same satisfying results. We have actually been eating better tasting meals than before the diet because I enjoy the challenge of cooking rich meals while maintaining our weight loss. The best part of the cookbook for me was the desserts. I rarely cooked desserts before going on the Atkin's diet because they are so fattening. I made a few small adjustments to the cheesecake recipe and came up with the best darned cheesecake I have ever eaten. Even had it for breakfast to feel truly decadent. Another happy surprise was that unsweetened chocolate is not that high in carbohydrates. The only disappointing recipes I tried were those that contain soy flour. Soy flour, not surprisingly, tastes like soy beans and does not want to mix into liquids. The book also mentions tofu flour which is not readily available at grocery stores and probably tastes like beans. As the recipes call for so little flour of any kind and we are now in the maintenance sequence of the diet, I think a little "cheating" is in order. Try the recipes in the book, then get creative!

This diet REALLY works!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dr. Atkins' New Diet Cookbook (Paperback)
Several friends and family members had successfully lost weight on this diet - so I decided to read the book. I was not ready to commit to the diet until I had all the information. The book is complete and provides detailed answers to all your questions - and it will convince you to try the diet! I wasn't sure I was ready to give up Chocolate, but I since I gained 35 pounds in the last 8 months, I was ready to try anything! Once on the diet, it was reasuring to re-read sections of the book to make sure I was "on-track" The only negative section of the book to me personally was the fact that people taking certain medications may have a hard time losing weight. As a person who has manic-depression and who is taking lithium, I was upset that I may have a hard time losing weight - and the book cautioned that this might happen. (When I started taking Lithium is when I started gaining weight - and rapidly!) However, I have had no problem losing weight and my doctor is monitoring my lithium levels and they are fine. So you fellow manics out there - don't get depressed - just try the diet! Again, the book itsn't something I will read once and put down, it is something that I will refer to again and again. Everyone hears how low-fat diets are so healthy that it is comforting to read the scientific facts in the Atkins book about why the low-fat diet doesn't work and why the Atkins diet does work.

It was great to eat the foods you love and still lose weight,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dr. Atkins' New Diet Cookbook (Paperback)
I have been on the Adkins diet for 2 weeks, I have already lost 15 pounds. It is the easiest diet. I have tried all kinds of diets and never found one that is as great or simple than this one. If you have not tried the Adkins diet, you are missing out.
