Still contains useful information by superceded by 5-2 intermittant fasting - the basis for almost all diets since

14 May 2014

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I tried this for a while, it worked initially but I found that I craved bread. Hard to stick to to but effective. Some concern over the author's relatively short life and the state of his health when he passed away. The basic idea seems sound though: drastically reduce carbs - especially simple sugars and starch and eat more fat and protein instead. Subsequent research and experience seems to back that up.

I tried Dukan too, which is similar and a little newer, it was a bit too French to work for me for more than a few months - again hard to follow long term. The inclusion of oatbran seems good though. The early low carb diets lacked an important ingredient: fibre!

Mr. GP recently recommended I follow Atkins to avoid diabetes (I believe she has followed i herself, perhaps still does). However, I have been having more success using intermittent fasting (IF, the "5-2/Fast" diet), which is extremely simple and effective: I have lost almost 2 stone in 1.5 years - yes I have been able to stick with it! I eat largely what I want - including some carbs & bread - but I avoid overdoing the carbs (esp. sugar & potato/starch) and try to take in most of my food as protein, fats/oils & fibre and smaller but regular amounts of fruit & veg. Recently I have also reduced my portions sizes & regularly skip meals if not particularly hungry - it just seems natural/sensible and more comfortable to do that now. IF offers other health benefits too - it feels healthier and more natural to me.

In conclusion: I believe Atkins is dated now and crude but it started the low carb. idea that almost all diets since have included - and the reason is simple: they are more effective & easier to follow; the previous "low fat"/"low calorie" diets were hard and simply did not work long term. Atkins was largely built on sound research: we eat too much sugar & simple carbs and they are very bad for us in such high quantities. We should eat less of those and more protein, fat and oil (especially "healthy" oils like fish, flax, olive and caonola/rapeseed oil) - but also I think complex carbs (fibre) & vitamin rich fruit (in moderation). However, I find IF simpler, easier to stick to long term and even more effective - and you can incorporate elements of Atkins/Dukan/etc. on your non-fast days to good effect too if you like (it makes sense to reduce sugar/starch intake).

This book should be slimmed down

20 November 2013

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

The theory (ketosis v liposis) seems reasonable but it is explained, endorsed and "proved" with case studies ad nauseam, with endless waffle. Had to skim read past all the expansive rhetoric and repetitions to find useful advice, which is actually quite sparse. Vitamin and mineral supplements are endorsed (including calcium supplements which have now been shown to be dangerous!) but not enlarged on, only another book is touted, kerching!

Advice about processed fats, carbs and sugar, the glycemic index is not new and does not need endless chapters to explain. All of it is freely available online in more palatable, bite-sized bits.

As for the ultra high protein intake: if you are morbidly obese and need to take drastic action then go for it, but, unless you are wealthy, you will need to re-mortgage your house. Even insatiable carnivores would struggle with the regime advocated: I know few people who could stomach such a diet or be able to afford it. I couldn't. It is also highly acidic so likely to lead to health problems. Found most of the recipes unappealing; after five days felt like a goose being fattened for foie gras. Did not shed much or feel energised, just massively constipated and bloated.

There are better ways to shed a few pounds and maintain a healthy weight. This book is not worth the money or the shelf space.

useful information and a nice chapter on candida

18 February 2015

Format: HardcoverVerified Purchase

The book is a good read. I did not follow the entire diet and I am far from overweight. However, I learned many useful things about sugars, carbs, nutrition and health. I was especially happy when I say Atkins introduced a chapter on Candidiasis with very good advice. Only for this it deserves praise. I cannot tell you much about the diet. But he totally convinced me to cut down on sugars and carbs.

Vegetarian Atkins diet

22 June 2009

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I've been trying to loose weight for years. I've tried everything, but mainly I try to eat little and often and do at least an hours exercise 5 days a week.

Nothing works... until this.

I thought I would try this, just to see if cutting carbs out my diet would give my metabolism a boost. I have a thyroid problem and I take painkillers for a back problem, both of which slow the metabolism down.

I read this book carefully and starting off by making a list of the foods/drinks you were allowed in the induction phase. I'm vegetarian so I simply swapped any meat/fish with quorn or soya products. Quorn an soya do contain some carbs, but not many.

Anyway - I've been doing it (induction) for 12 days now and I have lost 11 pounds. I really didn't think this would work for me. I genuinely thought that atkins was for very overweight people who were perhaps lazy, never did any exercise and wanted an easy way to loose weight.

I originally lost a stone by eating little n often and exercising, but then the weight-loss just stopped and nothing I did would shift it. (Anyway I won't go on about that).

All I can say is - if this works for me, something with a VERY slow metabolism, then it can work for most people. And you can do this if you're a vegatarian. Yes its a bit harder as you haven't got quite the variety of meats and fish, but there are alot of quorn and soya products out there (or tofu if you like it - urgh). Just use you brain to plan your meals.

It's all about planning out what you will be eating.

This is a strict diet, but it does get results. I'm hoping the weight will keep coming off. I probs have another 4 stone to loose to get to my ideal weight.
