Did not like the diet because i was having alot of stomach problems and was getting very dizzy at times. I now do the weight watchers diet and love it.;

What can I add to all the glorious reviews below and above this one? Here's a man that was frowned upon for many years because he dared to oppose his peers. Unfortunately his diet was only officially recognized after death and as a result several similar diets have sprung up since, taking advantage and credit of his lifetime's work.
My husband and I started this diet almost 4 months ago and I have lost over 25 pounds and my husband has lost 23 (and all this without exercising which Dr. Atkins highly recommends and we intend to follow soon). I did my research on the diet and the man, and we decided to give it a try. It has worked all the way, as we were committed to loosing this weight (and still going strong). I have always been slim, working hard at it since I suffer from hypothyroidism, but gained a lot of weight during a miscarriage (stress and disappointment) and then a pregnancy 5 months later. The total weight gained was 78 pounds from which I had only managed to loose 37 pounds (through various diets) by the time my son was 28 months.
.
Now I will fully admit that this diet is not for everyone, just like giving up smoking is not for everyone when you are not committed to the cause. I assure you if you do what you have to do and READ THE BOOK COVER TO COVER it will work for you. Dr. Atkins stresses how you should be taking multivitamins and also for example magnesium or potassium in our case, since we feel fatigued sometimes given the fact that we have stuck with Induction all this time to loose weight more rapidly. If you read the entire book you will see that Dr. Atkins gives solutions to any problems that may occur while on the diet, like for example how yeast can prevent some people from loosing weight (which as I found out was also my case). I followed his advice and started loosing weight once again.
This is a book that you need to refer to again and again to ensure that you are doing the right thing and following the diet correctly. It's for people that are serious about loosing weight. But then again, we didn't gain the weight overnight; who said it would be easy loosing it?
When we ordered this book we also ordered one of his recipe books "Dr. Atkins' New Diet Cookbook" and we have used some of the recipes, which were very tasty and most important they did not need much prep time. I will admit, since we have only used a few recipes I would not be honest enough if I said they were all great, but give them a try and decide for yourself.
Also, I would like to add that Dr. Atkins did not just give my husband and I a new diet. He gave us a way of life, as we fully intend to go through the other phases (after loosing all the weight we want to loose), and staying with the maintenance from there on.
Last but not least I would like to say THANK YOU DR. ATKINS AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU IN SPIRIT!

I lost at least 30 lbs and kept it off! This diet has been around awhile. I knew it worked as had tried it many years ago. I like the "new" addition of a salad a day. This is a high protein, very low carbohydrate diet. I have felt good on this diet. The day I ate macaroni and cheese, I felt bloated and fat, not slim as on the other days. I am loosing weight, even with "slips" and my regular sweet coffee. "Caffeine stimulates an overproduction of insulin, which ultimately promotes weight gain. The biggest need is to stop a caffeine addiction. Once you go 2 weeks without caffeine, you may have it again as long as you don't become dependent on it for energy." I do not need coffee for energy. I just like the taste! Since muscle weighs more than fat, and I'm walking vigorously (at least 20 minutes every day on days that are not too cold or rainy), less weight loss is normal. ;
