Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I read this book back in 1992, but in light of all the Atkins-hype, I felt compelled to share my success with the plan in this book and give credit where it is due. What I got out of it is if one performed at least 40 minutes of cardiovascular exercises at least 4 times a week (which includes something as affordable and low impact as brisk walking, which the Dr. highly encourages in his book) and watched their fat intake (which was 20-40 grams of fat per day for women and 30 to 60 grams of fat per day for mean I believe) that one got down to and maintained their ideal, healthy weight. It worked, and wasn't restrictive because I could eat whatever I wanted as long as I stayed in the 20-24 g range. I didn't even try to count calories. I was one of those individuals who struggled with her weight since childhood, teetering around a size 14 as an adult, which isn't enormous, but isn't healthy for someone only 5'3", and I got down to a size 8 in 2-3 months. Also, I was a vegetarian, so I ate MOSTLY carbohydrates. Therefore, I find it confusing how the current trend is anti-carb and potentially high-fat when I achieved such success on a high carb, low-fat diet. This book is worth the read. Hope this has helped some of you out there who are looking for a "doable" weight loss plan. Good luck.
