The Essential Atkins for Life Kit: Tools, Tips, and Techniques for Maintaining a Low Carb Lifestyle, Permanent Weight Loss, and Optimal Health

Atkins saved my life.Lost 40lbs on this way of life.

The kit was pretty worthless overall. Save your money, buy "Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution" 2002 version, and join some online low carb lists. You'll be better off.

all that was sent was the carb counting little book.. thats not what is was supposed to be.. i used to have this and i know. this is only the little carb book that came with all the other stuff.. what a joke . not funny

This is the unrevised version of Atkins, and it is still too heavy on protein to be a safe sustainable diet. Interesting to have on the bookshelf, but I found it unusable. Has lots of recipe cards and a fold out carb counter and a little book and suggestions for daily food plans based on certain carb levels.As a nurse, I say, unsustainable, way too high in fat and protein, seen plenty of people sick and on the verge of collapse from not eating as the book suggests and chowing down on steak and eggs and sausages and more eggs and wondering why they get dizzy and palpitations and they lose 5kg of water and go off the diet within two weeks and gain 6kg.Try the Zone. It may look complicated, but the key to modern day fat loss is insulin regulation (insulin is a fat storage hormone and it blocks fat releasing hormones), and high protein diets mess with your insulin levels as well as high sugar diets do.
