4.0 out of 5 stars The TRUTH about the death of Dr. Atkins, June 1, 2004

It is astonishing to read the slam pieces here about Dr. Atkins so-called obesity and overweight condition at the time of his death. Here are the facts:
* He previously had a heart condition called cardiomyopathy -- a serious disease of the heart muscle which is unrelated to diet.
* He died of a head injury because of an accident falling on slippery ice and not of being overweight.
* His actual weight was 200 pounds when he was admitted to the hospital at the time of his accident. The erroneous reports of him weight 258 lbs was based on his weight at the time of his death. The extra weight was not fat, but an accumulation of body fluids linked to organ failure during his coma.
* His previous reported heart attack was due to a viral infection and not diet related. He spoke openly of his condition on various national news programs.
* The report that was released about him being overweight was leaked to the press by a group named "Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine", which is an ardent opponent of the Atkins diet. In short, they distorted his weight by reporting the weight at the time of death - 258 lbs, and not at the time of his admittance - 200 lbs...an obvious attempt to discredit and distort the facts surrounding Dr. Atkins death.
* A formal complaint has been filed by the Medical Examiner of New York regarding the suspicious leak of this information to the public by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine."
* The disinformation surrounding Dr.Atkins untimely death is politically driven by the AMA and other detractors of the diet.

Dr. Atkins book, New Diet Revolution has turned the AMA and other nutritional views upside down and has created a furor over the standard edicts of the medical profession. What is not said among the detractors of the Diet is that it is safe and it works. The information contained in this book will not only help you lose weight, it could save your life. The food industry, especially the bread and pasta industry have lost hundreds of millions of dollars because of the low carb revolution. Is it any wonder that this diet is under so much fire? Keep an open mind and read the book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not very useful, February 21, 2011

I used this for several days then switched to a DietMinder journal. The Atkins journal doesn't have enough room to record everything you eat, let alone any reactions you might have to what you eat (cravings, bloating, etc). In addition, it has one of those cheap plastic binders that comes apart after a while. I highly recommend the DietMinder instead.

The Atkins Food Journal is great!! It helps to keep on track with the foods that you are eating and where you are at with your carbs for the day. Until I got the food journal I was writing my food intake on a piece of paper and it never failed I would lose the paper and not remember everything I ate!! I would recommend this Food Journal to anyone who is dieting and need to keep track of thier food.
