4.0 out of 5 stars Healthy and wholesome recipies, making gourmet cooking fun, May 24, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Dr. Atkins' New Diet Value Pack (Hardcover)

If you like healthy and delicious meals, read this one. Fully compatible with most phases of the famous Atkins diet, this book learns you how to cook the good old-fashioned way: rich, healthy and easy recipies that you will just love. The Atkins diet is clearly a diet that not only works remarkably well for most individuals, certainly the obese, but it is also a gourmet diet. This book proves it and makes it easy and fun. I have seen really obese persons, myself included, lose over 100 pounds (!) easily and keeping it off: just by eating the right (low-carb)way. This book really helps with just that.

Most receipies are easy to follow and prepare, some are of high-caliber gourmet cooks - and still full compatible with the life-time maintenance phase of the diet.

Fran Gare, who contributed significantly to this book, wrote other excellent low-carb cookbooks as well. Overall, this is a very good book worth every penny.

Gladly recommended!

This review is from: Dr. Atkins' New Diet Value Pack (Hardcover)

In a motivated mood, I asked my doctor recently to give me a good diet plan so I could take off many unwanted pounds. He didn't skip a beat. He just said "try the Atkins' Diet." So, I did...and it is excellent! What a great way to lose weight, in a healthy manner, with a minimal amount of suffering. I am dropping pounds, not feeling hungry, and ready to experiment with low carbohydrate food recipes, as I have grown a little bored with broiled meats, fish, omelettes and plain salad.

I picked up a copy of "Dr. Atkins' New Diet Cookbook: With Dr. Atkins' New Carbohydrate Gram Counter," tried many of the recipes and have been thrilled with the gourmet results. All recipes follow the same high-protein, high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet (including the complex carbohydrates). From appetizers, meat, poultry and fish dishes, to scrumptious desserts, the results are wonderful. The cheesecake is loaded with cream cheese, eggs, cream fraiche, uses a sugar substitute and is out of this world. My diet is much more varied now and food actually seems to taste better than before I began the diet. The carbohydrate counter included in the book is invaluable.

I also want to add that exercise is so important in the weight loss process. Even walking for a half hour everyday will help considerably. Dr. Atkins was scorned for many years for his weight loss program and healthy diet theories, but over time, with much research, he has been proven correct. I can't recommend his diet and this cookbook highly enough! Check with your doctor first, as I did. Good luck!
