This kit includes everything you need (except food) to lose weight and enjoy a low-carb lifestyle. The dining out guide is especially helpful. If you are a meat lover, Atkins is the way to go! I lost 20 stubborn pounds and have been keeping it off for months now without ever feeling deprived. Also, my blood pressure and cholesterol are lower. Thank you Dr. Atkins and Amazon!

4.0 out of 5 stars Entirely worth it, May 22, 2008

This review is from: The Essential Atkins for Life Kit: Tools, Tips, and Techniques for Maintaining a Low Carb Lifestyle for Permanent Weight Loss and Optimal Health (Misc. Supplies)

I was on Atkins a few years back and I lost 85 pounds from it. I gained it all back because I didn't go through all the Atkins phases and went right back to my old eating habits. Seeing as South Beach and a few other diets have become more popular for whatever reason, its harder to find Atkins products than it used to be. I'm sure South Beach is nice, but Atkins really helps get the pounds off, builds energy, and it really simple to do. In the beginning meat, veggies and cheese are allowed, as well as butter, oil and spices. You can also use a bit of artificial sweetener(Splenda recommended). So, you can have a cheesecake that tastes like real NY style cheesecake, instead of being on a diet where everything tastes fake and you never feel satisfied. Maintenance allows other kinds of food, but in more moderation, suited to the individual's tolerances.

I just bought this kit today and it had everything in it that I expected. Delicious, low carb recipes for when I start maintaining my weight, food planners, carb counters; basically everything I need to keep the weight off once I'm done. Seeing as I got my kit for 99 cents and it's being sold on the marketplace for not much more, there really is no excuse not to buy this. I recommend that every skeptic try Atkins(according to the book) for two weeks, and see if I'm wrong.

This is a very handy kit which allows me to sit the box almost anywhere and use the items I need without taking up much space. It also makes it easy to find the information I much faster.
