Title: Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution: Description:
Designed to catapult your body into a state of fat meltdown, Dr Atkins' New Diet Revolution (and the accompanying Dr Atkins' Quick & Easy New Diet Cookbook has taken America by storm. It targets insulin, the hormone that regulates blood sugar levels. The bodies of most overeaters are continually in a state of hyperinsulinism; their bodies are so adept at releasing insulin to help convert excess carbohydrates to fat that there's always too much of the hormone circulating through the body. This puts the body into a bind; it always wants to store fat. Even when people with hyperinsulinism try to lose weight--especially when they cut fat but increase carbohydrate consumption--their efforts will fail. This is why Dr Atkins refers to insulin as "the fat-producing hormone". Dr Atkins' diet is extremely low in carbohydrates, which helps to regulate insulin production and decrease circulating insulin; less insulin soon results in less fat storage and fewer food cravings. The diet is far from torturous, though--those who've tried it attest that hunger is not a part of this plan. Ninety per cent of Dr Atkins' patients--more than 25,000 of them--have experienced dramatic weight loss. --Karim Nanji, Amazon.com

Title: Dr Atkins' Age-defying Diet Revolution: Description:
Research has shown that 70 per cent of the signs of ageing are determined by your lifestyle. So, if you overload your body with toxins from fags, booze and caffeine and never see daylight it will show not only in your face, but all over your body. Dr Atkins, he of the New Diet Revolution, reckons he might just have the answer to your prayers. In Dr Atkins Age-defying Diet Revolution, the good doctor explains the basics of his programme, which involves a healthy dose of diet advice and vita-nutrient supplementation to help you beat the risk factors of growing old disgracefully. From what different symptoms and tests can tell you about the state of your health and your body's "real" age, to how to select the most successful diet for you and how to use antioxidants to their best age-defying advantage, Dr Atkins examines specific signs of ageing, the causes and how to deal with them with diet, nutrition and natural medicines. This is certainly not a regime for the faint hearted--the process of ageing is as complicated as the process of reversing the signs--but anyone who has spotted those first tell-tale signs should take a look. Be warned, if it's just ridding yourself of the wrinkles that concerns you then this is perhaps not really what you need. Dr Atkins Age-defying Diet Revolution is serious stuff, taking an holistic approach to body maintenance that some might find just a little too tough. However, if you want to feel good, look good and live a whole lot longer then this could well be the book you have been waiting for. --Susan Harrison

Title: Dr. Atkins' Quick And Easy New Diet Cookbook: Description:
"Diet food can be better, richer, and more sumptuous than most everyday foods", says Dr Robert Atkins, author of the massive best-seller, Dr Atkins' New Diet Revolution. Carbohydrates, in his opinion, are the root of metabolic evil and the source of hyperinsulinemia, a condition that makes it next to impossible to lose weight. Billed as a companion to the New Diet Revolution, this collection of recipes focuses on ultralow-carbohydrate dishes. His anticarb stance leads to some unconventional dietary advice: "Remember that, as a rule, the lower the fat content of a milk product, the higher its carbohydrate grams. Use cream, not skim milk; use sour cream, not yogurt."While these recipes are certainly quick and easy to prepare and feature easy-to-find ingredients, some are very high in fat (Zabaglione, Crab and Avocado Salad, Ham and Cheese Sandwiches, Baked Eggs in Bacon Rings). While it may be true that fat is flavour and is necessary to some extent to keeping blood sugar on an even keel, these recipes won't be helpful for those who are watching their cholesterol or are on similarly restricted diets.
