"Diet food can be better, richer, and more sumptuous than mosteveryday foods," says Dr. Robert Atkins, author of the massivebestseller, Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution. Carbohydrates, inhis opinion, are the root of metabolic evil and the source ofhyperinsulinemia, a condition that makes it next to impossible to loseweight. Billed as a companion to his Diet Revolution book, thiscollection of recipes focuses on ultralow-carbohydrate dishes. Hisanticarb stance leads to some unconventional dietary advice: "Rememberthat, as a rule, the lower the fat content of a milk product, thehigher its carbohydrate grams. Use cream, not skim milk; use sourcream, not yogurt."

While these recipes are certainly quick andeasy to prepare and feature easy-to-find ingredients, some are veryhigh in fat (Zabaglione, Crab and Avocado Salad, Ham and CheeseSandwiches, Baked Eggs in Bacon Rings).

Love it - on my second copy
Unprocessed foods and fresh vegetables is the only way to eat.Highly recommend this book for the yummy recipes - you just have to double or even triple some of these recipes since they are made for 2 servings...I cook for 4 or more...

Great recipes
I did try some of the recipes in this book and will continued to do so (I need to lose 20 pounds)as with all low carbohydrates diet books, the recipes can be a bit bland. You will need to be some what creative, using more herbs and spices ... all in all a good book.

Atkins book
Shipping cost high. Won't purchase this type of product again if shipping is so high.

Some interesting recipes.
Though I have my own diet plane I've prepared some of this books recipes and they were very good, I made most of the salads and the Paprika chicken is a regular for me. If you don't live near some gourmet or specialty supermarkets you will loose half the recipes in the book. The chicken dishes were my favorites. ... Read more
