Review: Atkins is the Best - I'm 60, and have a lifetime of digestive woes behind me. I got to a point where I thought virtually NO food out there would agree with me. I was slim until my second child at 36, and carried an excess 20-30 lbs. after that. I was unsuccessful with every diet I tried. In 2003 I tried Atkins for the very first time. It was effortless, the weight dropped off quite easily, and best of all, I felt physically better than I had ever felt in my entire life. My digestive issues disappeared, headaches disappeared, I felt fantastic. How could that be? A few years later I learned I have celiac disease, meaning my time on Atkins without gluten benefitted me enormously. In the years since 2003 I've learned a lot about my body and what works to fuel it. I am highly carb sensitive, and in addition to not being able to eat gluten, I also do not do well with any other grains, starches, and I have to limit even fruit since I just can't handle much sugar. At my current age it is hard to lose weight, but I've been back on a basic Atkins diet since March 1 and have slowly but surely dropped about 15 pounds and a lot of fat in the middle. I feel wonderful, my blood pressure is down, and I expect my cholesterol to also go down. I am frankly tired of reading all the other competing nutritionists and diet gurus dissing Atkins and I'm fed up with people who don't understand the diet making erroneous assumptions about it and how it works. If I ate the way these people prescribe, I'd be sick and I'd feel horrible all the time. If Atkins is so bad, I'd like these naysayers to explain why I feel so wonderful eating that way! The proof is in the pudding, as they say. While Atkins may not work for everyone, it sure works for me on every single level. I'm committed to eating along the lines of Atkins as a way of life, not as a quick fix diet. Atkins is allowing my body to stabilize and return to its natural state, and Atkins has completely solved all my lifetime digestive issues. I've enjoyed all the Atkins books over the years. My favorite is the friendly, chatty, very personal and anecdotal 1972 version, but they are all a bit different and offer different bits of information along the way. I found this new version to be quite good and it incorporates much of the newest information to back up the claims. It's valuable to understand the principles behind how this type of diet works and why it works so well, and this edition is informative and very readable. If you have had a very carb heavy diet prior to going into Atkins, there is a period of adjustment where your body reacts to the withdrawal of carbs and switches over to a fat burning type of metabolism. If you know this going into it, be ready to put up with possible headaches and feeling tired for a few days, but your reward will soon come. After the first week, I have never again experienced any fatigue. I have plenty of energy for sports (I ski 50+ times each winter, I mountain bike, I do strenuous weight and cardio workouts 4-5 times a week, and so on). The only time I feel bad is if I eat something not recommended by Atkins. I have learned how my body reacts to such foods, and I don't like it. I much prefer how I feel on Atkins to how I feel eating a different way. My advice to anyone is this: Buy the book, read it front to back, and give it an honest trial for 2 weeks. The proof will be in how you feel. The weight loss you'll observe is a bonus. UPDATE 7/19/11. I'm still following Atkins, and at this point I have lost about 25 pounds from my start in 3/10. I have lost 11% fat, going from 40% to 29%. Physically I look entirely different. I look slim and SMALL, and it still amazes me to see this in a mirror. I'm still a few pounds and maybe 5% fat loss from my goal, and need to lose around 10 more pounds. But the important thing is that over the last 16 months I have completely altered my relationship to food, and have adjusted to eating this way for life. This is absolutely key to success: you cannot go back to old eating habits. But for me, I had to realize I could not lose weight as fast as I wanted, and I could not allow myself to be discouraged by that. My loss has been in fits and starts: If I was pretty strict with the diet, I'd lose. When I loosened up a bit I'd maintain, but that was useful because this incremental rate of loss allowed me to establish increasingly lower "set points" for weight. I have had lifelong issues with high blood pressure and high-ish cholesterol. My BP is quite normal now, and while my BP is still around 250 or so, a closer analysis reveals that my HDL is extremely high (part of the reason my total has not gone down), and my LDL particles are off the chart fluffy in nature, which is also good. So I'm no longer worried about either of these measurements. I take no meds, have zero digestive issues any more, zero heartburn, I have tons of energy to ski, bike, exercise. Running on a relatively carb-less metabolism suits me perfectly and I'll never go back. NEW BOOK REC: Two of the authors of this book have just published a new one: The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living: An Expert Guide to Making the Life Saving Benefits of Carbohydrate Restriction Sustainable and Enjoyable. I REALLY liked this book, just finished reading it. It is strongly aimed at convincing the doctors of the validity of low carbohydrate eating, and is sometimes a bit technical in nature. But if you are interested in the nuts and bolts of why this works, this book is a nice addition to the Gary Taubes books and will further increase your resolve and comfort in eating this way. [...]
Review: A nutrient-dense, whole foods diet for sustained weight loss - Everyone who's dieted knows that when you're committed, losing weight isn't a problem. Self-determination can override hunger and cravings--for a time. The real problem is keeping the weight off. You can't hope for sustained weight loss if you return to the same foods that made you fat. Whether you're an omnivore, vegetarian or vegan, the New Atkins offers a diet that is tasty, satiating, nutritious, and full of variety. It includes four phases: Phase 1. Induction. You start by reducing carbohydrate intake to 20 grams (foundation vegetables) and increasing protein and fat. Your body will switch from burning sugar for energy to burning fat, including your own stored fat. Phase 2. Ongoing Weight Loss. You increase your carbohydrate consumption by reintroducing specific foods (such as nuts or berries) in 5-gram increments. If weight loss stops or specific foods lead to cravings, then you adjust again by trying another new food or backing off on carbs. The goal is to identify trigger foods and increase carbs while still losing weight. Phase 3. Pre-Maintenance. This is where you experiment with increasing your carb intake by 10-gram increments while maintaining your desired weight. Phase 4. Lifetime Maintenance. Now you know how many carbs you can eat to maintain your desired weight for life. The New Atkins includes information on knowing yourself; understanding carbohydrates, protein, and fat; foods to choose in ethnic restaurants and fast food establishments; and the role of water, supplements and exercise. It includes a chapter of recipes for low-carb sauces, compound butters and oils, salad dressings, marinades, rubs and broths. Another chapter includes week-long meal plans for phases 1 through 3 at various carb levels. You'll be inspired by stories of those who succeeded on the diet and coached on how to make it work for you. The book concludes with chapters on metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular health and diabetes. And if you're like me, you may find aches and pains vanishing over time as you avoid the gluten-containing grains wheat, rye, and barley. When I went on a low-carb diet, I had no idea that I was gluten-intolerant. I mistook decades-long back pain and stiffness for aging and a bad bed, and I learned to live with the pain. That pain is now gone. The one thing that would make this diet not only delicious and doable but very healthy would be to eat only pasture-raised meats. These come from animals raised humanely and fed their natural dietary without the stress and drugging needed in confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs). These animals taste better, have more essential omega-3 fatty acids, and are healthier for you and the environment. Please see the comments for suggestions on how to find these healthful foods.
