I picked up this book to look at it in the book store and did what I always do when I look at a new diet book, look at what fats they recommend. After seeing that they recommended the tired old vegetable oils that are all wrong for us……..I slammed the book shut and put it right back on the shelf. These vegetable oils are one of the reasons our country is so sick. If they don’t recommend coconut oil and other healthy fats from the past, then I know I should be careful about trusting anything else they say. Most of those oils in the grocery store are bad news and it is hard for me to believe people still recommend them. It is common sense to note that these oils were not around until recent decades and our bodies are rejecting them. What did generations before us eat without getting heart disease and cancer? Not these highly processed fats. Even though Atkins should get some credit for making everyone aware of what carbs can do to us, hence the two stars, I was hoping this book would be updated with new info as a way of improving on the old Atkins diet. I was disappointed. To understand what fats are healthy read “Know Your Fats : The Complete Primer for Understanding the Nutrition of Fats, Oils and Cholesterol” (Paperback)

I received the book in a timely manner. The book was in excellent condition, looks new. There is a clear cover over the dust cover to protect it, better than new. Thanks!

This book had a few more suggestions than the first to come out.There are a few that were new to me and would have helped me at the beginning better if I would have known.It recommends exercise while the other book didn’t.A lot of it is the same thing but you do get a lot of different ideas also.

Previous Atkins books went much more into detail the science behind how the low carb diet works. this one just gives a brief overview. The rest of the book is simply recipies and stretching excercies. The Akins books of old were much more informative. I have read all of the diet books written by Dr. Atkins and suggest to anyone interested in his diet to read one of the books he actually wrote. The 2002 edition will surfice.
