1) Hardcover Book Atkins for Life: The Complete Controlled Carb Program for Permanent Weight Loss and Good Health by St. Martin´s Press. After all the controversy about "Low-Carb" diets it´s good to get the story straight from the man who started it. This book lays out the ground rules and provides a good overview of the science behind the hype one reads on the Internet and hears from the media.

I found that just a few minutes with Dr. Atkins´ book answered a lot of my questions about how carbohydrates affect your diet and overall health. It also set me straight on a number of misconceptions I had formed out of ignorance or from the half-truths spouted by diet "experts".

If you´re thinking about a low-carb diet like Southbeach, you owe it to yourself to get Atkins´ perspective on nutrition and food-related health issues.

Bottom line...there´s a lot information in this book. It has a reasonable number of good meal plans and great recipes. Only shortfall I found was the lack of cross-referencing so finding all the parts to a meal takes a bit of effort.¤

4) Hardcover Book Atkins for Life: The Complete Controlled Carb Program for Permanent Weight Loss and Good Health by St. Martin´s Press. It is bread and not butter that is the enemy in Dr. Atkins´s popular and controversial low-carbohydrate/high-fat diet. In In Atkins for Life, he continues his decades-long crusade against low-fat eating. Atkins argues that low-fat meals are high-carbohydrate missiles, causing the body to produce excess insulin, which then produces fat, slows down metabolism, and tips the scale. Instead, he urges readers to stop counting calories and fat grams and start counting carbs to rev up their metabolism and burn fat as an energy source. The question of whether "ketosis," the fat meltdown he advocates, is healthy or harmful is a central question of this sequel to the bestselling Dr. Atkins’ New Diet Revolution. Packed with recipes, menus, carbohydrate counters, and strategies for staying with the plan, this book is less clear than its predecessor. It veers back and forth between how to begin and how to maintain "a controlled carbohydrate lifestyle." It is also more promotional, with photos of satisfied slim folks and pitches for the branded Atkins products. Still, with its pages of testimonials and studies about weight loss, lowered cholesterol, and increased energy, it is hard to argue with Atkins’s results. He puts his proof in the pudding. --Barbara Mackoff¤
