Reviews of Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution by Robert C. Atkins (Preface)
Amazon.com
Designed to catapult your body into a state of fat meltdown, Dr. Atkins's
diet 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's 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 percent of Dr. Atkins's patients--more than
25,000 of them--have experienced dramatic weight loss. The book
includes recipes for such luscious, low-carb dishes as lobster soup,
zabaglione, sea bass, and blueberry ice cream, and even includes
acarbohydrate gram counter and menus.
From Kirkus Reviews , June 1, 1992
Dr. Atkins' Diet Revolution, published two decades ago, sold millions of
copies but was denounced by medical authorities for its unsound
high-calorie, low-carbohydrate regimen. Now it's back, slightly modified,
and billed even more contrariwise as a high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet.
Atkins blames carbohydrates for most cases of overweight--as well as
for much fatigue, mental fog, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart
disease, diabetes, and cancer. A high-fat diet, he says, is harmful only
when added to a high- carbohydrate diet. At times, he backs off and
hedges, admitting, for example, that refined flour and sugar, not all
carbohydrates, are the culprits, and even that the desserts he promotes
should be limited to special occasions. Still, heavy cream, butter, and
cheese abound in his recipes; bacon and eggs are on his daily breakfast
menu; and his program, especially the 14-day ``induction diet'' designed
to induce ketosis, or fat-burning, turns all prevailing guidelines upside
down. It will be interesting to see how this book does now that low-fat,
high-carbohydrate eating has been so widely accepted by professionals
and public alike. Atkins claims success with his 25,000 overweight
patients (who take an average of 30 nutritional pills a day along with
the
diet), and he scores a point or two against pro-establishment
preconceptions among researchers, but he certainly doesn't prove that his
is the healthier diet. Still, get ready for a blitz. -- Copyright ©1992,
