Reviews for Dr. Atkins' Quick & Easy New Diet Cookbook
22 ratings5 reviews
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Useful for recipes for special meals but many too elaborate for the 'what's for dinner tonight?' routine.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5It IS effective. If you study the human body, and our nutritional development, then it totally makes sense WHY it works.But, YOU have to work.I am 6'3". I was 275, 28% body fat. I went down to 216, 13% body fat. (I am now 245 lbs, with 13% BF due to weight training). All because of this book. I am forever grateful to Dr. Atkins. Others have done the research, but it is those individuals who bring it to the masses that make it count! He was a pioneer, like Ayn Rand and Art Williams.Here's what worked for me:1) no-carbs (not "low carbs" - NO carbs).2) aerobic exercise 3 times per week, with INTENSITY. No talking, no reading, no tv, just sweating, huffin' & puffin'. PUSH yourself. If you can talk on your damn cell phone while working-out, guess what you're not doing....3) Weight-training with INTENSITY. Lift heavy weights. Build muscle, which will strengthen you and cause your body to use up more energy, even while resting.4) Supplements. CLA, DHEA, a thermogenic.

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5I remember trying this diet many years ago. I had heard that people were having success with it so I gave it a try.I remember eating a lot of meat and eggs and desperately craving things like apples. I did lose weight with the diet but, not surprisingly, gained it all back when I returned to a normal diet.I have never known anybody that tried this diet and was able to maintain the diet for any length of time. Personally, I think it is unhealthy and an unnatural way to eat.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I felt great when I first went on this diet. I was amaized by the results. However, like any other diiet my body eventually started craving the things I had eliminated. I just eat a balanced diet now. No more fads for me.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is the book that started it all. I have no idea now why this worked so well but it did. Now that I am older, wiser and slimmer I wouldn't go back to it. Don't make me! lol. What's so wise in this book? Well it breaks dieting down into steps. I think it's great failing is that there is no minimum protein requirement. And the admonition to limit calories is buried in small print somewhere inconspicuous.

The Best Food You Have Ever Tasted
by Veronica Atkins
Dr. Robert C. Atkins and I developed this book not only to whet your appetite but also to give you the know-how to lead the controlled carbohydrate lifestyle. I never want you to feel as if you’re on a restrictive program. Instead, you should enjoy the varied and luxurious cuisine that doing Atkins offers.
This book is also designed for the busy home cook, so all the recipes can be made in thirty minutes or less. These dishes are satisfying as well as delicious, nutritious as well as substantial, and easy to prepare as well as adaptable. In these recipes I did not skimp on flavors or ingredients because I didn’t have to, and my sentiments about food would not allow me to.
Throughout my life, food has played a pivotal role. Growing up in post-war Europe, food was very scarce, but my family still enjoyed wonderfully creative dishes. As an opera singer I lived in many countries with unique culinary traditions and discovered many new foods and flavors. Then in the United States I met a kindred spirit, a pioneering doctor, who saw food as something much more powerful than mere sustenance.
My marriage and my work with Dr. Atkins and his revolutionary controlled carbohydrate program were a natural continuation of my lifelong love affair with food. I began to create low carbohydrate recipes that were uncomplicated and delicious. All of our friends asked me for my secrets. But when you’re cooking the low carb way, you don’t need a secret, complicated approach. Just a few simple steps can start you on the way to a healthy method of cooking for a lifetime.
You will be amazed how easy it is to modify your own recipes to create a low carb menu. Most main-course dishes are readily tailored for the Atkins way of eating because most of them are already protein-based. The recipes included in this book are some of my favorites, and after working with them, you will soon learn how to modify your own favorite main-course meals so they fit perfectly into your new controlled carb lifestyle.
Vegetable dishes are almost as easy to modify. Just keep handy a list of the acceptable vegetables while you are in the Induction phase. As you move through the three phases that culminate in Lifetime Maintenance, you will gradually add most foods back into your meals, although portions will be small and certain foods should be eaten only infrequently. The only foods that remain no-no’s are sugar, bleached flour, trans fats (hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils), and other highly refined foods. I have also tried to make the vegetable dishes extra flavorful and luxurious, so they can even stand on their own as the centerpiece of a meal.
Breads and desserts are a bit harder to modify but not impossible. By testing different substitute ingredients, I have found the best combinations for creating delicious low carb baked goods. Fortunately, there are more low carb foods and ingredients than ever before, some made by our company, Atkins Nutritionals. Several of these are particularly suited to your baking needs.
Most important, this book isn’t really about losing weight or even about maintaining your goal weight once you reach it. Instead, this book is about real food, sumptuous food. I encourage you to explore your palate, try new flavors, and see cooking as fun instead of a chore. The culinary arts have diminished in recent years, and because we are all so pressed for time, prepackaged foods wait on the shelves as a quick-fix answer. But a sea change is under way. People are demanding a change not just in taste but also in quality! They want foods that taste luxurious yet are good for them. The twenty-first century has ushered in the low carb revolution. It’s also time for a renaissance in home cooking, and there is no cuisine more suitable than the kind that is appropriate for the Atkins Nutritional Approach™. This book will change your perception of cooking and weight control. You will come to view this eating style not as a diet,
which you go on and then get off, like a bus, but as a lifelong journey, and not as a painful experience but as a constant pleasure.
Quick & Easy Kitchen Strategies
When you cook every day, your kitchen has to be simple and well organized. And taking control of your pantry and refrigerator makes watching your weight much easier, too. The following are some practical suggestions to reprogram your kitchen for your controlled carb lifestyle.
Clean House
Get rid of the temptations! You probably have a lot of nutrient-empty carbs lurking in your kitchen: crackers, bread crumbs, potato chips, cookies, jams, and so forth. You don’t have to throw them all away—others in your home may not be joining you on Atkins. The recipes in this book are appropriate for the whole family, but those consuming a higher level of carbs can add a few nutritious ones, such as more vegetables, whole-grain bread, brown rice, and the like, to the side of the main course you’ve prepared.
But do gather up these nutrient-deficient carbohydrate foods and put them in a separate part of your pantry and refrigerator. When you are cooking the recipes in this book, you want your shelves to be stocked with tasty, low carb foods. If all members of your household are doing Atkins, or you live alone, of course you can get rid of all those high carb temptations once and for all.
Managing Your Week
With a little planning you can whip up some simple building blocks for a week’s worth of meals. If you prepare a few sauces on Sunday, when you’re likely to have more free time, you can combine them with protein staples (chicken, beef, fish, and so on; for a complete list) or leftovers during the week. And you’ll end up with a variety of flavorful dishes for those busy evenings. Of course, if you prefer, all of the sauces can be made when you need them.
For example, if you make Basil Pesto, you can serve it with grilled chicken the first day, use it in an omelet with mozzarella cheese the following day, and then add a tablespoon of it to your tuna salad on another day. So if you make a few sauces or dressings at the beginning of the week, your meals will be tasty and
