 The TRUTH about Dr. Atkins death June 2, 2004
Crystal Lane (USA)

It is astonishing to read the slam pieces here about Dr. Atkins so-called obesity and overweight condition at the time of his death. Here are the facts:
* He previously had a heart condition called cardiomyopathy -- a serious disease of the heart muscle which is unrelated to diet.
* He died of a head injury because of an accident falling on slippery ice and not of being overweight.
* His actual weight was 200 pounds when he was admitted to the hospital at the time of his accident. The erroneous reports of him weight 258 lbs was based on his weight at the time of his death. The extra weight was not fat, but an accumulation of body fluids linked to organ failure during his coma.
* His previous reported heart attack was due to a viral infection and not diet related. He spoke openly of his condition on various national news programs.
* The report that was released about him being overweight was leaked to the press by a group named "Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine", which is an ardent opponent of the Atkins diet. In short, they distorted his weight by reporting the weight at the time of death - 258 lbs, and not at the time of his admittance - 200 lbs...an obvious attempt to discredit and distort the facts surrounding Dr. Atkins death.
* A formal complaint has been filed by the Medical Examiner of New York regarding the suspicious leak of this information to the public by the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine."
* The disinformation surrounding Dr.Atkins untimely death is politically driven by the AMA and other detractors of the diet.Dr. Atkins book, New Diet Revolution has turned the AMA and other nutritional views upside down and has created a furor over the standard edicts of the medical profession. What is not said among the detractors of the Diet is that it is safe and it works. The information contained in this book will not only help you lose weight, it could save your life. The food industry, especially the bread and pasta industry have lost hundreds of millions of dollars because of the low carb revolution. Is it any wonder that this diet is under so much fire? Keep an open mind and read the book. As a side note, ignor the mumbo-jumbo rantings and ravings of the "Elixir Diet" system (see below). The hatred and mis-information spread by the reviewer is evidence enough that the Elixir system is phony as a three cent penny. Nuff said. The guy hasn't even read the Atkins book!

This whole Atkins craze is getting pretty ridiculous right now. Carbohydrates are not the problem people, do you still not get it? You gain weight from excessive eating of ANYTHING (if you eat 40 pounds of oranges you're going to gain weight from that too). Exercise and moderation is the key. Good grief, even Aristotle knew this, yet 2300 years later people still don't believe it.
It lacks other desired nutritional values. April 11, 2004

I was expecting to find the values for saturated fats and sodium for items listed, but was disappointed to see this relatively important nutritional information missing. Instead, it wasted space by listing the net carbs (which seem to be the carbs less the fiber, which are both included). I have been following the "Body For Life" program, rather than the "Atkin's diet plan", so I don't know what is important to you Atkins' followers. The Body for Life program encourages well balanced, nutritional meals, and NOT simply the reduction of net carbs. I was hoping this small, handy guide would help me plan a lower sodium, nutritionally balanced meal while I was on the road. Without listing sodium or saturated fats, I find the listings incomplete and the guide almost useless. It didn't meet my needs at all.
 THIN SMALL compact yet has what you need to stay on track January 30, 2004
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
This is a super thin and small guide that gets to the point without too much detail and can keep you in the ballpark with your carb counting wherever you are. I like to recommend to anyone dieting or trying to make positive changes in life that you read an amazing book called Effortless Wellbeing by Evan Finer. It will help you feel great in general and also while you make progress with positive changes like weight loss. It will help you boost your energy and just feel powerful again. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED and very helpful! Good Luck!
