Atkins Diabetes Revolution : The Groundbreaking Approach to Preventing and Controlling Type 2 Diabetes

""Atkins Diabetes Revolution", the book, is an absolute must read for anyone who has been diagnosed as type 2 diabetic, prediabetic or who has sudden high blood pressure, high blood sugar, poor blood lipid figures or who is just overweight. The Atkins approach is almost miraculous, I lost 17 lbs in about 8 weeks, threw away my blood pressure pills and saw my blood sugar come down to the high normal level in about 12 weeks. A couple of friends with similar problems are now seeing the same results."

"I found this book in a reduced price bin at a dept store and bought it. It has been the best $5 investment ever made and is worth its weight in gold.

The diabetic information is easily understood and make sense to the lay person. I love the mealplans that are laid out and the recipes for the most part are excellent. Had to make a couple of adjustments on seasonings for personal taste, but have throughly enjoyed them. I make the full recipes that are for 4, measure the servings out, and freeze the other portions. That way I don't have to make the recipes every month. The meal plan allows you to choose between a 20, 40 or 60 carb day all at a glance. They have provided food lists so you can make your own plans when you want.

Thank you for this book, it has made my life as a diabetic soooo much better and easier.

"You've just been diagnosed with type II diabetes. You're scared, confused, etc. This is the book to buy to help you through it. It goes through all the technical, medical jargon and makes it understandable to you, then gives you clear cut ways to improve your situation. Is changing your lifestyle easy? Nope, but then again, nothing worth having/doing is easy. I can tell you, though, that if you follow the directions in this book, not only will you not be hungry, but you will feel healthier than you ever have in your life. At least I do...and so do many of my co-workers, friends, etc, who follow Atkins. You really have nothing to lose."

"My friend and I have been on this diet for about five weeks, and in that time I have lost 13 pounds and she has lost nine pounds. Be prepared to spend at least $400.00 the first month, then after the first month, it does not cost as much, as some things will be deleted from the menu, items that you may not care that much for and you can still stay in range of the amount of carb intake. The only problem we found is that the portion size for the meat is not mentioned, but we just used four ounces when meat was involved. We are on the 20 carb a day diet and at first you think that that is not enough, but after a few days, we found that we do not get hungry when we were not on this diet, and mostly the craving for food has disappeared. I would highly recommend this diet, and I am planning to follow it until I lose at least 40 pounds, then just eat sensibly from then on. I have already stopped taking Glucotrol, which one of the side effects is weight gain, and every week my sugars are dropping, and within the next four months I plan on not even being a diabetic any more, that is my goal."

"I have found that the Atkins low carb diet is able to control my blood sugars and has allowed me to decrease my medications. I Think Dr. Atkins ideas are perfect for anyone with pre-diabetes or diabetes type 1 or type 2. Along with this, I also recommend Dr. Bernsteins books, The Diabetes Diet, and The Diabetes Solution. All are geared to us learning to monitor our sugars and eat accordingly. I have felt healthier, and my blood sugars are within a normal range since following the recommendations in the book. I highly recommend it, and wish the medical community would open their eyes to the results of following a low carb diet! After putting up with an awful cycle of being told to eat complex carbs, and watching my blood sugar increase from even oatmeal, and having my medications increased so I could eat the carbs the medical profession was telling me I needed, I finally found these books and learned. My blood sugars are almost normal now and my energy is great! Again, I cannot recommend these books enough to anyone who has pre-diabetes or diabetes. "
