Robert Coleman Atkins, MD was an American physician and cardiologist, best known for the Atkins Nutritional Approach (or "Atkins Diet"), a popular but controversial way of dieting that entails eating low-carbohydrate and high-protein foods, in addition to leaf vegetables and dietary supplements.
My diet is already restricted, so with a little tweaking, I was able to follow this one--and it works for me! I don't handle any dairy well, so most soft cheese had to be eliminated. But veggies, fruits and meats and eggs are okay. I wanted to see what different ways the foods were prepared or seasoned to make them outstanding and perhaps more interesting to me. There are some very good recipes in the mix that are well worth the book.

I tried the Atkins' diet once and lost twenty pounds--and promptly gained half of that back. Good for weight loss. Not so sure about maintenance. I saw a lot of friends try it and lose a lot of weight and then some time later, most of them were status quo ante. . . . Still, this volume provides a good set of Atkins' recipes and is a fine resource if one wishes to try the diet. . . .
I love this cookbook because the recipes are so elegant. Everything has been very delicious and there is great information in there to improve your own recipes. Warning that the recipes are not every day fare unless you want everyday to feel special! Wonderful!
