Re: me again, but need help, confused

The Atkins Essentials was written after Dr. A died and bears no resemblance to the real diet. They have tomatoes on the salad list and say you can have 3 cups a day. Tomatoes are high in natural sugar and should be on the other list. They promote all the low carb junk food during induction, because that is how they make their money.

Do your self a favor: buy the 2002 edition of the Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution and go by that. You will never get over cravings eating low carb bread and other sweets on induction.

Re: me again, but need help, confused

Sunny's right - sorry you've put out money on something that's not the "real deal". I have read a couple of the books put out since Dr. A's death. (my mom owns just about every diet book ever written, and I like to stay informed on what's going on with Atkins "the corporation").

There have been fundamental differences made to Dr. A's plan by the corporation. Although I'm sure that there are some who can lose weight on the new plan, this particular board is geared to the 2002 version of Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution (DANDR for short), so all information and advice is based on that book and not the new plan put out by the corporation.

Hope this helps.
