Am I reading the wrong edition ?

[olga115]

Hi guys,

I was rereading along with you Dr. Atkins’ book, in Greek, when it occurred to me that the translation was that of the 1996 edition , “Dr. Atkins’ New Diet Revolution” . Has anything changed since then ? am I doing something wrong ? Bear in mind that I’m on a clean ongoing induction. Maybe I should start looking for the 2002 original, (in English) edition? Thank you

Not in induction, after a time with the diet, that is not in the new version of course. There is other thing it says about cholesterol, the old book says to quit fat in case of high cholesterol the new version says only quit aged chesses and processed foods like ham and add specific supplements.

The book you have is obsolete as you can see, there are many things that have changed that is why is very important to have the new version.

You have to read the prologue if it starts sayin "This is an updated version of the book I wrote ten years ago to help people...."
That is the one!!!

Re: Am I reading the wrong edition ?

no that info was not for induction.


Mirna05 the higher carb feed was not recomended by Dr Atkins. he discussed folk wanting to go off plan and eat higher carbs when attempting to break a stall and then coming back to atkins and also warned them about losing their atkins health advantages while doing that, but with the new info he learned about the bad effects of that for Atkineers he eliminated that as a stall breaker in the new edition.

MOG there were many changes to the acceptable foods lists cheese amounts, veggies amounts changed on the other list they are raw now not cooked now and a full cup not 2/3 cup some moved lists even, so the rule 5 change covers it all eat nothing not on the lists cheese limits are right there on the lists.
