What is DANDR and how do I get a copy of it?

DANDR stands for Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution. Make sure to get the 2002 version. The books put out by Atkins Nutritionals since Dr. Atkins' death are worthless. The book can be ordered from lots of bookstores. Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble are a couple of options. Good luck to you.

Dear gq 244,

I was reading these posts and as you can see people get very angry when you do your own thing and call it Atkins. Don't take it personally, just understand that you are in a board that Atkins strick. By the book, to the "T" ,and nothing else. There are loving and caring people in here who will support and motivate you, however, this will only happen if you do strict Atkins and not your "own" low carb version. I've been lucky, but a lot of people on this board have been bashed for doing Atkins on a daily basis because some people think they are researchers and doctors and everyone has an opinion about the choices we make regarding this way of eating. My only suggestion is get the book, read it, follow it, and come here for support and understanding. If you continue to follow your own version, you probably want to keep it to yourself or find another board to post, because as you see, some people will tell you how it is. Just trying to help you understand where these comments are coming from...

I find it less than credible that a person would come onto an Atkins board and describe in detail how he deviated from the Atkins plan, and then profess ignorance as to what DANDR is.

Methinks we have a spoofer or a spammer on board.

Ive read the Atkins book and Ive also read another version of it. Including all the websites and the FAQs. I know exactly what it is. I just thought I should share my weird results experience with my little twist. I didn't mean to offend anyone nor Atkins because I do love Atkins. Maybe I shouldn't have shared the story in the first place.

You cannot go by what is on their websites... they are run by the company trying to sell you the bars and shakes. The 2002 version of the book is Dr. Atkins trying to help people... the current company is just out to make a buck.

There is a wealth of knowledge available in this forum through stickies in each of the forums and there is a FAQ forum as well. While it is not a substitute for the book, they are very valuable. I would suggest you read them (and re-read the 2002 version of the book) if you are serious about doing Atkins the right way.

Gq .... I personally dont mind if you do your own VERSION of Atkins .. thats your business... I am concerned about your health though ( as I am sure many of the others here are as well) and my recommendations were given as I would not like to see anyone develop kidney disease through following a diet they thought was a good thing to do .If you want to do it properly and lose weight safely and feel great while you are doing it, its a good idea to follow the plan exactly -- its all very scientific and balanced and done for a reason - your health and well being. Done properly , Atkins is more a lifestyle choice than a "DIET" and designed to help you lose weight AND keep it off and stay healthy forever... not just for 6 months.
