Atkins book in Italian?

[SugarFreeSheila]

A friend of mine in Milan is looking for the Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution in Italian - and this is a book I know was translated in many different languages. eBay Italia only seems to sell English copies of the book.

Any help here? I don't speak Italian but maybe she can get some info on where to buy the book from one of these?

Thank you, Elizellen. Now that I think about it, isn't there a longtime "Brit living in Italy" poster here? Her username is at the tip of my tongue! I'm going to browse around here for her ... thank you for the brainstorm!

Ok. This is completely off topic but I just have to say.....SugarFreeSheila,

"You look marvelous darling"
(I am saying that in my best Billy Crystal impersonation voice)

I think I will have to move my goal weight down to 109 lbs and hope I look that good when I get down to that weight. How long did it take you to get to goal?

Just seen this thread... I've never heard of DANDR in Italian... will search around a bit and see what I can come up with.

Re: Atkins book in Italian?

After a bit of searching around, I've found there is a book translated:

La dieta Atkins - Gli insospettabili vantaggi di un'alimentazione proteica by Robert C Atkins - Published by Mondadori Editori Collana Oscar Suite - 2004.

I'm trying to find sites where this is for sale... no luck so far. Looks like it's out of print or something.
Will update if I find anything else...

EDITED TO ADD:

Found it for sale here: http://www.unilibro.it/ I was curious and ordered it. Everywhere else it was either sold out or no longer available. I wonder if it'll ever arrive!

Sally, you are an ANGEL - thank you for looking, wow! So helpful. I'll make sure to report back here if I find it, too. By the way, my friend is in Monza.

P.S: TC-on-LC, it took me 5 months back in mid to late 2001, and I've been maintaining since.

Thank you again, Sally!!


Edited to add: This link looks promising - fingers crossed!

You're very welcome Sheila. Actually, it's interesting for me too as Italians often ask me about my way of eating. Nice to be able to point them in the direction of this book if it turns out to be a good translation. I imagine it'll be the 2002 edition translated as it said it was his completely revised edition... and published in Italian in 2004.
I'll post a review here, after it arrives.
