In <I>In Atkins for Life</I>, he continues his decades-long crusade against low-fat eating. Atkins argues that low-fat meals are high-carbohydrate missiles, causing the body to produce excess insulin, which then produces fat, slows down metabolism, and tips the scale. Instead, he urges readers to stop counting calories and fat grams and start counting carbs to rev up their metabolism and burn fat as an energy source. The question of whether "ketosis," the fat meltdown he advocates, is healthy or harmful is a central question of this sequel to the bestselling <I>Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution</I>. Packed with recipes, menus, carbohydrate counters, and strategies for staying with the plan, this book is less clear than its predecessor. It veers back and forth between how to begin and how to maintain "a controlled carbohydrate lifestyle." It is also more promotional, with photos of satisfied slim folks and pitches for the branded Atkins products. Still, with its pages of testimonials and studies about weight loss, lowered cholesterol, and increased energy, it is hard to argue with Atkins's results. He puts his proof in the pudding. <I>--Barbara Mackoff</I> 807563 1 2003 Atkins for Life: The Complete Controlled Carb Program for Permanent Weight Loss and Good Health total:39|5:6|4:7|3:18|2:4|1:4| 39 124 71 8 0 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Fri Feb 13 00:31:36 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 13 00:36:53 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Fri Jun 20 00:00:00 -0700 2003 Sat May 24 21:51:39 -0700 2008 Sat May 24 21:54:06 -0700 2008 more...]]> 5 1 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Tue Mar 25 09:59:59 -0700 2008 Tue Mar 25 10:04:50 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2002 Sun Jun 22 08:01:00 -0700 2008 Sun Jun 22 08:02:52 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Wed Jun 13 19:01:01 -0700 2007 Wed Jun 13 19:03:15 -0700 2007 3 0 false false Wed Jan 30 18:50:28 -0800 2008 Wed Jan 30 18:50:58 -0800 2008 1 0 false false Sun Aug 24 12:27:47 -0700 2008 Sun Aug 24 12:28:16 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Tue May 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sat Jan 19 14:30:09 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 19 14:30:48 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Thu Nov 19 15:31:22 -0800 2009 Thu Nov 19 15:31:22 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Sun Nov 08 11:44:43 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 08 11:44:43 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Mon Nov 02 01:56:04 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 02 01:56:04 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sun Oct 04 16:18:28 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 04 16:18:28 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Oct 03 08:14:16 -0700 2009 Sat Oct 03 08:14:16 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Sep 24 11:10:51 -0700 2009 Thu Sep 24 11:10:51 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sat Aug 22 13:18:32 -0700 2009 Sat Aug 22 13:18:32 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 20 06:55:04 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 20 06:55:08 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon Jul 13 22:43:38 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 13 22:43:38 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat Jul 04 11:46:33 -0700 2009 Sat Jul 04 11:46:37 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Fri Jun 12 05:11:42 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 12 05:12:15 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat May 23 06:44:02 -0700 2009 Sat May 23 06:44:02 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=821741
