Robert Coleman Atkins, MD was an American physician and cardiologist, best known for the Atkins Nutritional Approach (or "Atkins Diet"), a popular but controversial way of dieting that entails eating low-carbohydrate and high-protein foods, in addition to leaf vegetables and dietary supplements.
This is a well illustrated cookbook for the Atkins Diet. I am somewhat of a geek regarding cookbooks (French, Lebanese, Cajun, Vietnamese and Moroccan), but I found this helpful in my quest to reduce carbs.
This is really effective in losing THE dreaded weight coupled with exercise! The recipes are delectable and rich. The Manhattan-Style Creamed Spinach and the Prosciutto Pillows Stuffed with Goat's Cheese are the family favourites.
