The Essential Atkins for Life Kit: Tools, Tips, and Techniques for Maintaining a Low Carb Lifestyle, Permanent Weight Loss, and Optimal Health [With 1

this book is more about explaining the diet and teaches you how to be successful. it has recipes in it but this isnt the purpose of this book. if your looking for just a cookbook then find something else. if you want to learn alot about this diet this is a great book

I was on Atkins a few years back and I lost 85 pounds from it. I gained it all back because I didn't go through all the Atkins phases and went right back to my old eating habits. Seeing as South Beach and a few other diets have become more popular for whatever reason, its harder to find Atkins products than it used to be. I'm sure South Beach is nice, but Atkins really helps get the pounds off, builds energy, and it really simple to do. In the beginning meat, veggies and cheese are allowed, as well as butter, oil and spices. You can also use a bit of artificial sweetener(Splenda recommended). So, you can have a cheesecake that tastes like real NY style cheesecake, instead of being on a diet where everything tastes fake and you never feel satisfied. Maintenance allows other kinds of food, but in more moderation, suited to the individual's tolerances. I just bought this kit today and it had everything in it that I expected. Delicious, low carb recipes for when I start maintaining my weight, food planners, carb counters; basically everything I need to keep the weight off once I'm done. Seeing as I got my kit for 99 cents and it's being sold on the marketplace for not much more, there really is no excuse not to buy this. I recommend that every skeptic try Atkins(according to the book) for two weeks, and see if I'm wrong.

This is a very handy kit which allows me to sit the box almost anywhere and use the items I need without taking up much space. It also makes it easy to find the information I much faster.
