C. D. C. Atkins Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution

Annotation

This is an updated version of the book I wrote ten years ago to help asmany people as I could to lose weight. I felt certain then-and continueto do so-that the widespread dissemination of misinformation aboutwhat constitutes a healthy diet had caused that epidemic of weight gainin this country. The book made a greater impact than anyone might have predicted. Its sales exceeded ten million copies, and it was the number onesellingdiet and health book in the U.S. for nearly five years. In fact, ithas been the all-time top seller in its field. Certainly of the millions ofpeople who've read it, a large percentage followed its precepts, lostweight, kept it off and decisively improved their health. What you hold in your hands is a thoroughly rewritten version of thatwork. Having listened with care to the people who followed my weightcontrol program, I've clarified and improved the "do-ability" of the practicalchapters of this book. I've added many new case histories and a hordeof new and improved recipes. Finally, I've incorporated information onthe recent upsurge of scientific evidence. We had it right ten years ago,but now we have twice as much research to confirm the nutritional approachchampioned by New Diet Revolution.
