The first book published after the passing of Dr.
Robert Atkins, The Atkins Essentials by Atkins Nutritionals, Inc.
(Avon Books, 2004) was developed to provide a handy and easy-to-understand overview of the tremendously popular Atkins Nutritional Plan.
With large print and a convenient paperback format, it is very portable and easy to read.
The Atkins Essentials provides complete guidelines, meal plans with recipes, and a layman's perspective of all four phases of the Atkins plan.
I have read the Dr.
Atkins' New Diet Revolution several times, and it is pretty heavily laden with medical jargon that tends to make it rather a difficult read at times.
However, The Atkins Essentials simplifies the Plan, covering all the elements needed without the in-depth medical lingo, and addresses 100 of the most asked questions they have received from readers and users.
The back cover claims this book is "Atkins made easier" and I definitely agree.
This book is divided into five easy to read chapters.
"Why Atkins?", "How To Do Atkins," "It's All About The Food," "Beyond Induction" and "Frequently Asked Questions.
" There are also two weeks of menus and classic Atkins recipes to provide all the information needed to begin and successfully complete the two-week Induction period for starting the Atkins Plan.
For those who are not familiar with the real details of the Atkins Plan, I highly recommend this book.
It will answer the questions that the media, and other misinformed yet well-meaning people, unknowingly generate.
If you are an Atkins follower, you may want to pick this book up or borrow a friend's copy, because it helps to make sense of some of the more technical aspects of the Plan.
