I have a copy of the 2002 Diet Revolution, however I also purchased The Atkins Essentials (2004) marketed here as Atkins Made Easy to see if there's been any updates. |
The reason we use 2002 New Diet Revolution is that is is the last book written while Atkins was still around. He had a tragic fall in 2003 and passed away. There is a company the Atkins Nutritional. It has the rigt to the name Atkins but it has chosen to modify aspects of the diet. Here at ADBB we are sticking with the original.

Yes the company has been pushing bars and shakes and products. That is how they make their living. But as we have pointed out here, on induction these products are not really legal as they contain ingredients Atkins told us to avoid

Yes you got it.
