atkins books

[sherice]

I just bought some atkins books off ebay, my friend let me borrow her new diet revolution book in the meantime. her cover was red and the book is the 2002 one. Well I just got mine and its yellow ad says the new diet revolution but the dat is 1992? Is this like the other one i read?

I know that changes were made with each edition of the book, and the 2002 version is the most accurate and best to follow. Unfortunately, I don't know WHAT changes were made in each version...so I can't tell you what's different about each edition.

We use the 2002 edition here because it is more up-to-date than the 1992 or 1972 versions. Dr. Atkins made significant changes in the 35 years he had his Diet.

So check the copy right dates, located with the other publishing information in the book.

thanks...i'm on owl rung 3/moving to 4 so i have the jist of it and i read the latest one so...i think i am going to use it more as a reference...

For OWL and Pre-Maintenance phases, the books prior to 2002 are utterly useless. Dr. Atkins put more "how to do" information for these phases (and Maintenance phase) in the 2002 book.

And after 2002, and his death, Atkins Nutritional Inc. kind of took the book and added some lovely advice on how to use their products....yuck! It'sd a great marketing tool for them I guess...

I think in the older book there wasn't a limit placed on cheese. Also I do not believe exercise was a "must". Can't remember what other changes.
