Atkins Book

[Elizellen]

I have just had a quick look at the 1992 version I bought this week (for 10 pence in a charity shop) and it seems as if the foods list and rules are not too different.

However so far I have not seen a mention of 'net carbs' (total carbs minus fiber) in it, so maybe Dr A didnt discover the concept of net carbs till after he published the book.

The main difference apart from that seems to be that there is no structure to OWL (ongoing weight loss) phase and he seems to say you can pick and choose which foods to add in 5 (total) carb increments.

So your book should be fine for induction.

PS I have send you a private message about getting hold of the 2002 edition.

Thank you so much for the response...

i was wondering if the carbohydrate gram counter gives the value 'net carbs' .. and in the induction phase does the three cups of salad vegetables a day include 20 g of net carb or total carb.. please help me out.. guess i'm having trouble understanding the difference between net carb and total carb in terms of the quantity we have to consume...

i'll also read the faq section of OWL to see if i can find out more there..

thank you once again

If this is not an appropriate post, delete it but I have the "Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution 2002" book that I no longer need. I also have his "Gram Counter 2002", "Atkins Essentials 2004", "The Atkins Shopping Guide 2004", "Atkins for Life", and a couple of Dana Carpender's books if anyone is interested. Oh and also The Carbohydrate Addicts Healthy Heart Program 1999.
Maybe a 'good' offer for the whole lot.

For those of you who just can't find the book, I would suggest that you check out all the stickies in the FAQ section and if you have questions ASK.
