New to this site + New to Atkins + Kind of lost

[julirama723]

There are different editions of the book, Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution, and usually on the board it's abbreviated as DANDR. Here's what my version looks like:



There are many different book covers, but hopefully this will point you in the right direction.

The others have given great advice so far, so I'll just give you a warm welcome. If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask them!

Hey bbop! Welcome to ADBB! there is a wealth of knowledge about how to successfully reach your weight loss and health goals here, so turn to folks for advice as often as you need it. WTG on chosing Atkins! It is a great plan. Of course you will understand the plan really well when you read the book. So even if you can't find it at a place like Walmart, it is worth hunting it down at a book store, on Ebay or amazon. And f you need a copy and can't find one, send me a pm and I'll mail you a copy. Welcome aboard and keep up the good work.

DANDR 2002 edition is the one you want. It's the last one Dr A wrote in its entirety and is the one this board goes by.
... and thanks for the vote of confidence (re before and after pic) .

Hi again!

I am also going by this book, and I found it helpful, as it explains the idea behind quite well. And this book is making you think more deeply about why you are doing it and how you feel with the diet after one week, two weeks and so on. So it kind of helps you through the kick off…

But I know that everybody on this board is going by DANDR and obviously it will be a smart choice to get a copy of this one aswell.

Have a great day on Atkins!
