Excellent book.  Explained blood sugars in clear terms.  Wish it came in paperback verses online only.  I keep going back and re reading parts to keep myself reminded on how to stay on my low carb diet.

Haven't read it  but plan to - it is a lot to remember...about weight loss, but seems like the information is like The Atkins Diet. A doctor recommended the book.... I just got to read it and do as it says. Fast delivery.

This book helps with ideas to work with Dr. Atkin's diet (which works wonders, by the way!). My personal diet needs are rather restrictive, so I have to work to alter recipes to fit, and finding tasty, useful recipes is difficult.  Dr. Atkins' diet has been the best working and this book really helps with varying meals on that plan.

Of course, you don't have to follow any recipe recipe exactly, and sometimes I just get ideas for different mixtures of spices or flavors or whatever, that I haven't tried before, or I will think of using a different protein, or combination of proteins in the recipe.  But the basic work (approximate amounts and times and temperatures) has been done already in the recipe), and all I have to do is tweak it a little to make it my own. Of course, usually I try it as it is written to see if I like it in the first place, and so far most of them are pretty good as is! Besides, I like the idea that almost all of the recipes are rather quick and straightforward, not elaborate, and you can have a great tasting meal in just a little more time than it would take you to make it out of a box! And you still can lose weight like crazy! Wow!

Before you jump into this kind of diet,you MUST talk to your doctor or dietitians. Because this of and of diet is taking a little amount of proteins and carbohydrates and full eating of high amount of healthy fats foods. You must read the first chapter before you gone strictly on this kind of diet. The author also gives the list of foods that is not include in this diet and lists of foods that includes in this diet. I am into trying of different foods that helps me lose weight and grab this book to get some recipes to feed me that won't gain me weight. The recipes I've tried so far was delicious and healthy. Highly recommended cookbook.

I like this book but it was very similar to the Atkins Diet.  I did like this book because it was very easy to understand the how's and why's of this diet.  I haven't really tried the diet yet so I couldn't tell you if it works.  It did have a lot of interesting information.

I love this easy to read book that is filled with wonderful information for someone just starting out on Atkins. I used this book with great success, and thanks to it, within one month I had lost over 21 lbs. I still turn to this book for guidance as I work to lose those pounds. I have recommended this book to everyone and they have had success as well. I cannot say enough about it!

I am an average stay at home mom who needs to lose about 30-40 lbs.  I recently started the Atkins diet and was immediately fascinated that for the first time in my life, my cravings were under control.  It was amazing.  In the past few weeks I have become somewhat obsessed with the low carb lifestyle.  I was at a large bookstore the other day looking for a low carb cookbook when I stumbled across this book.  I am so glad that I did.  This book explains so much of how low carb works and how it affects our bodies.  The author is a fantastic writer and he does not seem biased when he reviews many of the popular low carb plans.  That is one thing I was worried about and was somewhat skeptical to buy this book for that reason.

My favorite thing about this book is that it helps you pick and choose the best parts of each low carb plan to put together the ultimate plan FOR ME.  I do enjoy the current plan I am on but I love that I can add aspects of other LC plans to my lifestyle.  This book will also help you set yourself up for success.  There are many tips on how to be successful and answers to many questions that you may have regarding low carb eating.  This book is well rounded and covers all of the bases.  Plus you can't beat the low price.

For a  Kindle book this book has a good amount of information in general about the Ketogenic diets.  The included recipes are simple and interesting.  The first ones I have tried are the shakes and all of them are delicious.  This way of eating turns the food pyramid (and this changing low-fat gal) upside down!  My first steps into this different world.

There is no way to make Atkins diet easy.  Low carb is very difficult, especially if you have a lot of weight to lose.  This is a newer version than the original Atkins so it has more choices of things you can eat.  Many new products that are low or no carb have been made available since the original Atkins.  Even Atkins products have expanded to include frozen meals, candies, etc.  Basically this is what is referred to as the "New" Atkins.

This was a really great book for someone starting out on a diet.  This book covers the subject of weaning off of the toxins that the junk food has made you so used to.  I think that's a really great concept to include in a diet book,  and it's not something that you see every day.  It really makes you  sit back and think of exactly how many toxins they may be addicted to and how many of those habits they might need to break. However many bad habits someone maybe carrying around with them, this book really shows you step-by-step how to get rid of them. It seems to be fail proof method of actually breaking those bad habits and then transitioning into a healthy nutrient rich lifestyle is of course the next benefit.

The recipes included in the cook book made me hungry just reading them! After making a few of the recipes I was pleasantly surprised at how easy they were and also felt like I would be able to make them on a daily basis, which is of course the whole point!

One tip for you guys deciding to buy this book is that if you see an ingredient you aren't familiar with, use the Kindle app to search for it on google by tapping and holding the ingredient and highlighting it, you wil then see the options appear and choose Google.  I was able to learn that 1 tsp Arrowroot powder = 1 T flour or 1 1/2 t. cornstarch.  Just be sure to read thoroughly, and understand the benefits of using the listed ingredients. But this is just a suggestion if you're in a pinch.

If you think you've failed on every diet you've ever tried, think again: The diet failed, you didn't! Now it's time to forget all those weight loss cliche's and listen to the truth:

  Skipping breakfast can be healthy

  Cold baths can give you a hot body

  Black coffee helps speed weight loss

  Small, frequent meals can pack on the pounds

  Exercise is about much more than how much and how hard

  Broccoli carbs can be worse than soda carbs

  Juices and smoothies cause overeating

and so much more! Now the answers don't lie within all those BMI charts, and what someone else calls fat, obese or morbidly fat. Now you can decide once and for all to shed all the fat you want, based on what you look like and how you feel, not by some numbers calculation. The book, Six Weeks to OMG by Venice A. Fulton can show you how.

The interesting thing like most diet books is education and knowledge is power. The more you know the easier it is to begin once you gain enough will power to tell yourself you can do this. For me, a chronic breakfast skipper since high school, just reading this chapter alone gave me hope again, that I didn't have to force myself to eat in the morning and there are some amazing health benefits.

I mean if your body is storing fat and you are looking to get rid of it, doesn't it make sense you have to find a way to burn what your body is storing instead of adding to the stock pile? It's like having a car that runs on gas and you have these reserves waiting to be used, but instead of using those reserves, you just keep adding fuel. If you don't use enough fuel in the course of your day it gets added to the stock pile. And the cycle begins all over again. Everytime you eat, your fueling your body and with just a few changes in how you deal with your body for the next 4-6 weeks can give you a loss of up to 20 pounds of body FAT lost, not muscle or water loss.

Want to know the secrets? Then, you'll want to pick this one up today and see just how easy it is!

I received Six Weeks to OMG: Get Skinnier Than All Your Friends by Venice A. Fulton compliments of Grand Central Publishing, a division of Hachette Book Groups for my honest review and I can't wait to begin some of the simple tips this book offers. It truly is an exciting concept to not weight loss, but FAT LOSS and it doesn't require you to purchase anything but the book. I'll let you know how it goes as I begin my adventure, and hoping by the end of the year, I look much different, feel different and have the healthy skin, hair and nails to prove it. I rate this one a 5 out of 5 stars!

I DID buy this book when it first came out! And have been using  this diet ever since! Well okay, sometimes I've fallen off the wagon, be it pushed by sugar cravings or alcohol. BUT, within a short time, I get back on the horse and in no time, back to being in good shape. The thing I find the most disturbing is soooo many articles about these 'Fad' low carb diets. You just want to yell "it's not a dam* fad"!!!

But that is what some would like to characterize it as. You have to wonder about their motivations? They just want to write something (anything)? They are paid by the sugar industry somehow? It's hard to know.

If you want to understand low carb diets, you have to read the book. You have to learn how to determine 'net carbs' from product labels. You have to recognize when some labels make absolutely no sense re their sugar amounts (and to stay away from them). There are so many things (that taste good!) that work on a low carb diet. You have to put the work into it to discover them and cook them.

So join the club! The more of us that demand mfg make things with less carbs (NO ADDED SUGAR!!) the better, it would make our lives easier and vastly more healthy! I'm very happy to now have this book on my kindle. Wouldn't be without a copy, ever.

I'm one week into the diet. I lost one pound the first day (liquid diet) and then 1/2 pound a day for about three days. Sounds great...except on day four I started going back up! At the end of the week, I've lost 2 pounds. Not bad, but I think I would have shed that weight anyway, since I had just returned from a vacation and would have returned to my normal eating pattern. I'll give this one more week to see if I make any further progress.

The book is not a total loss...I am enjoying trying out the new recipes.

Suggestion: buy hard copy if you're going to try this. The book is written in sections (i.e. Menu in one section, recipes in another) and it's difficult to jump back and forth from the menu to the recipe on the Kindle.

This cookbook is good (unrefined) carb rather than low carb so it might have limited application for those on the Atkins diet. But for the rest of us there's lots of healthy recipes, tips on cooking, grocery shopping and dining out, and a good explanation of insulin's role in the body and the concepts of Glycemic Index and Glycemic Load.
  I use recipes from this book and the SUGARBUSTERS Quick and Easy Cookbook. Woodruff, the author of several other cookbooks, covers her bases by making most recipes low-fat as well. There is some use of sugar, honey, fruit juice and the like, so if you're keen on limiting their intake in your diet you could subsitute non-caloric sweeteners, such as NutraSweet for cold foods and Splenda for the cooked dishes. Or you could just cut out the sugar altogether as I did in making the Sourdough French Toast, which with the cinnamon made no difference in the taste, IMO.
  Some of the ingredients listed are a bit esoteric and a few of the recipes may be too fussy for everday cooking. But in general this is a well-rounded cookbook, not a fad diet but a healthy lifestyle...

The New Atkins diet is even better than the 1st - with the addition of 20 net carbs during Induction (1st 2 weeks of the diet) it becomes way more manageable - By adding the ability to eat salad and leafy greens you can live and eat like a normal person and watch the weight literally fall off - I am on week two - 11 lbs down, and I feel great - The method was sound before, but now it is even better. If you've never been on Atkins before the book spells out exactly what happens when getting on the diet. If you've been on Atkins before, most of the book will be old news, but it gives you lists of Ok and not Ok foods along with their carb counts. And now Atkins has gone digital, so you can find out a lot of info through the Atkins website. A truly good diet for people who've tried and failed at everything else.

Pretty simply explanation of what carbs are, how they work in your body, and how a low carb diet can be beneficial. Nice guide if you don't know anything about carbs. I personally appreciate the tips and advice for people watching their carbs and calorie intake. My favorite parts of the book were the tips on how to identify sneaky carbs (those sneaky things!!) as well as a 14 day meal planner. Low carb diets don't have to be as painful and boring as most think, this books gives great insight on that!
