The New Atkins Made Easy: A Faster, Simpler Way To Shed Weight and Feel Great

Atkins nutritionist Heimowitz's (New Atkins for a New You Cookbook) work makes it easier for people to understand and follow the popular low-carb diet and eating plan. After explaining how Atkins works, the author discusses the four phases of the diet, beginning with the Kick-Start stage, which severely limits carbohydrate intake, then gradually moving on to increased carbohydrate intake by adding foods back into the diet as weight loss progresses. Each section covers one phase and contains lists of acceptable foods, sample menus (one set using foods from the Atkins product line, another without Atkins products), grocery shopping lists, frequently asked questions, and success stories. Three dozen recipes, including breakfasts, dinners, sauces, and snacks are featured, and most can be made in less than 20 minutes with supermarket ingredients. Readers will also find tips on adhering to the diet while traveling and dining out.
