Ok you Atkins addicts... I've heard this is one of the best diets. Got some substitute ideas for the fish. Can I just stick with Chicken or red meat?

You definately just stick with Chicken and Red Meat, if you wish. I would add an Omega-3, and Flaxseed oil to yoru diet if you are not going to eat fish, though.

You are talking about Healthy Atkins as opposed to the original Atkins. Does anyone have a book or website with the revised version explained?
I have bought a British book 'Neris and India's Idiot-Proof Diet' which is very much along the Atkins lines. Does anyone know it (to save me buying another book). They, by the way, also have a website slightly along MYO lines, although I find, based on only one visit, much harder to navigate. It's called 'pig to twig'!
http://www.pig2twig.co.uk/. Please don't think I'm trying to sabotage your Atkins initiative. I just thought we might enjoy a forum like this where we can ask lots of advice. The different subjects are at the bottom of the page. Thanks.

As usual, coming in late to a discussion. I am pretty much in "permanent maintenance" mode on a version of Atkins. I never had more than about 5 pounds to lose, so it wasn't too hard. My trouble is, I[m a vegetarian (I'll eat a very little fish here and there when there's simply nothing else on a restaurant menu.) Atkins CAN be done as a vego, but it's harder. But basically, my "simplified version" of the diet is: NO sugar, white flour and rice, potatoes. And regular exercise.

Mr. Jane (who is not a vegetarian---oh HELL no---) has done "strict Atkins" for a couple of weeks in the past year, but didn't lose a pound. He simply ate too much of the "allowed" foods! Sorry, but even if fatty marbled steaks and eggs/bacon are technically permissible on the diet, you still have to put that fork down when you're still a little hungry.

I think I am gonna join you guys. i have already been prepped with the master cleanse.
was eating raw for a few weeks in October.
I actually have lost a few pounds since laying off the wine.
just think pasta, bread,potatoes and any sweet out of your diet. drinking a lot of water also keeps from retaining.
I am not puffy anymore my eyes are clear, I don't feel bloated and tired.
eat loads of greens
watercress, parsley, spinach chinese greens. I am not sure about the bacon, too many chemicals in that stuff.

cooking happy heres the book: "Atkins for life"
and my favorite Atkins book is called Dr Atkins Vita-Nutrient Solution".
most folks don't realize this but his diet wasn't his real passion, he was a nutritionalist
and herbalist WAY before it became super trendy. Dr Atkins is perhaps the most fascinating and misunderstood MD's in history.
My former boss who is now 81 years old has been on the traditional Atkins diet since 1969 (yes...it goes that far back) his blood pressure and cholesterol are considerably better than mine and he never gets sick. this notion that Atkins is some unhealthy temporary weight loss scame is pure BS. What is a scam are the hi-carb cereal based diets that sell you these stryrofoam tasting crackers and other highly processed crap.
ok, class is over.
