Hi Nakkas - Welcome - if you read up on the information here there is no need to buy a book - Low Carb Diets: Everything you need to know to get you started you may have already read this

Yes I quite like the Atkins book, I used to always recommend the 2002 DANDR (Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution) as the ones since Dr Atkins died were very frankenfood/product focused then came one called New Atkins, New You which I quite liked, there's a photo of what it looks like here: Atkins Diet - An Introduction to Low Carb

We also have our induction page which you can use to do induction whilst waiting: Atkins Induction: Phase 1

There's also this page that I put together recently: Low Carb Diets: Everything you need to know to get you started

That should be enough to get started, oh there's also an older recipe book if you can find it: the illustrated Atkins New Diet Cookbook: 'Must Have' Low Carb Recipe Books it has recipes, menus, how to do the diet etc

Oopsie rolls?

Yes what ones do you mean ?

Hi Nakkas,

A book I found easy to follow is 'Low carb made easy' by John Ratcliff. It's a good stating point. Readily available on the net, new, or second hand for a good price. There are some yummy recipes in the book too.

I like it because it explaines the effects of sugar (carbs) on people with or without diabetes. He also mentions Syndrome X which is my demon. The science written in his words is very simple to comprehend.

Having said all that, this site is a wealth of information!!!

I found the original Atkins book very easy to read and follow.
