I have the older edition of Dr. Atkins Diet Revolution, in paperback. The

stuff about having the sticks be dark purple is on page 130; the stuff about

acidosis is on page 12.

Yes, he says ketosis causes the bad breath, NOT acidosis.

I found a got a lot more out of the book the second and third time around.

Hi Sue,

I don't know how much detail you want so forgive me if I get carried away.

I'm way to fat for my own good. I was always a big girl, it never really

bothered me but recently I've been feeling fat. I know it sounds crazy. In

May I started the weight watchers 123 thing-it took me 2 months to lose 16

pounds. Which is great if you have a small amount to lose. I need to lose

alot more than that and I was very discouraged. I heard alot about Atkins

and even read the book. I decided to commit to the two week induction. I

lost 8 pounds in two weeks and decided to stick it out for another week. I

lost 10 pounds the third week. I still can't believe how easy this woe is.

I've been hitting the net looking for tips and recipes and fell upon this

list. I've heard alll the bad things ppl say about this diet (my own dr.

wants me to stop) but I can't see how it can be harmful. I was 320 when I

started Atkins and am now 302. I would love to be 180. I don't know if you

need anymore info, please let me know. I'm fairly new to the net and hope I

posted this correctly, I'm sorry if I didn't. Anywho--I look forward to

hearing from this group.

Hi, I'm on a couple of other lists as well. I have been on Atkins for about

a year. I started at 425, am now 330 and have been stalled there for a few

months. I'm a 38- year old biochemist, I live alone except for a great dog.
