"Offers a great explanation of the fact that Atkins is really a permanent lifestyle... NOT just a diet you do until you reach your goal weight. For those starting out, you really need to read "New Diet Revolution" first... but "Atkins for Life" is great as you prepare to move through the phases."
— Stacie (5 out of 5 stars)

Atkins was also the author of several books that promote nutritional medicine, including Dr. Atkins’ Quick & Easy New Diet Cookbook, Dr. Atkins’ Vita-Nutrient Solution: Nature’s Answer to Drugs, Dr. Atkins’ Age-Defying Diet Revolution, and Atkins for Life.
