I've never done the Atkins Diet, though a neighbor did, while I was doing 40-30-30.  She ended up taking it to extremes for a couple years, and messing up her metabolism for the rest of her life. While I had good success with the 40-30-30 diet, my husband hated the limitations on all the foods he liked.  He couldn't stick it, though he tried, valiantly.  He found a book on the Paleo Diet and went wild: bacon and fried apples for breakfast, fried chicken (without breading) for lunch, shrimp and greens for supper.  He was one happy dieter.  Until the limits on carbs had him sneaking bags of chips.  Big ones!This book is more my style.  There's more variety in the recipes.  It's well presented.  And while I don't think paleo is for me, entirely, it may be for you. If not, there are still some interesting recipes to try.  This is one of the best books on paleo cooking I've seen. It assumes you want to try the diet, but does not preach about it.  It also caters to Americans' yen for variety.  We have a variety of foods available.  Why not make that work?
