| Dozens of diets will take your weight off temporarily. But ifyou re in the market for weight loss plus health, I think you shouldgo a step further. Ask yourself stricter and more interesting ques-tions: How many diets will restore that vigor and sense of wellnessI had almostforgotten I could have? How many diets will positivelyreinforce my health, day by day and year by year? I think that s the type of diet you need--an unabashed feel-good diet, a full-energy diet, a lifetime-wellness diet. As an old veteran of the diet wars, I write from a uniqueperspective. People come to me concerned for their health, awarethat I know something about losing weight. But, I believe, they reeven more vividly conscious of the fact that I have a reputationfor helping men and women with serious health disorders. TheAtkins Center for Complementary Medicine is a major outpatientfacility on 55th Street in Manhattan, with a patient populationnearly 10,000 strong. These are patients with diabetes and heartdisease and multiple sclerosis, with arthritis and chronic fatigueand hypertension. Less than 5 % of those patients were interestedprimarily in weight loss when they first knocked at my door. Yet fame and fortune came to me as a master of effectivedieting. It was only after the Atkins diet made me famous thatI moved into my life s work in nutrition medicine, using it to treatserious health problems. Why, then, am I writing another bookon dieting? Dieting is a crucial part of the health care I provide. Unlessyou eat right, you can t be healthy, and if you do eat right, then,generally speaking, you won t be overweight. |
