Low-fat Atkins
This is an older book...and it shows. Basically it advocates a very low-carbohydrate, very low-fat, and very low-calorie diet. The worst thing is that the authors recommend this approach for the duration of weight loss. The meal plans allow for only one or two servings of vegetables a day and an amount of protein that will lead to muscle wasting. One can only shudder to think what kind of a sluggish metabolism will be developed by consuming just 650 calories a day.This is one of those books which should be quietly retired to an "out of print" status.
