Atkins Diet book from 1972

I was going through my books today to thin them out.
I'm moving in with the DBF soon and due to space at our new place I cannot
take them all. I have a Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution book from 1972 to
give away if anyone is interested and does not mind a wee bit of writing in
the book.

I know it is out of date as far as DANDR goes but it might be of interest to
someone just for the fun of reading. It also has some recipes in it.

I can mail it to whomever wants it, free of charge, at the end of this
month.
Email me and let me know. I thought I would ask here first before hitting
the Freecycle groups.

-off to eBay, or Amazon

People buy them.

I have a new/recent Atkins book for only $3.50 with the carb pocket guide,
its been sitting on half.com for sale forever.

I've seen the new ones go for 1 cent plus shipping through Amazon vendors.
Sometimes people will pay a premium to get the original 70's version of the
diet.

Money isn't *everything* to everyone.

Give it to someone... there are so many millions out there, that it has
no real value.

I agree. I've given away several copies on various editions over
the years.

I disagree. If you follow the directions as given in the book and use
today's
counting methods, the food isn't any different from what was suggested
right up until the point fiber deduction for net carbs was added to the
plan.
Only the first weeks is any lower than regular Induction. The biggest
change between 1972 and 2002 is how the count was done. In 1972
several low carb veggies were counted as zero and so were items with
small counts like eggs and cheese. In the end the count using the 1972
method runs around 15 lower than today and the schedule of carb quotas
in the 1972 edition reflects that.

Each edition has its own advantages and disadvantages. All are poorly
written enough to have several confusing parts, yet the confusing parts
are different in each book. Reading the same part in a different
edition
can remove the confusion. For example in 1972 Dr A was clear that
CCL was determined by the ketosis. In ketosis below CCLL, out of
ketosis above CCL. All later editions it appears that Dr A isn't able
to
tell the different between ketosis and loss so it takes the 1972
edition
to explain why he makes that mistake from 1993 on. There are several
such reasons why it's a great idea to have more than one edition to
ompare against.

I wasn't talking about the content, but the value of the book itself on
the open market. I bought mine almost 8 years ago for .50 in a used
bookstore.

The value of Jaime's book is a moot point in this case -- Jaime wasn't
here to tell us she has a book to give away -- she was here to tell us
(and possibly her low-carbing ex-boyfriend who may or may not be lurking
here) that she has a NEW dear boyfriend and that they are about to move
in together. She may very well have a 1972 Atkins book to give away,
but I seriously doubt that it was the main purpose of the post.

rolls eyes

Give me a *break*.

You are entirely *WRONG*. I *am* here to give away that book to anyone who
might be interested in it.

Would you care to see photographs of the book in question?

(BTW if I wanted to tell whats-his-face *anything* all I need to do is pick
up the telephone and call him, which I *don't* do for the simple fact that
why should I bother with a guy who treated me like *crap* in an emotionally
abusive way since the very beginning. I just didn't see it back then. Love
*is* blind after all but fortunately THAT relationship has taught me to
watch for certain *signs* to be wary of. Go read his 'The RCH explained'
thread in rec.crafts.metalworking and tell me if that was the most
*inappropriate* thing you could do at the start of a new relationship. No
*normal* guy would do that.)
