1999 VHS • Atkins' Answer How it Works 60 FPS

About

Atkins' Answer: How It Works is a diet instruction VHS program running approximately 20 minutes and 30 seconds, produced in 1999 and presented by Dr. Robert C. Atkins. The program opens with a disclaimer noting that the content is based on Dr. Atkins' work developed over more than 30 years of medical practice at the Atkins Center in New York, and advises viewers on medications to consult a physician before beginning.

Atkins addresses the viewer directly as a patient and frames the session around personalizing the diet to the individual. He introduces the two-week induction phase, during which carbohydrate intake is reduced to 20 to 30 grams per day from a typical intake he suggests may be 200 grams or more. Viewer testimonials are interspersed, with participants describing rapid early weight loss — one reports losing 25 pounds, another describes losing four and a half inches in six days. Atkins instructs viewers to obtain the basic diet manual, complete a diet questionnaire mirroring what patients fill out at the Atkins Center, and use a carbohydrate counter to tabulate current intake. The program closes with an offer for a free personal progress diary available by calling 1-800-952-7873, with shipping and handling charges applying.
