I would put in more information about stalls and I would take out the majority of *incredible* weight loss examples and put in some more realistic examples. I think the book sets expectations for very fast weight loss that aren't met by most people and that causes a LOT of frustration.

I would also want the writing team to look to boards like this (or focus groups of experienced Atkineers) to find issues that were confusing, not clear, etc. and clarify them in the next book.

A writer is only as good as his editor! Dr Atkins was brilliant but he needed a better editor.

I would like to see some of the contradictions that exist in the book cleared up. Especially between allowable foods at different stages and recipes for those stages which contain disallowed foods.
