There are lots of sites talking about how good the Atkins diet is for you. I'd like a list of 3-5 comprehensive web sites that demonstrate that the Atkins diet is, in fact, unhealthy and dangerous. (By comprehensive, I mean more than a couple of web pages.) |

You should know that a recent study by the Harvard Medical School demonstrated that low-carbohydrate diets like Atkins are very effective and, when the patient is managed by a physician (mostly lipid studies and kidney function tests) are quite safe. They also showed that not every calorie taken in is the same and that low-carb dieters can, on an annual basis absorb about 27,000 more calories than traditional dieters, WITHOUT weight gain. In fact the weight lost on Atkins-type diets improves health more than the added fats and high protein detract from it. Be aware that medical doctors have been taught for decades of the dangers of high fat diets, even as America has been getting more obese on so-called "healthy" diets. Traditional wisdom is often proved wrong over time (the flat earth, Newtonian physics, etc.) Look at all sides of the issue before you commit. |
