The run-down on Atkins diet

The Atkins diet is based on the theory that your body can lose weight better by reducing carbohydrates than by reducing fat.

A typical Atkins diet is rich in meat, chicken, sausages, bacon, turkey, oils, seafood, cheese, eggs, etc, etc. In short, unlimited quantities of food that your doctor told you to go easy on! Already smacking your lips? Well, just hold on. The bad news is you have to cut down on high carbohydrate foods like potatoes, pasta, bread etc.

The Atkins diet has got some real flak in the past. There does not seem to be a single major medical or science institution in the world that supports or recommends the Atkins diet.

Plainly, many see it as dangerous to health. But there are others who swear by it. So, the final verdict? You decide. Don’t say I didn’t warn you though! I would not go anywhere near it!
