Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution

 

Con Review 2: The following review was submitted by a former visitor to chasefreedom.com:

The Atkins Diet, along with other low carbohydrate diets, signals an alarming and growing trend in the weight loss industry. The effectiveness of the diet seems remarkable in the short-term, as long as the dieter continues consuming very low levels of carbohydrates. Positive reviews have spread like wildfire due to the success longtime overweight people have found immediately, with much lower levels of hunger and lifestyle change. There is an enormous and growing number of people who have declared the Atkins Diet, the ultimate miracle diet.

As long as you stay on the program, you will lose weight and keep it off. But if you reach your goal weight, whatever it might be, and decide you miss spaghetti or pizza or bread and decide to go back to high carbohydrate, balanced nutrition, most people will gain the weight back.

The truth behind this seeming contradiction lies in how the Atkins (Adkins)Diet and other low carbohydrate diets effect your system. They cause a condition called ketosis, which is a dehydration of your blood supply. As is advertised, "The weight will just melt away." But that is what happens when you put an ice cube in the hot sun.

Once it is melted, it is gone, in the same manner your health will be. Low carbohydrate diets cause abnormally high levels of cholesterol, blood pressure, and digestive problems. Long term adherence to such a diet significantly increases your risk for kidney failure, heart disease and cancer.
