Atkins phase?

I myself don’t eat a lot of carbs as my body gets cranky when I do and starts to get a bit fat. I run every day and try to eat low carb - I have pretty much cut out white bread, rice, and pasta. It works for me but I think the craze has just died down a bit like any other diet I guess. People get bored and want to hear something new and different but I think it’s an effective diet if done sensibly and not to the extreme of cutting out ALL carbs. You need a diet that is sustainable over a long period :)

I’m a Diet Aide at a hospital and work with nutrition all the time. This diet is too strict. Carbs can be healthy too. She should chose products with whole grain and for sweet items fruit is best. If you want to lose weight and be healthy it doesn’t make sense to have a diet where you aren’t allowed fruit and certain vegetables but can eat an as much meat, cheese and eggs. In the long run this will give her heart problems.

The reason it doesn’t work, is because you are intentially MALNOURISHING your body. That’s why the weight loss is so severe, and for the most part, only temporary…

You DO know the creator of the ‘Atkins Diet’ is DEAD now, right?
