the rediculous amount of red meat in the diet is high in saturated fat and cholesterol.

really bad for your heart

my dad isnt exactly on the atkins diet, but hes on a high fat low carb diet. over like 10 years he's lost 20 pounds, his cholestoral is healthy, and he said hes never felt this good ever. and when i say high  fat i dont mean he goes to mc donalds and shit. a high fat diet can cure diabetes. whenever you ingest carbs, you raise your blood sugar level, which causes your pancreas to make more insulin and you're overworking your pancreas. by eating high fat and meat, your pancreas isnt working as much because your body absorbs all the nutrients and you dont shit everything out like with most carbs.

the thing is, once people see high fat they think of mc donalds high fat. thats wrong. basically you have to avoid artificial fats and go all natural. like eating lots of eggs, or frying stuff up in pig lard and butter (not margarine).

first of all losing 30 pounds in a week is unhuman, and not healthy at all. hes not on a diet to lose weight, its more like a lifestyle for the rest of his life. he never wanted to lose weight, he just wanted to be healthier

I had a teacher in 8th grade go on it. He lost like 60 pounds over the course of the year. It works, but you can easily tell what bad things went wrong. Since he's only eating meat and no carbs (read sugar) he went through crazy mood swings. The nicest guy one minute, a dick the next. Also he was always tired. But the bad thing about this diet is most people gain the weight back once they get off of it because they go right back to eating the bad shit they did before. But I guess that's true with every diet.

you should probably take into consideration that the guy who invented the diet died of heart failure... I'll pass thanks.

Nothing beats a healthy well rounded diet and lots of exercise. You can't live the atkins way your whole life, its boring.

my mom has been on it for like 4 years now. she was really strict with it at first and lost like 15 lbs. pretty quick but she kinda "cheated" for a while and didn't lose any or gain any. now she has to be more strict again with carbs and sugars cause she has diabetes...i don't think it's good for you really but oh well...

Your stomach is only about the size of an orange. If you eat alot in one sitting it will stretch and you will want to eat more. So only eat on small plates and eat until you are satisfied. Work on from there. Oh and you should really only eat carbs when you are active in sports. Plus gluten is really bad for you.
