I have read a few things about Atkins some of which say it is the best diet out there and others which say it is unhealthy.
Wanted to hear from new and experienced Atkins dieters on their opinions.
I am on it so I guess I must think it is safe. After all it is only mainly white proceeding food I am missing out on anyway!

Atkins is like any diet / lifestyle - - it ' s safety is an alone thing. For me, removing carbs from my diet was the best thing I ' ve done in my life. The way I eat makes me feel better about myself and healthier in general than I have ever felt. That does not mean it will do the same for every person.

Is it safe?
We do know that being overweight will eventually kill many of us: diabetes, heart attack, high cholesterol / blood pressure, stroke - etc... People who lose weight, including people on Atkins, have lesser chance of all those things.
I would rather prevent the evil I do know than worry about a potential evil I don ' t. Of the people I saw daily in the hospital, at least 65 to 75 % of them had the ailments listed above. I swore to myself that would not be me, and Atkins is getting me there. If it allows you to lose weight, move around more easily and most especially feel good about yourself, that ' s gotta be worth something.10 октября 2008 г.
