1. THE FOUR TRUTHS OF THE ATKINS DIET
The Atkins diet allows unlimited fat, such as butter and meat, fish, eggs and dairy products.
However, it excludes sugar: sugary products, but also carbohydrates like bread, pasta, rice
and starchy. Vegetables and especially fruit are allowed only in very small quantities. The
dramatic weight loss, both in importance by their speed, were recorded.
But as attractive as it may seem, the Atkins diet is not recommended, because in total
contradiction to all official recommendations for a healthy diet.
1) Water Loss
If the early loss diet weight is spectacular, it corresponds largely to loss of water, not fat.
Indeed, restricting carbohydrates (sugars), pushes the body to draw energy (glucose) in
glycogen stores. Or glycogen being related to water, its use is associated with water loss.
2) Effect dangerous appetite suppressant
When glycogen stores are depleted, the body finally attacks the fat to produce energy. But
again, in the absence of carbohydrate, fat breakdown is accompanied by a production of
ketone bodies. In excess, they induce nausea and fatigue. At the same time, they help to
inhibit appetite. Thus even if the followers of this diet are allowed to eat as certain foods
they consume the final few calories.
3) Health manhandled
High in fat, particularly saturated fat, the Atkins diet may harm the cardiovascular health.
Rich in protein, the kidneys are heavily used to treat and eliminate protein waste. Poor
grain, vegetables and fruits, vitamins contributions, antioxidants and fiber may be
insufficient, while these elements play a protective role against certain diseases (cancer,
cardiovascular diseases ??).
4) No long-term effect
Recall that the goal of the scheme is to lose weight permanently and the essential condition
for success is the observance. Certainly for six months, the Atkins diet can lose weight faster
than a poor traditional diet limited fat and calories. But beyond that, this advantage
disappears gradually, and many other regimes then become more efficient over the long
term. Then, the adherence Atkins program is tedious and boring, mainly because of the lack
of choice in licensed food. And that's why people eat less and often drop out.

2. Boring, difficult to maintain, no loss of long-term dramatic weight and health hazard, the
Atkins diet is not recommended.
