Who's Atkins?

How is it people just blindly follow these "diet fads" each year? Do you not realize that, sure you may lose weight, but it's not healthy weight loss. Your cholesterol goes through the roof on these moronic food regimes and your energy levels will drop significantly...oh yeah, but you'll be thin. 
Bring on the heart attacks!

Low-Carb Diets Can Cause Bad Breath
THURSDAY, May 13 (HealthDayNews) -- The Atkins diet might chase away more than just unwanted pounds -- it could lead to bad breath that chases away your friends. But there are ways to battle halitosis caused by low-carb dieting, says the Academy of General Dentistry.
Low-carb diets work by getting the body to burn stored fat as fuel rather than carbohydrates. As that fat burns, chemicals known as ketones build up in the body. They are released through the breath and urine, and they can be smelly.
The types of food ingested also play a role, academy spokesman Dr. Bruce DeGinder said in a prepared statement.
"Most cases of bad breath originate from the breakdown of food particles that produce sulfur compounds, and from bacteria on the gums and tongue," DeGinder said. "High protein foods can produce more sulfur compounds, especially overnight on the surface of the tongue when saliva production is diminished."

i am on the south beach diet, and excercise regularly and let me tell you~ a diet done by a HEART doctor, aimed at those with diabetes and such, is very healthy eating approach diet.
that's all it is.
not sure about this atkins diet, won't try it.
but south beach has taught me healthy eating.
and that can't be bad.
i'm not starving, my engery levels are amazing,
i'm feeling better than i have in years....
my doctor says if i continue eating and excercising the way i do i'll live a long a healthy life... it sure has turned my health problems around too.... im getting turned off by high fat/high sugar foods!drinks! less headaches, less everything. including the extra weight i was carrying....

Being thin for the sake of appearance is commonly advertised. Often people try to do it without necessarily concerning themselves with the health damage they are doing.
I did it myself to a certain degree. I did manage to lose close to 60 lbs. I tell you I looked much better and being a size 32 again was pretty nice.
Kidneys didn't much like it though
For those who think dieting (or are just tired of fads being beaten to death)is stupid you might appreciate:

I tried atkins and got severly depressed. Then I read that carbs is what produces seretonin. Started eating carbs again and felt better. If your gonna diet just stick with calorie counting or cut your portions in half.

I was on the atkins diet for several months........and it works.........just don't stay on it for a long period of time.
1st - Its bad for the kidneys
2nd - due to lack of dairy products (milk, yougurt, etc) your body lacks calcium......so it starts to take it from your bones..........you risk the chance of osteoperosis (not sure of spelling)
