Dr. Atkins endured ridicule since the 70's,
when he first published Dr. Atkins Diet Revolution. This lone cardiologist
stood up against the medical establishment by warning us of the dangers
of sugar and carbs. He was called unflattering names by his peers and
brought up before a senate committee, but nothing deterred him.
Atkins is an amazing diet where you will never
go hungry again yet still lose weight. This is not a gimmick, it has
been around for decades now. Most people will lose 10-30 pounds in the
first month! How do they do it? Eat all of the meat, cheese, eggs, fats
(like butter and oils) as you like. No calorie counting.
So what is the trick? What's the secret behind
this diet that allows you to eat all these great foods? Eliminate carbohydrates
from your diet. The amazing thing is that you will feel better mentally
and physically while doing this diet. You will find that your cravings
for foods will go away and comfort foods are no longer necessary.
The "new" Atkins plan (which is actually a resurfacing
of his book "Dr. Atkins Diet Revolution" published in the 70's) advocates
a high protein, high fat diet with a significant restriction of dietary
carbohydrate. Since the Atkins regimen contradicts the overwhelming
majority of research on how to healthily lose and maintain weight, most
public health professionals and organizations strongly disapprove of
this diet.
