The Atkins diet is the most popular of the high-protein diets,
partially because Atkins claims that his diet lowers cholesterol and
lowers heart disease risk.

"You want my response to Atkins saying that his diet can lower your
cholesterol and do all sorts of good things for your heart," asks
Judith Stern, professor of nutrition and internal medicine at the
University of California at Davis. "You know what my response is?
Bull----!"

Fortunately, there are far healthier ways to lose weight. People who
eat plant-based diets centered on whole grains, vegetables, fruits,
nuts, seeds and legumes tend to be dramatically slimmer than those
whose diets incorporate significant amounts of animal products. And,
as the American Heart Association has often noted, they also have far
lower rates of heart disease.

Thanks for asking.

Atkins isn't claiming anything. He's dead.

I think the Atkins diet is dangerous, if only for the high saturated fat
content of it.

The Truth is, You wanna lose weight there's no easy way, I've lost 98 pounds
over the past year, and I did it simply by eating better and exercising
alot. It was harder than atkins but it'll be more worth it in the end. Fad
diets are just fads, A regular diet and exercise routine is the safest most
reliable way, It just takes longer.
