There is a lot of controversy about the Atkins diet. Has been since it first surfaced decades ago.
What most worries medical experts are the long term effects it can have on the body.
Also most people are extremely lethargic for a week or so after first starting on this plan, due to the lack of carbohydrates.
Point worth noting. Dr Atkins, (recently deceased) never managed to keep to his ideal weight!
Check out websites that are both for & against the Atkins diet.
Whatever diet plan you decide to follow, make sure you consult your GP first.
