ATKINS DIET - when appearances deceive

All the dieter on the Atkins Diet has to do is eliminate carbohydrates and he will lose weight, and if this sounds too good to be true, you are not alone in your hesitation as an increasing number of nutritionists and doctors are warning that diets that eliminate carbohydrates in favor of protein and fat are not effective and may be dangerous to one's health. Dr. Robert C. Atkins first published his theories on weight loss in 1972 in Dr. Atkins' Diet Revolution, and the diet began to catch on twenty years later after the publication of his New Diet Revolution.

Amongst others, the primary health risk of the Atkins' Diet is dehydration, as after carbohydrates are significantly reduced, ketosis begins and the dieter initially looses liver glycogen.

The diet advocates meats, cheeses and other fatty foods and eliminates fruits and vegetables due to the high carbohydrate content, so many have realised that it is unhealthy and could cause more harm than good. Herbalife, on the other hand realises the importance of fruits and vegetables, and all their products have a well balanced amount of vitamins and minerals found in these essential nutrients and have been tried and tested by scientists and nutritionists.

Because of the types of foods allowed on the Atkins Diet, it appeals to many people - eggs, steak, cream and butter are allowed; some of the foods eliminated in most other diets. Most strange when you think that a common cause of death in this country is heart disease; while obesity is a factor too, as well as the high cholesterol levels. The Atkins Diet doesn't point out the potential risks for an increase in cholesterol. Another thing, there is no mention of exercise anywhere in the diet plan.

All diets work in one way or the other - some, like Herbalife, do it in a healthy way while others such as the Atkins diet don't, its just as simple as that. Click here to learn more about a healthy diet: http://www.shapelife.co.za/
