Weak points of the Atkins Diet

The Atkins diet has been very criticized by doctors due to the following fact:

1. Saturated fat and proteins with high cholesterol are bad for health (cancer, uric acid, cholesterol in arteries).

2. Due to eating very few carbohydrates, the body search for energy in the fat, but also in the muscles, provoking a muscular wear and fatigues.

3. The absence of fruits and the limited contribution of vegetables can provoke a dangerous lack of vitamins and minerals.

4. The lack of fiber causes problems of constipation.

Conclusions on the Atkins Diet

The Atkins diet must be followed not more than 30 days. You must take care with this diet, because it contains so low carbohydrates that badly breath can be provoked.

According to the Wall Street Journal, the own Dr. Atkins had a health history of heart attack, cardiac insufficiency and hypertension, and was obese when he died at 72 years old, due to a injury in the head because he slipped. The defenders of the diet indicated that the Dr. Atkins health problems didn't have connection with the diet that he had followed.
