Low carb diets can be dangerous if you have kidney problems or do not drink enough water.

A well balanced diet is better for your body. Cut portions and exercise more.

The most appropriate method of ensuring the success of a low carb diet is to make sure that you are still eating a balanced diet complete with fruits, fats and vegetables.

Answer 4

All diets are dangerous and do not work in the long run. You have to change the way you live: eat smaller portions, exercise, sleep properly, quit smoking. Drink moderately. When you exercise, you increase your metabolism which helps you have better bowel movements that in turn help you lose weight. You should not rush your pottie time.

Not if you're reasonable about it. If you don't eat any vegetables, and constantly overload your body with proteins, then yes it could be dangerous to your kidneys. However, if you consume plenty veggies and drink plenty water, it's a healthy diet. Atkins also recommends cutting out caffeine and cutting down on alcohol consumption, which both effect how you burn calories and fat.
