Answer 3

Now you DO realize that the Atkins diet is a VERY unhealthy diet don't you?
You could ask Dr. Atkins himself but unfortunately, he DIED because he followed his own diet.
The atkins diet forces ketosis on the body (the same thing that happens when one is starving. Humans need carbohydrates, when we lose them, our bodies are forced to rely on stored bodyfat in order to replenish our energy stores) and that is NOT a heathly situation.
Here's an astounding diet that actually works. Want to hear it?
It's called "eat less and exercise".
That's it.
