hi heather, i couldn't reply back so im posting a responce. atkins realy is not bad for you. just take the time to read the whole book and it has a lot of good and information that makes sense. stop falling into all of these rumors on the news, magazines, etc.....it does a lot of good things for your health like lowering your cholesteral (spelling) and triglicerides ( spelling) so make sure to research the facts before making an acusation. i did atkins and it worked really well for me, not just the weight loss but health wise i felt a lot better. atkins IS good

and, why would someone want to resrict what the basics of life are? carbs=glucose glucose=energy for organs.

i have done reaserch. ketosis, an affect of the diet, can be FATAL. so, dont try to act oversmart in front of me. because when someone says hoarding on meat and cheese and eggs is fine, and then saying you can have any fruit for 2 weeks, and you have to restrict your vegetables, you know something is wrong.

k first of all- the whole kidney problem rarely happens to anybody. i have done tons of research on this and there are very very few cases where where anyone had kidney failure etc.... if you did atkins you would know that you become a lot healthier, even 99% of doctors agree that atkins is good. and you don't have to get this big attitude with me- im just pointing out the facts. my mom is a nurse and says that atkins is great and plenty of doctors agree with her. so just do some research before you automatically conclude that atkins is unhealthy!!!!!11

atkins is not healthy. you read the atkins diet book for christ sake. what do you expect them to tell you, this diet can cause exxes ketones to flow in your bloodstream, causinging liver problems, not to mention doing a fair bit of kidney damage, with your kidney strying to rid themseves of exess ketones?
