MARCH 26, 2024 DIETS

In the quest for optimal health and rapid weight loss, many turn to trendy diets, often without considering the potential health consequences. I recently red an article that cited the 7 worst diets. I was happy t see that the popular Atkins Diet was not on the list . ( Although Keto Diet similar to the Atkin’s was on the list ) For years Robert Atkin’s Diet- The Atkin’s Diet was criticized by the media. As the former Medical Director of the Atkins Center of Complimentary Medicine, this validates that the diet is not bad. The Atkins Diet told the worst that ‘white carbohydrates ‘ are bad I didn’t agree with Dr Atkins on the amount of fat. I feel the high fat was a bit too much. It seems that some of the diets out since his death in 2003, are deratives of the Atkins Diet. Protein Power and the South Beach diets are close to the Atkin’s with some changes in protein and fat.

There are more than 200 published diets . Some of the diets that were considered bad in this article were The Dukan Diet, The Ketogenc diet,Te Grapefruit Diet, The Raw Food , The HCG and the Cabbage Soup Diet. I want to comment of the Keto Diet

The Ketogenic Diet, commonly known as Keto, is a high-fat, very low-carbohydrate diet that has been adopted widely for weight loss. By drastically reducing carbohydrate intake and replacing it with fat, this diet aims to put the body into a state of ketosis, where it burns fat for energy instead of carbohydrates. While it can lead to short-term weight loss, the long-term health effects are a growing concern. The diet’s high fat content, particularly if saturated fats are consumed in large amounts, can increase the risk of heart disease. This is the ATKINS DIET . It is not a growing concern The Atkin’s Diet has been studied and its long term affects are not of a concern You just have to watch the amount of animal fat. You could replace the animal fat with avocados and nuts The Keto Diet is the Atkin’s Diet Credit should be to Dr Robert Atkins.
