Why Choose The Atkins Diet?
The diet has many critics, not just because of its calorie-related claims, but because it is high in fat and low in nutritious foods such as fruit and whole grains which should for part of a healthy diet. There is also limited research about how healthy it is in the longer term. Weight can return quite quickly when you stop the diet, again not offering a long term solution to weight loss. Unlike the South Beach diet it has a high drop out rate for the induction phase.
