Is Atkins diet safe?
A woman at work wants me to go on the Atkins diet (she does it full time) and I said I would try it for two weeks... but is it safe? Ive read stuff of people having heart attacks by doing it, and that it gives you high cholestoral and so on... another of my friends has told me definitely not to do it... I have started going to the gym again, so would Atkins also be bad if I am trying to work out a bit? Always at school and so on we were told carbs were good for you and you should eat those foods and not fats, but on Atkins I am supposed to eat fried breakfast instead of cereal (which I normally have for example)... I'm just not sure. There must be something to it if so many still do it, but is it not dangerous?
