I did the Atkins diet a couple of times and lost some weight every time I did it. However, the last time I did it I had to get some blood work done and the results scared the crap out of me. My cholesterol level shot up until it was way above the dangerous level. The second I began eating normally again my level came back down to where it should have been. It does make sense that eating those kinds of high fat foods will impact your cardiovascular system and I read that the main probl;em occurs when you bring in only a slight amount of carbs. The dramatic impact that it will have only your liver is also obvious because of the high amounts of protein you take in. All in all, the absence of any long term studies should be enough to deter anyone from this diet.
