grumpy, I've heard that that's actually common. But it isn't sustainable. At best, the Atkins diet works as a short-term strategy (a few months at most). Eating like that (especially no carbs) is a recipe for disaster down the road. The body isn't meant to work that way for long. We are not carnivores.
Those on long-term low-carb diets should be prepared for problems with the heart, the kidneys, and constipation.
There are far better ways to lose weight.
Are they even controlling calories, or are they looking at protein and fat as an open ticket?
