Doctors Report Atkins Diet & South Beach Diet Plans are Unhealthy and Dangerous

Dieters may want to steer clear of the Atkins and South Beach Diet plans. These low carb crazes lead to more health problems than previously thought and should be considered insane according to doctors at the American College of Preventive Medicine.

May 9, 2009 - PRLog -- Doctors went on to say that these diets do not account for the body's energy imbalance (in which more calories are ingested than burned), and have not stood the test of time. The simple fact is that dieters do lose weight at first on these low carb / high fat diets.

However most of that initial weight loss is just water (due to the metabolic process known as ketosis. This is the same condition found in very unhealthy, imbalanced people who have kidney and liver diseases.

Once the body sheds a large amount of water – it begins to burn fat (which is good), but soon afterwards this same ketosis condition needs to burn protein and goes to work on tearing down the body’s muscle tissue, which is actually a very bad thing.

Doctors recognized this occurrence when they began to find a substance known as ketones in the dieter’s urine samples, which is clear evidence of the body breaking down muscle tissue through ketosis.

When too much of the body’s protein is broken down this way dieters will eventually experience severe kidney and liver damage, in addition to an increase risk of stroke and heart attack.

It should be reasonably obvious to most that fads such as Atkins Diet and South Beach Diets have run their due course, and that the apparent weight loss from these diets does not outweigh the dangerous health risks associated with these diets.

Most doctors agree that the safest way of dieting incorporates the time-tested fat reduction methods of the past with innovative but safe rotations of certain foods to maximize the weight loss benefits. You can cut down on some serious high fat foods while enjoying a great tasting meal – and lose weight quickly.
