There are a lot of trial that dispute each other in regards to this diet. The vast majority of physicians, athletes and nutritionists still do not recommend the Atkins diet as a viable weight loss method. The other thing to remember is that there are huge commercial interests attached to many of these physicians who have their own publications and programs in the works and as such are not always objective.

Is it not normal for people to slag off a good idea that is not their own. Yes there are people who have had problems with the Atkins diet as there are even more who have had success and swear by it. It is in actual fact not a diet but a life style change which cuts out most of the processed foods that have become part and parcel of our daily lives. Any diet is in actual fact bad for you as they deprive you of some sources of nutrition, hoever if you look at the food intake of Atkins, the carbs you have cut out are subsidized by natural carbs in other food stuffs...but different stokes for different folks...personally I am always wary of any product or philosophy that gets marketed by slagging off something else on the market.
