Atkins Weight Loss Diet UK
An estimated three million people in the

intake of carbohydrates and an increase intake of protein, was tried by
7 percent of men and 10 percent of women, according to an ITV weight loss
poll.
Atkins Weight Loss Diet - Long Term
Effects
There has been no research into the long-term effects of following the
Atkins Diet - and evidence is scarce about the long-term impact of low
carbohydrate diets in general. The company that promotes the diet plan
insists that it is healthy provided the diet instructions are followed
properly.
Atkins Weight Loss Diet - Lose Weight
The weight loss poll found that only one in a hundred of those actually
using the Atkins diet to lose weight were convinced by such warnings.
The public's experience is that Atkins is more effective than conventional
diets in helping people to lose weight but causes more side effects.
Calorie Controlled Diet
However some nutritionists say that the best way to lose weight is by
a combination of a calorie controlled diet, which contains a balance of
all the major food groups, and regular exercise. Approximately two-fifths
of the population is currently on a weight loss diet - and 58 percent
have tried to diet in the past five years.
