I can t help but think about all the medical research that supports eating a diet rich in vegetables. Vegetables are extremely protective against cancers. And vegetarians tend to be thinner than the average person. Also, just wiping out beans and grains as if they are somehow unnecessary is also, in my opinion, a mistake. Beans are cancer fighting and balance blood sugar.
Grains provide necessary nutrients and fiber for digestive health.
Dr. Atkins has had some impressive results. I d like to see some extensive follow-up studies on those who have followed his diet for a significant amount of time. Let s look at their medical histories. That would settle the debate over the safety of this diet once and for all. In the meantime, I recommend this diet for those trying to loose at least 50 lbs.
