Edited sentence: Athletes require carbohydrates as they are easiest for the body to utilize for energy (ATP).Atkins' spurious (not supported by the data) correlative argument against the Atkins Diet itself, by pointing out that this obesity rose in concert not with higher carbs and lower fat, but it HAS risen as low-carb diets were created, and got worse as they got more popular.But the broader consensus of the scientific community also raises serious concerns:.Fats must be beta-oxidized, but this requires extra oxygen, reducing the advantage of a high VO2 Max.However, given other factors, such as an increase in sedentary recreational and work activities over these decades, there is only correlation between this higher-calorie diet and the rise in obesity, but no conclusive, causal relationship between any diet and America's obesity; one can even turn Dr.In addition, Atkins' claims that high carbohydrate diets cause obesity are contradicted by the fact that societies which treat carbohydrates as a staple, in particular countries in East Asia such as Japan, China and Thailand, where rice is consumed often and drinks and snacks are also made from the grain, have remarkably low rates of obesity (Proponents of the Atkins diet often try to counter this argument by saying these Asian people are perhaps born with a unique metabolic system to be able to handle carbohydrates and that their genetic dispositions are different than those of Westerners such as Europeans).It should also be noted that for individuals who participate in sports, this diet is not good.Less oxygen is going into making energy, some is going into a conversion instead.Protein nucleotides can also be used to directly synthesize ATP, but at this stage, the free fats and carbohydrates stored within muscles have been depleted.There is also bad breath and fatigue, which are only the milder symptoms of the purposefully-induced ketosis, yet Atkins accuses other diets of causing fatigue: , , and Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine 68(2001): p.This can result in an athlete "bonking" and suffering from very low performance.Users of the diet must exercise significant caution when manipulating their body's natural metabolic state
