article analyze Atkins diet and show why this diet is dangerous for health.
Here is a quote:
"High protein diets, often marketed as low carb or low carbohydrate diets, are
in vogue today and are heavily promoted. Unfortunately, they are also high in
fat and dangerous. The popularity of the Atkins diet plan and other high protein
diet books is evidence that people are looking for a quick, effortless way to
lose weight without having to curtail their dangerous love affair with rich,
unhealthful foods.
People are desperate to lose weight and these high protein diet books preach
what people want to hear: you can eat lots of cholesterol and saturated fat and
still lose weight. This romance can lead to tragic consequences, with some
people literally dying to lose weight."
