Before you post a reply saying that you are overweight or that you want to lose weight, please first check our Weight Calculator . If the calculator says that you are healthy weight, please do not post a message saying that you are overweight or that you want to lose weight. This offends the kids who really are overweight. Thanks a lot. |
Message Replying To From Britt, Age 14 No offense to anyone who uses it, but the Atkin's diet is an unwise choice. It works to get the pounds off quickly, but since it's an all-protein diet, it can only be used temporarily. You can't live on just protein, and actually too much protein can be harmful. So then, once you have lost the weight and stopped doing the Atkin's diet, the weight comes back on quicker than you lost it, because it's such a dramatic change in your body's chemistry. Believe me, I saw it happen to a lot of people in my family. Also, eating lots of fat and protein on the Atkin's diet can raise your cholesterol, which is bad. |
