Atkins diet

Today I decided to quickly discuss the Atkins Diet. I have known many friends who have tried and had good results with this diet.I have never been tempted because personally I felt that my body wouldn't cope well with the high protein content of the dietsince I already suffered with high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
The Atkins Diet is a high protein, low carbohydrate diet. It promotes using meat, eggs, and cheese while discouraging high carbohydrate-content foods such as bread and rice. If excess carbohydrates are taken in, excess enzymes should be generated to digest it. This may lead to disintegration of pancreatic cells in a long run, which may further lead to diabetes. According to Robert Atkins, on having a low carbohydrate diet, our body will enter into a state of ketosis, in which, instead of carbohydrates, fat is digested to release energy. This reduces the need for more insulin produced by the pancreatic cells and the fat deposits are subsided. Thus, the body weight is reduced to a considerable amount.
The ultimate result of Atkins diet program (other diet programs as well) depends solely on how well the person follows the recommendations.
