The Atkins Diet Is Dead

Is is great to see that the Atkins Diet is finally dying. Too many times I've argued with people over this topic. It might sound funny but many people would rather believe Jennifer Aniston than a guy with a degree in Exercise Science when it comes to weight loss.
It's certainly not hard to understand why it was popular. I mean, what other diet would let you eat as much fat, meat, and alcohol as you like. Yes, you have to go through the basic detox at the start but in the end, this is what they offer.
But the health problems related to this are phenominal. Not only will you put the weight back on when you come off the diet but your liver and kidneys would have taken a pounding!
Childhood obesity is a huge issue at the moment and its only going to get worse if we don't start removing all traces of these fad diets and start being sensible about our eating!
Anyway, its sounds as though people are smartening up.
