Why is the Atkins' style diet so unhealthy?

[SimoneHU HealthUnlocked]

I think that the fact that it causes people to cut down the consumption of fruits and vegetables is a important point. A diet rich on fruits and vegetables is proven to prevent diseases and improve health overall, so every fad diet that says the opposite is raising a big red flag!

Healthy eating is good for everyone but it is also quite hard. You have to keep in mind that if you consume greater amount of calories then the requirement of your body then you would be able to store excess amount of energy in fat.

Protein, versus carb. Your body-type, -maintenance, -'accustom' may help a workable decision.

Generally speaking it's too much protein. There is an upper limit of how much protein is healthy but the effects of too much don't show for many years. If you ate an Atkins diet but limited your protein intake you essentially end up with something similar to a paleo or primal diet. If you are looking at Atkins, you should check those out.
