Atkins for Dieting
Most people around the world now have heard of the Atkins diet. It has been one of the most highly touted and highly controversial diets of our time. Those who love it have nothing but great things to say about it but those who are critical are not shy about their opposition either. The largest criticism when it comes to the Atkins or low carb diet would be the near absence of whole grains, which are considered the cornerstone to a healthy diet by many.
Dieting with the Atkins diet involved eliminating a large degree of carbohydrates from your diet. In the past, there hasn`t been as much of an emphasis on fitness and exercise with the Atkins diet as there seems to be currently. This is good news however as an active fitness regime is as essential to successful weight loss as cutting calories and, in this case, cutting carbohydrates.
