The               Atkins               diet               is               one               of               the               most               enduring               and               widespread               diet               fads               that               has               swept               the               nation.

Unlike               many               others               though,               it               has               gained               a               foothold               and               has               become               entrenched               in               our               culture,               as               witnessed               by               the               proliferation               of               "Low               Carb"               choices               on               menus               and               in               supermarkets.

But               does               it               work?

Over               the               short               and               medium               term               if               followed               stringently,               yes               it               can               produce               weight               loss.

But               before               embarking               on               the               Atkins               diet               you               must               ask               yourself               what               the               long               term               impact               is               on               your               health.

The               Atkins               diet               is               based               on               the               supposition               that               carbohydrates               are               the               cause               of               weight               gain,               and               elimination               (or               extreme               deprivation)               of               carbohydrates               from               your               diet               will               cause               you               to               lose               weight.

Adherents               to               the               diet               eat               a               large               amount               of               meat,               dairy,               and               other               high               fat               yet               carbohydrate               free               foods.

But               at               what               cost               to               their               long               term               health?
               Numerous               studies               have               shown               links               between               the               intake               of               fats,               saturated               fats,               and               red               meat               to               copious               health               problems               including               heart               disease,               atherosclerosis               (hardening               of               the               arteries),               and               other               circulatory               system               ailments.

Use               your               common               sense               and               ask               if               it               makes               intuitive               sense               to               deprive               your               body               of               any               particular               food               group               (in               this               case               carbohydrates).

Instead               of               the               Atkins               diet               (or               any               diet               for               that               matter),               consider               focusing               on               making               long               term               healthy               lifestyle               changes               including               a               well               balanced               diet,               regular               exercise,               and               moderation.
               A               well               balanced               diet               should               be               full               of               fruits               and               vegetables,               whole               grains,               high               in               fiber,               and               low               in               fats,               processed               foods,               and               fatty               meats.

Consult               the               USDA               food               pyramid               (www.mypyramid.gov)               for               a               visual               reminder               of               the               proper               amounts               of               servings               of               each               of               the               food               groups.

Remember               that               the               suggested               daily               allowance               of               meat               is               6               ounces,               and               3               ounces               of               beef               is               about               the               size               of               pack               of               playing               cards.

Next               time               you               have               a               16               ounce               steak               for               dinner,               consider               that               you're               eating               almost               three               days               worth               of               meat!
               Regular               exercise               is               also               vitally               important               to               good               long               term               health.

You               should               be               getting               30               minutes               of               moderate               to               vigorous               aerobic               activity               five               days               a               week.

This               can               be               easier               than               you               think;               take               a               walk               on               your               lunch               break,               or               after               work               with               your               spouse/kids,               join               an               adult               sports               league,               join               a               gym               (and               use               it!),               or               take               up               a               new               outdoor               activity               like               hiking               or               bicycling.

regular               exercise               will               increase               your               metabolism               and               burn               calories,               the               cornerstone               of               not               only               a               weight               loss               program,               but               a               healthy               lifestyle.
               You               can               still               enjoy               fattening               decadent               things,               but               do               so               in               moderation.

Split               that               dessert               with               your               dinner               companion,               have               only               half               a               slice               of               cake,               allow               yourself               some               ice               cream               after               you've               walked               three               miles.

Moderation               also               should               apply               to               alcohol               as               well,               a               drink               or               two               a               day               is               fine,               but               much               more               than               that               is               probably               excessive.
               It's               up               to               you               to               decide               if               you               want               to               hop               on               the               Atkins               diet               bandwagon,               or               start               making               healthy               lifestyle               changes               now,               that               will               involve               some               sacrifice,               but               will               give               you               a               greater               quality               of               life               for               many               years               to               come.

Ask               yourself               which               makes               more               intuitive               sense-               The               concept               that               all               carbs               are               evil               and               you               should               eat               a               diet               high               in               fats,               meats,               and               cheese?

Or               eating               a               diet               full               of               fruits,               vegetables,               whole               grains,               and               fiber,               while               exercising               regularly               and               still               enjoying               things,               only               in               moderation?

Don't               hop               on               that               diet               bandwagon,               you're               smarter               than               that.
