In Western countries, the Atkins diet has been popular for quite some time now, so there is a fair amount of information about its hidden health risks.
At first glance, the nutrition system looks simply ideal: an abundance of meat, impressive results in a short period of time and the absence of an unpleasant feeling of hunger.
However, there are also significant disadvantages.
What is the danger of the Atkins diet?
First of all, experts note that such an approach to organizing the diet (the presence of only protein and fats) cannot be called reasonable and healthy. In order not to harm the body, you need to consume carbohydrates. But this is not the main danger.
It is believed that such a diet quite quickly leads to serious disruptions in the functioning of the kidneys, which is an extremely dangerous consequence. Also, one should expect a deterioration in the skin condition, since acne appears almost immediately.
Despite the lack of hunger, there is another unpleasant symptom: people who lose weight with the Atkins diet experience a very noticeable loss of energy.
