The protein and tendentially ketogenic (i.e. high-fat) diet like Atkins and the like would not only not lead to a stable reduction in body weight, but would be harmful to health. Apparently, a Spanish firm has condemned Atkins, establishing that the healthiest diet that keeps us fit is always and only balanced. Researchers from Rovira i Virgili University in Reus came to this conclusion by observing for years people who followed the Aktins diet to lose weight and maintain it: according to their research results, there was no clear evidence that Atkins made weight loss and maintain the results achieved. In fact, men and women who ate mostly protein with small portions of carbohydrates or no complex carbohydrates, but only a few vegetables, tended to gain over ten percent of their body weight after the initial weight loss. puzzling is that they had a 59% higher risk of death, and 66% according to the European Congress on Obesity .

Going on a low carb diet to lose weight is the worst strategy to lose weight, because the contraindications of the same diet not only nullify the results achieved, but compromise our general health.
So, if you continue to think that cutting carbohydrates is the solution to your weight problems, well, think again: those who lose weight with protein or ketogenic diets not only tend to regain it, but can become seriously ill, in particular have cardiovascular health problems. . And this is not a small study: seven thousand cases have been analyzed in five years! If it is true that you lose weight right away, the weight comes back with interest. And in the meantime, we play our health.
