Weight Watchers Program Read More

South Beach Diet Read More

1. One of the most dangerous diets ever designed. The fact that it was written and promoted by a cardiologist makes it more threatening because heart patients, thinking it is safe, are encouraged to eat this way.
2. You are told to move from a carbohydrate–restricted, high–protein phase back to a less restricted phase, but when you start to regain your weight (as you will inevitably do), you are instructed to go back to the more restricted phase again. This pattern of changing dietary phases accelerates the progression of atherosclerosis and promotes electrolyte swings that not only increase the likelihood of you getting a heart attack, but can predispose you to a life-threatening cardiac arrhythmia.
3. Many are aware that ketogenic diets are dangerous if maintained long–term, but if done for a short–time on and off, as recommended in the South Beach plan, you lose weight, regain it, lose weight and regain it (i.e. yo–yo your weight), which is even more dangerous to your heart and your health.
4. Full of incorrect, unscientific and fraudulent dietary advice on almost every page, starting with “lose belly fat first” as stated on the cover. Where you lose weight first is genetically determined.

Atkins’ Diet Read More

1. Moderate weight loss for some, difficult to lose significant amounts of weight long–term. Documented to accelerate the progression of atherosclerosis. Medical journals report side effects such as constipation, kidney insufficiency, bad breath, fatigue, high cholesterol, life threatening cardiac arrhythmias and sudden death due to electrolyte imbalances.
2. The diet richest in saturated fat of all others. Saturated fat is the food element best associated with cancer.
