Is the low carb diet safe?

What are your thoughts. I'm thinking about doing it to lose weight quickly then immediately switching to a healthy food, schedule and exercise regimen.
 
Carbs don't make you gain or lose fat. Calories do.
 
Im not sure, but im still not in Ketosis. I dont have that weird taste in my mouth that you are supposed to get.
Although i do get thirsty more easily and feel tired, which are signs that you are in ketosis. I must be having too many carbs.
 
I did Atkins 8 years ago. Lost 30 lbs., and then over the course of 5 years, put it all back on again, plus 10 lbs.

I don't think a diet that relies on cutting out major food groups is a sensible one for me.

there are also hundreds of sites on the net that encourage anorexia and bulimia... just because it's on the net... doesn't make it safe :)

True but safety wasnt the debate.

The debate was popularity and Atkins is still very popular, regardless of how safe it is :)

Right, as long as there's quick results, there will always be people following it. but you have to admit, the steam atkins had a few years ago has slowed to a crawl..

I thought it was most popular in the 60's?

i wouldnt say slowed to a crawl, but once the idea came out loads of other people came up with low carb approaches and Atkins is just one of thousands now.
