I've used the Atkins Diet on a number of occasions. It works and it actually made me feel pretty good. However after awhile it gets boring. At first it is fun, all the meat you care to eat. I did it with my Doctors Blessing. His only comment is don't stay on it for a long time.
I've come to the conclusion, my health is my problem. The best physician is the one that looks at me in the mirror every morning. Over the years there have been all kinds of statements from the medical profession on what you should or should not eat, what vitamins you should be taking, what medications they believe should be prescribed, etc, etc, etc. Some of it was correct and some of it was nonsense. If you pay attention to your body and what it is telling you, you can go a long way to being healthier. I can tell by the way I feel whether I've eaten something that was not particularly good for me, or eaten too much food, or too much fat, or too much sugar, or been a bit lazy about getting any exercise.
I used to think that any doctor was a good doctor, not any more. I ask questions, I do research on my own. In the end its your decision on what you should or should not do with your body and how you take care of it.
