Diet Coke and Diet Pepsi contain aspertame which can hinder your progress if you're trying to lose weight on a low carb diet.  They both also contain a lot of caffiene which can constrict blood vessels (not good!).  \n\nYou're probably much better off choosing another beverage with less preservatives and caffiene when it comes to your health.  Of course, if you drink them in moderation, I'm sure not much harm is done.

If you do it too long, you can change the PH of your blood which is in no way healthy.  Also, you can easily risk not getting the minerals, vitamins and fiber you need from fruits and vegetables.  Not to mention the high fat intake that is allowed with Atkins can cause many health problems - like high colesterol.

Zone is the healthiest. Atkins and other such diets are really bad for you. I was able to get into peak condition in about 3 months of being on the Zone with regular exercise.

The Atkins Diet is dead and buried and has been superceded by the likes of the GI diet.  The reason it's joined all those other dead and buried diets is that it doesn't work.\n\nIf you want to lose weight then exercise more and eat less.\n\nIf you want to lose money then follow a diet.

My personal trainer (and a lot of reviews said) that the atkins diet is the worst diet to be one.  You cannot deprive your body of carbohydrates.  You need good carbs along with proteins and good fats.  It is said that after getting off the atkins diet your are 10 times more likey to gain more weight than you lost.

Are you doing Atkins or some low carb high protein diet? I used to find that sometimes I could take pork rinds and spread them with some WHOLE FAT cream cheese, almost zero carbs, and it kicks in that ketoacidosis (ketosis) that most people strive for on the low carb, high protein diets...Pork rinds are made from pig fat and skin, and they are truly a carbless snack, get the plain salted ones the flavored ones may contain carbs. Read the labels!\n\nGood luck, if you are doing the Atkins diet, you will need to keep your carbs as low as possible, if you are not healthy this diet may not be good for you. Ketosis is when your body feeds off of itself.  It can also make your breath foul, you need to find some sugar free/low carb breath mints...If it's sweet...do not eat!  Low carb/Atkins worked for me for awhile, but I longed for bread, pasta, rice and tators...all BIG "NO" items if on Atkins...\n\nSo I have lost all the weight I wanted by turning Atkins upside down, and lowering my fat gram consumption to about 10 grams of fat per day or less...I can eat all the cooked and raw veggies that I want, and for me it's a healthier diet plan...I still keep the breads and things like that to a minimum unless they are low fat items, then only in moderation...and I avoid sweets as much as possible, if you ever get over craving sugar, you are fortunate.  When I was on Atkins I used to dream of things like anything chocolate, or even just a piece of good whole grain bread.  I could smell bread cooking and I would salavate like a hungry dog.  I lost weight on the diet, but at times I felt deprived.\n\nGood luck, I know that most meats are low in carbs, so try some beef jerky (try to get it plain or buy a food dehydrater and a london broil or some beef, cut it into strips and put it in the dehydrator! Soon you will have good homemade beef jerky (keep in the fridge because your homemade jerky will not have the perservatives that the store bought kind has or the carbs)...But if you slice it thin, you can beat the high cost of this almost carb free snack!\n\nOnce again good luck, when you get older the matabolism slows, so it may be best to try to shed excess poundage and keep it off while you are still young and able!  Plenty of water, no matter which diet you are on! It helps to make you feel full.

People can call it what they want, but Atkins will work.  But you have to follow it exactly.  If you don't want to do Atkins, try South Beach.  Keep up with the exercise!

There is no scientific evidence to tupport that Hepatitia B is complicated by drinking coffee. Caffeine is actually used as a painkiller. It can increase your heart rate, but the latest studies indicate that coffee is not the evil drink once thought.

your basically making yourself having type 2 diabetes. It's the same diet for people who are insulin resitant. I think it's gonna be bad just by the name. It'll might be good because it is very healthy. I don't know i'd try it.

I think it depends.  with your tea, it depends on the kind of tea. if youre drinking something like earl grey, you have a twist of lemon in it. something lighter, you dont take anything. a blackberry tea, or something strong and dark like that, honey's good to kill the bitterness.  as for coffee, there's an old trucker adage i think is appropriate here.  "if you wanted a cup of cream or sugar, why did you order coffee?" take it black of course, straight up. maybe a shot of espresso for some extra kick.

A lot of research has been done on coffee to refute many early misconceptions that coffee is bad for you.  With caffeine as its active ingredient, the problems associated with it include increased blood pressure, increased heart rate, and increased risk of irregular heartbeat.  There are ongoing studies to show whether coffee is related to breast cancer and osteoporosis. Many of these negative effects are due to overconsumption, so coffee should be taken in moderation, much like any other substance.\n\nHowever, a lot of new research has shown that coffee might even be good for you.  According to a Harvard Research newsletter, coffee has been indicated potential decreases in risk for type 2 diabetes, gallstones, colon cancer, liver damage in people at high risk for liver disease, and Parkinson's Disease.  Coffee has also been shown to increase memory, alertness, and even endurance in physical activities.

I've done the atkins diet, heres what it includes:\nThe Promise:\n\nIn 2 1/2 months you should lose 52 pounds. \n\nThe Rules:\n\nYou must drink eight 8oz. glasses of water daily (64 oz. total per day). \nAt any meal you may eat until you are full. \nYou must eat the minimum listed at each meal. (yep, this diet list the minimum you should eat). \nYou cannot eliminate anything from the diet. Especially the bacon at breakfast and the salads. You must eat the bacon and salads. These combinations of food burn the fat, omitting one part of the combination will cause the whole thing not to work. \nThe grapefruit or fruit juice is important because it acts as a catalyst that starts the burning process. Don't add or reduce the amount of grapefruit or juice. \nCut down on coffee, it affects the insulin balance that hinders the burning process. Try to limit to 1 cup at meal time. \nDon't eat between meals. If you eat the suggested foods you will not get hungry. \nYou can fry food in butter and use butter generously on vegetables. \nDo not eat desserts, breads, and white vegetables or sweet potatoes. \nYou may double or triple helpings of meat, salad or vegetables. \nEat until you are stuffed. The more you eat the more weight you will lose. \nStay on the diet 12 days, then stop the diet for 2 days and repeat. \nDiet Plan:\n\nBreakfast: \nEither 1/2 grapefruit OR 8 oz. juice (unsweetened) \n2 eggs any style \n2 slices of bacon \n\nLunch: \nEither 1/2 grapefruit OR 8 oz. juice (unsweetened) \nSalad with any dressing \nMeat any style and any amount\n\nDinner: \nEither 1/2 grapefruit OR 8 oz. juice (unsweetened) \nSalad with any dressing OR a red or green vegetable cooked in butter or spices. \nMeat or even Fish any style cooked any way. \nCoffee or Tea (1 cup)\n\nBedtime Snack: \n8oz. glass of tomato juice or 8 oz cup of skim milk. \n\n\nIn the first week you would have lost 10 lbs. I dropped 3 pant sizes off this diet.

You can carry a 1/2 gallon milk jug around, filled with 1 part regular strength coffee, and 3 parts water.  Sip at it throughout the day, and it will speed up your metabolism some.\n\nIt's probably not healthy to drink that much coffee in a day though.  proceed at your own peril.
