Atkins Diet Side Effects

If you have experienced any negative side effects with the Atkins Diet, please read on.

There is compelling evidence that the famous low-carbohydrate, high-protein Atkins Diet can cause adverse health effects to certain otherwise normal people. But it is not yet known how many people have been adversely affected, what factors may have contributed to their experience, and whether the severity of the problems and/or the number of people experiencing them warrants comprehensive examination by medical research.

We created this website to gather input from YOU regarding YOUR experience. It is our hope that, with sufficient input from the community at large, we will be able to show a cause-and-effect relationship between the Atkins Diet and certain adverse physiological phenomena. We further hope that evidence collected here will serve as catalyst for a full-scale scientific inquiry into this controversial diet.

IF YOU HAVE HAD ANY ADVERSE HEALTH EXPERIENCES THAT YOU THINK MIGHT BE LINKED TO THE ATKINS DIET, PLEASE RECORD YOUR EXPERIENCES IN OUR GUESTBOOK (BELOW).

Millions of people have tried the Atkins Diet. Both the Internet and periodical literature are replete with testimonials to the efficacy of the diet. But first-hand accounts of adverse health effects experienced by Atkins Dieters are nearly non-existent, not because they don't exist, but because no one is accumulating them! This website is dedicated, first, to demonstrating, via the accumulation of first-hand testimonials, that there is, for some, a dark side to be reckoned with, and second, to stimulating scientific research so that would-be dieters may be aware of the risks and consequences before they decide to diet.
