The Atkins Diet is a very low-carb diet. The diet reduces carbs in four phases, gradually reintroducing small amounts. Critics of the Atkins Diet say that the lack of carbs can be harmful to insulin levels and dangerous for the body.
Atkins results in ketosis, which is related to a buildup of ketones in the body. High fat levels from long-term Atkins can also clog arteries-which may be why its founder, Richard Atkins, died of a heart attack.
US Weekly reported, "In August, Kim got frustrated because she hit a plateau, even though she was eating mostly proteins and veggies. Kim eliminated carbs completely. She's working out here and there, but it's mainly about the food, Atkins-style."
The inside source added,"Kim's determined to stick to the plan. She finally feels good again."
Do you think Atkins is safe? Are you worried about Kim?
