A Good Diet

Diet fads are always coming and going. Almost every month, there's a hot new way to lose weight and get in shape.In 2003, the Atkins Diet (also known as the Atkins Nutritional Approach) reached such a high popularity that almost 1 in 10 Americans was using it to lose weight.
Dr. Atkins believed that obesity had become a problem in the Western world because people were consuming too many carbohydrates. Through many trials, Dr. Atkins found that lowering carbohydrate intake helped patients lose weight and stay healthy. Atkins also claimed that too much blame was laid on fatty foods for America's obesity problems, and that the real culprits were carbohydrates.
Controversy over the real health benefits of Dr. Atkins' methods came about when some patients ended up suffering from heart disease. Elevated protein intake from fatty meats was most likely the problem. One dieter even attempted to sue Atkins after he underwent heart surgery for conditions which he believed were caused by use of the Atkins Diet.
A good diet is more than likely based on a balanced intake of food and daily exercise. It doesn't need to be complicated. Foods high in fat or sugar should only be eaten occasionally. Fruits, vegetables, fish, and lean meats are excellent daily sources of the nutrition we need to lead healthy lives. People who want to avoid the need for extreme diets should exercise every day and eat a logical, healthy balance of foods.
