Atkins Health Risks – Campaign Set To Highlight Associated Risks

The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine is launching a new campaign that highlights potential Atkins health risks associated with the Atkins diet, and also the legal risks associated with lower carb and high protein diets.

Dr. Atkins released his findings in the 1970’s after intensive research into what he claimed to be the cause of weight gain. The diet has been criticized by many including the Physicians Committee, and the committee launched an advertisement based upon Atkins health risk, which outlines the adverse effects of taking up the Atkin diets, causing health risks in all who follow it.

To stay healthy when dieting, all health professionals recommend healthy and balanced diets and not to follow fad diets. The ‘Got a Beef with the Atkins Diet’ consumer advertisement debuted on Yahoo.com and targeted primary care physicians using an effective headline 'Could prescribing a High-protein diet put you at legal risk?' The debut took place on ‘The Journal of Family Practice’ website at www. Atkinsdietalert.org and will provide information following studies that have taken place on high protein and meat based diet plans.

The website features those that have taken part in the diet, and who believed at the time it would improve their weight but have developed long term conditions that they believe the diet is responsible for. If you have had concerns that you have had an adverse affect to a low carb diet, specifically Dr. Atkins diet, then you can add your views too. The website is also extremely concerned about the legalities of taking part in the diet to lose weight.
