As a lifestyle change, it's even worse, as it fundamentally alters your body chemistry. It may seem great in the short term, but eventually, it will come back to bite you. In fact, Dr. Atkins, on his death bed, retained so much water that his weight bloated by about 50-70 pounds, and many physicians have attributed that to his protien and fat heavy diet.
