| The Atkins Diet – The Low Carbohydrate Alternative? |
| The Atkins Diet is a high-protein,
high-fat and low-carbohydrate diet. It emphasizes meat, cheese
and eggs, while discouraging foods such as bread, pasta, fruit
and sugar. The Atkins Diet has been promoted extensively over
the past years and therefore it is now a well-known example
of a low carbohydrate diet - high fat diet. Our research and
the corresponding latest announcements of the Physicians Committee
for Responsible Medicine on the negative health effects of the
Atkins Diet and all high-fat diets in general is very concerning.
The Weight-Loss-Institute strongly recommends that anyone considering
the Atkins Diet should take into account the comments in our
diet pills comparison
chart before starting on this diet. |
| Alli |
 Treating
excessive weight gain or obesity with dietary changes
is successful in the short-term. But, permanent weight
loss is about lifestyle changes not quick fixes and
it is the combination of exercise with dietary change
that maintains long-term weight
loss. Now, to lead you on the way to weight
loss, alli can help you. Further, adding alli to diet
and exercise can help you lose 50 per cent more weight.
Alli is the first over-the-counter medicine that has
proven success.
Alli is more
than just a pill. The Alli capsules are the first of
their kind to be sold without prescription. It's an
innovative weight loss program that works with you,
not for you. It can help you lose 50% more weight than
dieting alone, but you have to do your part by changing
the way you eat and live to see results. |

| Xerisan ASA |
 According to the Institute's initial research, "Xerisan ASA" is one of the most promising new diet pills available on the US market. One of the main ingredients in Xerisan, Phaseolus Vulgaris, has in recent studies been shown to act as an effective blocker of the alpha-amylase enzyme, which is an enzyme required for the metabolism of carbohydrates. The Institute considers this one of the main reasons for the remarkable early test results of Xerisan. Although Xerisan has just been launched on the US market in January 2006 the effects of some of the ingredients have already been published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. Diet Pills Lab considers this product to have a significant potential without adverse effects, and recommends Xerisan ASA without restrictions. Ephedra Free.

| Brie Turner-McGrievy, a clinical research coordinator and registered dietician with the Physicians Committee noted that to date there has only been limited research on these types of diets and therefore the long-term effects are unknown. He also added that there are concerns about diets high in protein, such as the Atkins Diet, which can cause kidney problems, and that diets rich in saturated fats found in meat and dairy products can lead to clogged arteries and cancer.
Katherine Tallmedge, a registered dietician and spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association, said, "Diets high in saturated fat raises LDL ("bad" cholesterol) in most people," which increases the risk of heart disease and heart attacks, Tallmedge said, noting that Atkins himself recently developed heart problems.
Low-carbohydrate diets like the Atkins diet are often touted for their ability to reduce LDL and triglycerides, but this effect is caused by the initial weight loss, Tallmedge said. "Once the weight loss has stopped, they often go higher than ever before," she said.
There are other health consequences of the Atkins diet. Tallmedge stated that an unpublished, six-month study funded by Atkins found 68 percent of the people in the study who were on his diet experienced constipation, 63 percent had bad breath, 51 percent had headaches and some also experienced hair loss.
Medical and scientific research has proceeded greatly since the Atkins Diet came to the market. The Weight-Loss-Institute strongly recommends that anyone considering the Atkins Diet should take into account the comments in our diet pills comparison chart before.
