Atkins diet no longer popular

If you caught the Atkins bug, you were not alone. For past several years, Atkins Diet, despite being controversial if it helped one lose weight, low-carb dieting was the rage. It seems, though, that the trend may have come to an end. Atkins Nutritionals, the parent company of Atkins dieting, has filed for bankruptcy signaling that Americans may have lost their faith in low-carb meals.

What does it mean for you? While any diet is a good diet, the key to weight loss is:

1. Calorie consumption in proportion to your lifestyle
2. Regular exercise

If you are overweight or obese, then you may have to cut your calories even more and exercise longer while you lose weight. You may also want to look gastric bypass surgery and obesity surgery as options.
