Do you need to talk to your doctor before starting the Atkins diet?

Answer:
As with any diet it is advised that you speak to your medical doctor as not all diets are designed for all people. The Atkins diet is not suggested for those that have diabetes or even heart issues because it is a very low carbohydrate diet and you must also excercise with any diet. The diet itself must be a way of life to continue to keep the weight off and has many restrictions that may not be suited for all.
