When you want to lose weight, you may be tempted to try extreme diets to accelerate your success. One extreme diet is the Atkins diet which encourages followers to eat a diet full of protein. This plan also limits the amount of carbohydrates that the dieter can eat. If you try the Atkins plan, you may see results within the first couple of weeks with a drop in your weight, but you will also experience some side effects from the lack of carbohydrates such as a lack of memory and shakiness.To achieve long term weight loss success, you do not need to resort to such drastic diet measures. There are many other ways in incorporate healthy options into your diet without depriving your body of needed nutrients and experiencing side effects. Some people may be able to adjust their diet on their own while others may need some additional education or the assistance of a weight loss coach.For individuals who are considered obsess, there are also surgical options to aid in their weight loss. These surgeries also have consequences which include the inability for your body to absorb needed minerals and vitamins. If a surgical weight loss option is chosen, then be sure to follow all medical instructions to make sure that your body does benefit from the weight loss and has everything it needs in terms of vitamins and minerals.You may also want to consider an over the counter weight loss supplement. When choosing one of these supplements, talk with your doctor first.
