Have a question for Dr. Greger about this video? Leave it in the comment section at http://nutritionfacts.org/videos/atkins-diet-trouble-keeping-it-up/ and he'll answer it!

VIDEO DESCRIPTION: A case report in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics (formerly Journal of the American Dietetic Association) of a man who went on the Atkins diet, lost his ability to have an erection, and nearly lost his life.

    Yikes...I hope you learn from this leon. You want to cut sugar and get healthy, do it gradually.

    Otherwise.... ahem

    Atkins is extreme. There are other low-carb diets that work well but are more balanced. Atkins, IIRC, is a no-carb diet. It's not necessary to go to that extreme in order to get good results.
