If you're hoping to drop a dress size and you've done your research, chances are you'll have come across the Atkins diet. First promoted in the 1960s by cardiologist Robert C Atkins, the Atkins diet involves ditching carbs in favour of protein and fats to facilitate rapid weight loss.

As a restrictive diet it has received some criticism with experts warning it is unsustainable and may be dangerous if used as a long-term fix, but several studies have also found that the Atkins diet improves blood sugar control and lowers cholesterol, so the jury is currently out.

We speak to dietitian and nutritionist Susie Burrell about what the Atkins diet is, how it works to help you lose weight and the potential risks.

The only way is it restrictive is because everyone says so and keeps pushing high carb foods. If the world around me was 100% supportive, just like everyone is on board with using insulin and metformin, Low Carb becomes sustainable.

In DANDR, there is little off limits at maintenance. Just keep the carbs limited, but not the food choices.

I'm tired of food pushed at me. That is high carb cakes and breads. As a carb addict saying no is hard. Who offers alcohol to an alcoholic? Sheesh
