help - feedback -sponsor this guide

Virtually everyone who uses the search term "atkins diet" is looking for information about the diet developed by Dr. Robert Atkins (October 17, 1930 - April 17, 2003) which sparked enormous controversy and media coverage by questioning conventional wisdom about low-fat diets. In fact, Dr. Atkins advised dieters to eat ‘‘truly luxurious foods without limit,’’ but to exclude starches and refined carbohydrates from their diets. The assertion underlying the Atkins diet is that when the consumption of carbohydrates is restricted, the body converts from the metabolic pathway of burning carbohydrate to burning fat, thus resulting in weight loss.
