THEATKINS DIET

It has been 10 years since Dr. Robert Atkins re-introduced his 1970s low carb diet program (known in the '70s asDr. Atkins Diet Revolution). The book, now known as Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution, has flooded the market,producing what can only be termed "low carb mania" in the United States and abroad. Millions have tried his diet,and his books have been on the bestseller lists for a decade. It has been estimated that nearly 25 millionAmericans are on a low carb diet during any given period. Dozens of "low carb" products continue to flood the5market, reminiscent of the '80s and early '90s "fat-free" everything era. Just what is the Atkins diet, and what'sthe bottom line behind its safety and long term effectiveness?

The first two weeks of the Atkins diet is termed the "induction" period. During this time, dieters are permitted toeat no more than 20 grams of carbohydrates per day. This translates into a diet consisting of nearly unlimitedmeats, poultry, seafood, eggs, cheeses, oils, butter, margarine, bacon, and sausages. The 20 gram carb limit is10generally derived from trace amounts of carbs in sauces, dressings, cheeses and a couple of cups of lettucegreens or vegetables daily. During these two weeks, participants are not allowed to have any milk, fruits, grains,cereals, breads or "high glycemic index" vegetables such as potatoes, peas, corn and carrots. After the first two

weeks, dieters can begin adding about 5 more grams of carbohydrates to their diet weekly. Generally, a dietconsisting of no more than 40-90 grams of carbohydrates is what dieters must stick to long term, in the15"maintenance" phase. Even this is a scant amount of carbohydrate compared to what health experts and majorhealth organizations recommend.

The idea that significant amounts of carbohydrates in the diet lead to obesity and illness (a concept supported bylow carb plans) is completely contradicted in many global epidemiological studies. For example, Japan, which hassome of the world's lowest rates of obesity, heart disease, cancer and diabetes, has a diet which is very rich in20carbohydrate content. The Japanese enjoy rice, vegetables, beans and legumes, and fruits at most meals. Theyhave a diet that is very low in saturated fat and red meats. However, it is high in fish which contain protectiveomega-3 fatty acids. The healthy, yet high carb, traditional Japanese style diet would be contraindicated under theAtkins plan. What a shame considering how much healthier this population is than America.
