A doctor and nutritionist who proposed a low carb, high protein diet to handle weight loss. This controversial diet had people skipping out on bread and pasta and eating hamburgers and bacon. The real controversy started when Atkins died. He fell on the front stairs of his weight loss centre, had a minor concussion and then slipped into a coma. Days later he died. Doctors claimed that his eating habbits increased his risks of surviving this minor injury. When he died, Atkins was over weight (258 lbs) and had a high cholesterol.

A diet that advocating eating basically whatever the hell you want as long as it's low in carbs. Supposedly helps you lose weight.
"Hey I saw your mom at Denny's today eating a plate of 10 eggs scrambled with extra cheese, 30 strips of bacon, and a large glass of half and half. Must have blown half her paycheck on that one."
"Shut up man. She's on the Atkins diet. She's already lost 10 pounds."
"What's that put her at, deuce and a half."
"Close, she's about 280 nowadays."
"That's a HUGE bitch!"

A diet in which you count your "net carbs" (which are carbs - dietary fibre). Contrary to popular beleif, this diet does not encourage you to eat massive amounts of bacon, cheese and other foods high in fat.
The reason why this diet actually works is because:
1. When you are eating regular carbs, your body uses them for energy by braking them up with insolan (which causes your blood sugar to rise, and then fall dramatically depending on the type of carb you eat) then u crave carbs again....its like a rollercoaster
2. When on Atkins, you are basically trying to keep your blood sugar constant - flat lined you could say.
3. When u don't use carbs for energy, your body switches in to ketosis - which is fat-burning mode. Instead of your body burning carbs and storing fat, your burning fat you eat and fat you store - that is why you can eat more fat on this diet - fat replaces carbs
* this diet has been proven by many studies to help type 2 diebetics - if you think about it, type 2 diebetics is like being allergic to carbs - your body cannot process them efficiently.
* I agree that this is a overly hyped diet - but it actually does work. I've lost 20 pounds over a month and a half - about 3 pounds a week. AND IM NOT HUNGRY ALL THE TIME LIKE I WAS WHEN I ATE CARBS! You have to do it properly - check out www.atkins.com for more infomation
