What is Atkins?

Refers to a book by Dr. Atkins – “Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution” by Robert C. Atkins, MD, 1992. Paperback edition published by Avon Books. ISBN 0-380-72729-3. The most popular book about ketogenic dieting to date. Many are under the impression that it is strictly a “no carb” diet, but that only refers to the two week induction phase that Atkins recommends. Carbohydrates are gradually added back to the diet to determine individual tolerances in the Ongoing Weight Loss (OWL) portion of the diet. Not a lot of attention is paid to caloric restriction or exercise.
