The Atkins diet first became popular during the 1960s when clinically obese individuals were admitted to a hospital for medical treatment. Physicians tried reducing patient's weight by temporarily omitting carbohydrates from their diet to treat related diseases. Published in the early 1990s Dr. Atkins new Diet Revolution became a bestseller overnight and numerous media stories some favorable, some not - started to circulate. The most recent Atkins plan promotes five different nutritional “rules:” High consumption of protein, fiber, substantial vitamin and mineral intake, the elimination of Trans fats and low amount of sugar. Although physical activity is encouraged alongside the diet plan, the main focus is on the high –protein, low-carbohydrate regimen. Before scientist data existed, a combination of consumer interest, well-timed marketing strategies, and media coverage catapulted this diet into the limelight and sealed its popularity. The Atkins Corporation today promotes not only the Atkins Diet but also a wide range of branded products including foods and supplements designed to be consumed as part of the plan. Consumers can subscribe to websites and clubs, receive newsletters, download recipes, participate in discussion groups, and even take course on the subject.
