Abstract
This paper questions whether the Atkins diet can solve obesity and Type 2 Diabetes epidemics in the United States. It looks at the make-up of the diet and its vital components and explains the health aspects of nutritional component. This is then examined as to whether the diet can really provide a solution to major diseases connected to obesity in the United States.
From the Paper
"Studies show that 64.5% of all Americans are overweight, and 30.5% of those are obese (Harvard Men's Health Watch). The real concern is that "obesity is directly responsible for 300,000-400,000 deaths in the U.S. each year, nearly as many as smoking," reports the Harvard Medical School. How is America dealing with this major obesity epidemic? A majority of these overweight Americans are turning to the latest controversial "fad" diet referred to as the "Atkins diet." As of December 1, 2002, the Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution paperback has dominated the New York Times best?seller list for over five years (New York Times). The Atkins diet is attractive to many people because it offers weight loss without starvation; not only does it shed off pounds without starving, but also without counting calories as one would on a traditional low-fat diet. But here is the catch-you must get rid of your sweet tooth! In addition, the Atkins diet appears to offer a solution to adult-onset, type 2 diabetes, which is also another major health epidemic in the United States. "Approximately 17 million people in the United States, or 6.2% of the population, have diabetes," most of which is adult-onset, type 2 diabetes, reports the American Diabetes Association. Although the Atkins diet has become an increasingly popular method for losing weight and may provide a solution to type 2 diabetes, ongoing controversy among medical researchers indicates that further research is necessary in order to deem it safe."

From the Paper
"What if what we have been taught all our lives about the foods that are good and bad for us is a big fat lie? "At the very moment that the government started telling Americans to eat less fat, we got fatter. The truths about why we gain weight and why it is so hard to lose it just might turn out to be much different from what we have been led to think." (Big Fat Lie) The Atkins Nutritional Approach is a revolutionary lifestyle that promotes eating more fat and protein and less carbohydrates. Research has shown that people that follow low-carbohydrate diets demonstrate better metabolic rates than people that follow low-fat, low-calorie diets. (Revisited) In this paper, we will discuss the four principles involved in the Atkins Nutritional Approach and the four phases to following Atkins, as well as some popular fallacies about Atkins."
