Atkins diet

A Dictionary of Food and Nutrition | 2005 | Copyright

Atkins diet Weight reducing diet originally proposed in 1972; a ketogenic diet in which carbohydrate intake is strictly limited but fat and protein are permitted in unlimited amounts. It is effective for weight loss, since ketonaemia reduces appetite, and protein appears to reduce appetite, but it runs counter to modern advice on a prudent diet.
