  • Title: Understanding the implications of adopting the Atkins' diet.
    Author: Rollo I.
    Journal: Nurs Times; ; 99(43):20-1. PubMed ID: 14626039.
    Abstract:
    Obesity-associated co-morbidities cost the UK at least 0.5 bn Pound a year in NHS treatment, and many adults in the UK are trying to lose weight. Dr Atkins' Diet Revolution focuses on the consumption of proteins and fats as primary calorie and energy sources, while severely restricting carbohydrates. However, this contradicts conventional advice, which advocates a low-fat diet and exercise for weight reduction.
