Slimming Atkins

Atkins Nutritionals, the original purveyors of the Atkins Diet and formed by the man himself, is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in the US. It couldn't happen to a nicer fad.

While cutting out carbohydrates proved a very successful way for many people to lose weight, medical experts said that following the diet plan for an extended period could have long-term negative effects on health.

They pointed to a scarcity of vegetables and fruit, and said that people should try to follow a more balanced diet.

Any effect, good or bad, that continues after the diet is stopped could qualify as long term.
