Dr. Atkins' Diet Revolution, published two decades ago, sold millions of copies and gained tremendous following. Now it is back in a slightly modified form. The cornerstone of Dr. Atkins's diet is the regulation of insulin production through a diet which is extremely low in carbohydrates. Less insulin is expected to result in less fat storage and fewer food cravings. The diet is far from non-controversial though--those who've tried it attest to its efficacy (25,000 and more persons are claimed to have lost weight as a result of this diet) but today's generation commonly accepts a low fat, high carbohydrate diet as a healthy one, exactly opposite to what Dr Atkins prescribes.
