How many people are on the Atkins Diet?

Andrea Giancoli (Registered Dietician ) gives expert video advice on: What is the 'Atkins Diet'?; What is the philosophy behind the Atkins Diet?; What happens when I restrict carbohydrates? and more...

The Atkins Diet waxes and wanes. A few years ago, as many as 11% of people had tried it or were on it. It's now down to 1%. It's really losing its popularity right now, but it'll probably rear its ugly head in another five to ten years because its based around high-protein, low-carbohydrate. Those are the only two macronutrients that we're getting calories from, plus the fat. There's not a lot that we can do with those three macronutrients, so it will get recycled. You'll see it again.
