The Atkins Diet

History
The Atkins Diet (or "Atkins Nutritional Approach") was developed by Dr. Robert C. Atkins, an internist and a cardiologist, in the early 1970s. He published his weight-loss plan in his book, "Dr. Atkins' Diet Revolution," in 1972. The book soared to popularity, and it and its successors are still very popular among dieters today. Over 10 million copies have been sold worldwide.
