There are reports indicating that studies have shown benefits for heartstroke as well as diabetic patients, and that many experts are already discussing a low carb nutrition for diabetic patients who may then be able to live their lives without any insulin. Like any diet, the health effects will depend a great deal on the food choices one makes to meet the macronutrient requirements specified by the diet.

The Atkins Nutritional Approach, popularly known as the Atkins Diet or just Atkins, is a trendy but controversial high-protein, high-fat, low-carbohydrate diet popularized by Dr. Robert Atkins (1930-2003) in a series of books, starting with Dr. Atkins' Diet Revolution.

Atkins recommends restriction of the intake of carbohydrates in order to switch the body metabolism from using glucose as the fuel to burning fat (both dietary and stored fat). This process of lipolysis begins when the body enters the state of ketosis as a consequence of running out of carbohydrates to burn.
