For the first two weeks of the Atkins diet plan (called Induction), carbohydrate intake is limited to 20 grams a day, meaning that protein and fat will, by necessity, form the bulk of the diet. In order to avoid health problems caused by vitamin and mineral deficiencies during this period, vitamin and mineral supplements form an essential part of this phase of the diet.

The Atkins Diet and other low-carb plans have shown poor results in the long-term. Considering the health risks associated with the regimen, the Atkins Diet seems like a poor choice when there are so many sensible alternatives.

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.
