Title: This diet the least scientific of all the low carb diets
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 18, 2010
Review: Although the new Atkins diet is very flexible and allows you to even be a complete vegetarian if you like, the core belief that saturated fat is heart healthy has not changed. Of all the low carb diets out there, this one is the least like what modern hunter gatherers actually eat and the most likely to raise your LDL (South Beach and Paleo are much better). You would think that after 40 years of the Atkins diet, if it was good for heart disease, there would be at least one long term study showing it actually reduces heart attacks, but there aren’t any.

SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE ATKINS DIET DURING WEIGHT LOSS THAT THE BOOK WON’T TELL YOU ABOUT

1) It raises LDL in 30% of patients and causes many unpleasant side effects in most patients.

A May 2004 study, financed by Atkins and published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, described two participants in the low-carbohydrate diet group (Atkins) who dropped out of the study because of concerns about elevated serum lipid levels. In one participant, the LDL-cholesterol level increased from 184 mg/dl (4.75 mmol/l) to 283 mg/dl (7.31 mmol/l) in 3 months. Another participant’s LDL-cholesterol level went from 182 mg/dl (4.70 mmol/l ) to 219 mg/dl (5.66 mmol/l) in 4 weeks. Overall, LDL-cholesterol increased by more than 10% in 30% of the people on the low-carbohydrate diet.

Several symptomatic adverse effects occurred more frequently in the low-carbohydrate diet group than in the low-fat diet group, including constipation (68% vs. 35%; P < 0.001), headache (60% vs. 40%; P = 0.03), halitosis (38% vs. 8%; P < 0.001), muscle cramps (35% vs. 7%; P < 0.001), diarrhea (23% vs. 7%; P = 0.02), general weakness (25% vs. 8%; P = 0.01), and rash (13% vs. 0%; P = 0.006). One participant sought medical attention for constipation but had no complications. One 53-year-old man in the low-carbohydrate diet group who had a family history of early heart disease developed chest pain near the end of the study, and coronary heart disease was subsequently diagnosed.

While most patients did not seem to worsen their health during this short term weight loss study, it clearly worsened the blood lipids of 30% of patients and as well as caused unpleasant side effects in an even larger percentage of patients. Clearly the Atkins diet is not healthy for everyone. Even during the weight loss phase, this diet would be extremely unlikely to prevent or reverse heart disease in anyone.

2) High meat diets increase IGF-1 which is a risk factor for cancer.

“Reducing protein intake from an average of 1.67 g kg ‘1 of body weight per day to 0.95 g kg ‘1 of body weight per day for 3 weeks in six volunteers practicing CR resulted in a reduction in serum IGF-1 from 194 ng mL ‘1 to 152 ng mL ‘1 .”

“Men with relatively high intakes of total protein (top quintile) and minerals (top quintile of the five minerals combined) had a 25% higher mean plasma level of IGF-I compared with those in the low quintiles simultaneously.”

EVEN MORE SERIOUS PROBLEMS WITH THE ATKINS DIET DURING WEIGHT MAINTENANCE THAT THE BOOK WON’T TELL YOU ABOUT

3) During weight maintenance the Atkins diet greatly increases LDL compared to South Beach or Ornish diets.

According to a study in 2009 by Miller et al that compared three diets (Atkins, South Beach and Ornish) during weight maintenance, LDL went up 8 percent on the Atkins diet, fell 11.8% on the South Beach diet and fell 16.6% on the Ornish diet. The Atkins also produced less favorable results for flow-mediated vasodilation than the other two.

4) During weight maintenance a high saturated fat, high beef diet increases the number of small dense LDL particles.

In a study co-authored by Ronald Krauss, during weight maintenance two low-carb diets (one high and one low in saturated fat) were compared to a high carbohydrate diet that was also high in saturated fat. The values for small dense LDL were 222 nmol/l in the low-carb, high saturated fat diet ; 207 nmol/l in the high-carb diet, high saturated fat diet; and 187 nmol/l in the low-carb, low saturated fat diet.

LIFELONG REDUCTIONS IN LDL LINKED TO CONSISTENT REDUCTION IN CHD RISK

Scientists studied nine single nucleotide polymorphisms which influence LDL levels. From homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia at the high extreme (over 600 mg/dL LDL cholesterol) to hypobeta-lipoproteinemia at the low extreme (less than 15mg/dL LDL cholesterol). Since these SNP’s are present from birth, this allowed them to see the effect of low LDL levels maintained over a lifetime. The results show a three times greater benefit for these life long low LDL levels compared taking statins later in life. Ference stated, “the effect of each of the included SNPs on risk of CHD is mediated largely or entirely through effect on circulating levels of LDL, rather than through some other pleiotropic effect.”

“The researchers also conducted a meta-analysis of the “natural” randomized trials by combining non-overlapping data from multiple SNPs involving 326,443 participants. Results of this study indicated that lifetime exposure to lower LDL was associated with a 54% (95% CI, 48–59) relative reduction of CVD for each 38.7 mg/dL (1 mmol/L) lower LDL.” There is a clear dose response relationship. And no one is suggesting that people that statins all their life, but low animal fat diets can do a lot to improve LDL.

Post-diagnosis dietary factors and survival after invasive breast cancer.

A study of breast cancer survivors showed that “Women who consumed the highest quartile of saturated fat (median of 13% kcal) had a 41% statistically significant higher risk of all-cause mortality compared to women in the lowest quartile, who consumed a median of 7% calories from saturated fat (P trend = 0.03).”

Bill Clinton had been on the South Beach low-carb diet long enough to lose 30 pounds before needing to undergo heart bypass surgery. While South Beach gives much better cardiovascular biomarker’s than Atkins, it still wasn’t good enough to prevent his heart condition from getting worse.

There are some people on Dr. Davis track your plaque website who claim to have reversed heart disease on a low carb diet, but they also achieved extremely low LDL levels. “LindyBill” says he reduced his plaque by over 30% but he also reduced his LDL from 119 to 52 mg/dL. (Dr. Davis recommends grass-fed meat [which happens to be low in saturated fat] as well as supplements that improve lipids.)

The Atkins type diet is often characterized as being the diet of our ancestors. But hunter gatherers didn’t eat dairy or factory-farmed meat which this diet permits. The online USDA National Nutrient Database shows that factory-farmed meat contains about five times as much saturated fat as grass-fed meat (ground meat doesn’t count because the same amount of fat is added to both making comparisons meaningless.) And wild game eaten by HGs contains even less saturated fat than grass-fed domestic meat. And LDL in modern HGs who eat wild game averages 50 to 70 mg/dL (far below average American levels), while the average person on an Atkins diet during weight maintenance eating factory-farmed meat and dairy sees their LDL go up to above average levels.

The book tells us not to worry about saturated fat because the more saturated fat we eat the less saturated fat there is in the blood as if this had any relevance to heart disease. What matters is that saturated fat in the diet increases LDL in the blood. This is what matters.

In every long range study that I’ve seen increasing animal fat and reducing sugar either fails to reduce heart attacks or actually increases them. This doesn’t mean that everyone has elevated LDL or an increased risk of heart disease during weight maintenance. Studies just report averages.

THE TRUTH ABOUT DIFFERENT KINDS OF LOW FAT DIETS

Not only does the book make false promises about the benefits of high animal fat diets for heart disease but it misleads us about the evidence that low animal fat diets can prevent or reverse heart disease. The book uses the Women’s Health Initiative to claim that low fat diets are ineffective for weight loss or the prevention of heart disease and cancer. But in that study people were free to replace fat with anything they chose and in this country that’s usually sugar, white flour and fried potatoes swimming in trans fat. And there was no significant lowering of LDL. However there are other kinds of low fat diets that are very effective at lowering LDL and reducing heart attacks.

In the 1950s, Dr. Morrison put 50 heart attack survivors on a 15% fat, high protein diet and another 50 survivors were told to eat as usual. Total cholesterol fell from 312 mg/dl to 220 mg/dl in the experimental group. That’s a reduction of 29%. And over a period of 8 years, 38 patients eating as usual died while only 22 in the experimental group died. See

Title: Atkins is the Best
Date: Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 8, 2010
Review: I’m 60, and have a lifetime of digestive woes behind me. I got to a point where I thought virtually NO food out there would agree with me. I was slim until my second child at 36, and carried an excess 20–30 lbs. after that. I was unsuccessful with every diet I tried. In 2003 I tried Atkins for the very first time. It was effortless, the weight dropped off quite easily, and best of all, I felt physically better than I had ever felt in my entire life. My digestive issues disappeared, headaches disappeared, I felt fantastic. How could that be?

A few years later I learned I have celiac disease, meaning my time on Atkins without gluten benefitted me enormously. In the years since 2003 I’ve learned a lot about my body and what works to fuel it. I am highly carb sensitive, and in addition to not being able to eat gluten, I also do not do well with any other grains, starches, and I have to limit even fruit since I just can’t handle much sugar. At my current age it is hard to lose weight, but I’ve been back on a basic Atkins diet since March 1 and have slowly but surely dropped about 15 pounds and a lot of fat in the middle. I feel wonderful, my blood pressure is down, and I expect my cholesterol to also go down. I am frankly tired of reading all the other competing nutritionists and diet gurus dissing Atkins and I’m fed up with people who don’t understand the diet making erroneous assumptions about it and how it works. If I ate the way these people prescribe, I’d be sick and I’d feel horrible all the time. If Atkins is so bad, I’d like these naysayers to explain why I feel so wonderful eating that way! The proof is in the pudding, as they say. While Atkins may not work for everyone, it sure works for me on every single level. I’m committed to eating along the lines of Atkins as a way of life, not as a quick fix diet. Atkins is allowing my body to stabilize and return to its natural state, and Atkins has completely solved all my lifetime digestive issues.

I’ve enjoyed all the Atkins books over the years. My favorite is the friendly, chatty, very personal and anecdotal 1972 version, but they are all a bit different and offer different bits of information along the way. I found this new version to be quite good and it incorporates much of the newest information to back up the claims. It’s valuable to understand the principles behind how this type of diet works and why it works so well, and this edition is informative and very readable. If you have had a very carb heavy diet prior to going into Atkins, there is a period of adjustment where your body reacts to the withdrawal of carbs and switches over to a fat burning type of metabolism. If you know this going into it, be ready to put up with possible headaches and feeling tired for a few days, but your reward will soon come. After the first week, I have never again experienced any fatigue. I have plenty of energy for sports (I ski 50+ times each winter, I mountain bike, I do strenuous weight and cardio workouts 4–5 times a week, and so on). The only time I feel bad is if I eat something not recommended by Atkins. I have learned how my body reacts to such foods, and I don’t like it. I much prefer how I feel on Atkins to how I feel eating a different way.

My advice to anyone is this: Buy the book, read it front to back, and give it an honest trial for 2 weeks. The proof will be in how you feel. The weight loss you’ll observe is a bonus.

UPDATE 7/19/11. I’m still following Atkins, and at this point I have lost about 25 pounds from my start in 3/10. I have lost 11% fat, going from 40% to 29%. Physically I look entirely different. I look slim and SMALL, and it still amazes me to see this in a mirror. I’m still a few pounds and maybe 5% fat loss from my goal, and need to lose around 10 more pounds. But the important thing is that over the last 16 months I have completely altered my relationship to food, and have adjusted to eating this way for life. This is absolutely key to success: you cannot go back to old eating habits. But for me, I had to realize I could not lose weight as fast as I wanted, and I could not allow myself to be discouraged by that. My loss has been in fits and starts: If I was pretty strict with the diet, I’d lose. When I loosened up a bit I’d maintain, but that was useful because this incremental rate of loss allowed me to establish increasingly lower “set points” for weight. I have had lifelong issues with high blood pressure and high-ish cholesterol. My BP is quite normal now, and while my BP is still around 250 or so, a closer analysis reveals that my HDL is extremely high (part of the reason my total has not gone down), and my LDL particles are off the chart fluffy in nature, which is also good. So I’m no longer worried about either of these measurements. I take no meds, have zero digestive issues any more, zero heartburn, I have tons of energy to ski, bike, exercise. Running on a relatively carb-less metabolism suits me perfectly and I’ll never go back. NEW BOOK REC: Two of the authors of this book have just published a new one: The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Living: An Expert Guide to Making the Life Saving Benefits of Carbohydrate Restriction Sustainable and Enjoyable. I REALLY liked this book, just finished reading it. It is strongly aimed at convincing the doctors of the validity of low carbohydrate eating, and is sometimes a bit technical in nature. But if you are interested in the nuts and bolts of why this works, this book is a nice addition to the Gary Taubes books and will further increase your resolve and comfort in eating this way. […]

Review: Using this book, I began the Atkins diet starting with Level 2. I lost about 10 lbs. in 2 weeks and cut my Metformin by half. I’m a technical writer and truly appreciate how well organized and thorough this book is. Moreover, it’s written in a casual — but not TOO flippant style that makes for pleasent and entertaining reading. The book is a masterpiece and an expert guide to all the various approaches to the Atkins diet, including detailed dietary approaches for diebetics, vegetarianss and vegans. I’m kosher and have no problem at all in adhering to the diet other than the usual milk with meat kosher restriction. If you’ve thought even once about losing weight via the Atkins diet, buy this book today.
