Science Advisory Board
Meet the Atkins Science Advisory Board Science is the foundation of the Atkins Lifestyle. That’s why Atkins created a multidisciplinary Science Advisory Board (SAB). Its purpose is to educate people about the growing body of emerging research that highlighting the health benefits associated with the principles upon which the Atkins Diet is based. These same […] Read More
A Low-Carbohydrate Diet Realizes Medication Withdrawal: A Possible Opportunity for Effective Glycemic Control
In brief, the effect of decreasing blood glucose control with the LCD is superior to that of the LFD for Chinese patients with T2DM, yielding a lower MES at the same time. It can reduce body weight, BMI, and lipid-lowering agents. A lower demand or burden on insulin-mediated glucose disposal may play an important role […] Read More
What is a Low Carb Diet?
Definitions, benefits, and personalized plans The term “low carbohydrate” can cause confusion. A low-carb dietary pattern has not been defined by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and its interpretation varies in the scientific literature. However, many experts consider a low-carb diet to be under 130 grams per day, which is consistent with the Dietary Reference […] Read More
Sample Page™
This is an example page. It’s different from a blog post because it will stay in one place and will show up in your site navigation (in most themes). Most people start with an About page that introduces them to potential site visitors. It might say something like this: Hi there! I’m a bike messenger […] Read More
Effect of carbohydrate-restricted dietary interventions on LDL particle size and number in adults in the context of weight loss or weight maintenance: a systematic review and meta-analysis
This review summarizes findings from 38 randomized trials including a total of 1785 participants. Carbohydrate-restricted dietary interventions were associated with an increase in LDL peak particle size and a reduction in LDL-P. The effect of carbohydrate-restricted dietary interventions on LDL peak particle size appeared to be partially explained by differences in weight loss between intervention […] Read More
A randomized controlled trial of pharmacist-led therapeutic carbohydrate and energy restriction in type 2 diabetes
These reductions occurred concurrently with clinically meaningful improvements in hemoglobin A1C, anthropometrics, blood pressure, and triglycerides (all p < 0.0001). These data indicate community pharmacists are a viable and innovative option for implementing short-term nutritional interventions for people with type 2 diabetes, particularly when medication management is a safety concern.

The Effects of a 6-Week Controlled, Hypocaloric Ketogenic Diet, With and Without Exogenous Ketone Salts, on Body Composition Responses
Energy-matched hypocaloric ketogenic diets favorably affected body composition but were not further impacted by administration of an exogenous BHB-salt that augmented ketosis. The trend for less nitrogen loss with the BHB-salt, if manifested over a longer period of time, may contribute to preserved lean mass. Read More
Do lower-carbohydrate diets increase total energy expenditure? An updated and reanalyzed meta-analysis of 29 controlled feeding studies
Lower-carbohydrate diets transiently reduce TEE, with a larger increase after ∼2.5 wk. These findings highlight the importance of longer trials to understand chronic macronutrient effects and suggest a mechanism whereby lower-carbohydrate diets may facilitate weight loss. Read More
