There is compelling evidence that the famous low-carbohydrate, high-protein Atkins Diet can cause adverse health effects to
certain otherwise normal people. But it is not yet known how many people have been adversely affected, what factors may have
contributed to their experience, and whether the severity of the problems and/or the number of people experiencing them warrants
comprehensive examination by medical research.
We created this website to gather input from YOU regarding YOUR experience. It is our hope that, with sufficient input
from the community at large, we will be able to show a cause-and-effect relationship between the Atkins Diet and certain adverse
physiological phenomena. We further hope that evidence collected here will serve as catalyst for a full-scale scientific inquiry
into this controversial diet.
IF YOU HAVE HAD ANY ADVERSE HEALTH EXPERIENCES THAT YOU THINK MIGHT
BE LINKED TO THE ATKINS DIET, PLEASE RECORD YOUR EXPERIENCES IN OUR GUESTBOOK (BELOW).

Millions of people have tried the Atkins Diet. Both the Internet and periodical literature are replete with testimonials
to the efficacy of the diet. But first-hand accounts of adverse health effects experienced by Atkins Dieters are nearly non-existent,
not because they don't exist, but because no one is accumulating them! This website is dedicated, first, to demonstrating,
via the accumulation of first-hand testimonials, that there is, for some, a dark side to be reckoned with, and second, to
stimulating scientific research so that would-be dieters may be aware of the risks and consequences before they decide to
diet.
