So many people have tried the various low-carb diets that the diet fad may be reaching its peak, says an industry analyst. Diets usually peak when enough people have tried the diets and failed to generate the results they were hoping to see. And with any diet, Atkins or otherwise, a large percentage of people are going to fail simply because they don't stick with it, or they don't engage in regular physical exercise.

For manufacturers of bread, soft drinks, pasta and other high-carbohydrate foods, this news couldn't be more welcome: these food manufacturing companies are being hit hard by low-carb diets. But they'll feel it for a long time, no doubt: now that people have been educated about the dangers of refined carbohydrates and added sugars, sales of foods using such ingredients are likely to remain supressed for years, if not an entire decade. And rightfully so -- such food ingredients directly promote diabetes, obesity and even cancer.
