Summary

Even in New York, staples such as Subway are providing low-carb wraps as part of their diet, while burger chains are offering no-bun burgers. The final straw (or insult) of this craze is low-carb alcohol. When Johnson enlisted the help of a friend to test low-carb beer from Michelob, she was lucky to keep him as a friend, but remarked that a stiff drink may be the only way to stick to this diet madness.

Details

• Steak and Salads over Sandwiches The Atkins Diet Revolution has indeed made a huge impact on the way we eat- seemingly normal people are ordering black decafs and salads without bread in the not new, but newly popular high-protein low carbohydrate diet from the late American Dr Atkins.
• Controversy and Conspiracy theories Amongst controversy about its effects on cholesterol and kidney damage, the Atkins diet continues to rise and rise in popularity, since Jennifer and Geri did it, everyone is dropping potatoes like, well, hot potatoes and turning pro protein.
• The Atkins diet advocates a return to man's original diet of protein and vegetables and eschews processed foods and alcohol, in order to put the body into a state of ketosis by limiting insulin-producing sugar in the diet.
• Meat Your Market The fast food and restaurant industry has been shaken up.
• The industry has realised that it has to adapt to survive, and provide what their consumers want to consume.
• Menu Changes in New York City I noticed the high impact that the Atkins diet was having when I visited New York, a city not unknown for idiosyncrasies and high-maintenance behaviours and neuroses, but no more so than the quest for the body-beautiful, with weight, along with face-lifts and breast size, at the forefront of image concern.
• Crumbs, I said- what next- McDonalds bun-free burgers?!
• Items ranged from Yates's Atkins Breakfast of bacon, eggs and pork and leek sausages (a bit dodgy I thought, as sausages can contain rusk) at £5.39 to the meat fest blow-out of Yates's Ultimate Protein Packer of 8oz steak, gammon, sausage and egg with mushrooms at £9.99.
• And for those unable to do the booze-free version, there are now carb limited beers on the market to quench your thirst- including Michelob Ultra low-carb beer.
