New Zealand fashion-culture columnist Megan Johnson is shocked at the impact of Atkins diets. Despite the allegations the diet promotes high cholesterol and kidney damage, the diet continues to gain momentum. Fast-food chains are reeling from this change in consumer behavior, and are scrambling to meet the low-carb lovers' demands.

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.
