![]() Atkins Warns Consumers About Low-Carbohydrate Product FrenzyConsumers need to understand how to do low-carb right; then read labels to ensure that food products fit their needs.
"Atkins products are specifically designed to help people succeed as they are doing each of the four phases of Atkins," says Ms. Heimowitz. "We are careful to label our products truthfully and with the consumers' success in doing Atkins in mind. But even our products should be used as part of a dedicated approach to improving one's health and, not as a dietary short cut. Doing Atkins doesn't just mean lowering carbs; it is a new way of eating that brings healthy carbs into a proper balance with proteins and fats. Consumers should not let a fad approach to food marketing sway them from their commitment to doing Atkins for their own well-being." In the 80s and 90s consumers flocked to their grocery stores and loaded up on products that touted low-fat content, and yet, in the last decade, the incidence of obesity has risen to epidemic proportions in this country. Now, the buzz is around low carb. From salad dressings and condiments to pastas and breads. But will these low-carb products fulfill the promise that low fat didn't? "The consumer needs to be educated," says Ms. Heimowitz. "Picking up just anything with a low and/or net carb claim on the label isn't enough. Even reading the nutritional information on the back of a box isn't going to tell consumers the whole story. They need to read the ingredients and understand what affect those ingredients have on their blood sugar." Atkins continues to educate consumers that the best food choices are nutrient-dense whole foods with a healthy balance of proteins, good fats and good carbohydrates. "It's about doing Atkins right," continues Heimowitz. "Atkins urges consumers to use legitimate low-carb products as part of a comprehensive effort to meet their nutrition and health goals. Some of these new non-Atkins low-carb products are great, but shoppers have to look at these foods with a critical eye."
