Atkins
Famous weight-loss approach
Atkins refers to the Atkins diet, a weight-loss regimen that drastically restricts carbohydrate intake while permitting liberal consumption of protein and fat.
Named after cardiologist Robert Atkins, who popularized it in the 1970s, the diet influenced a wave of low-carb eating plans: I lost thirty pounds on Atkins.
As an adjective, it describes foods compatible with the diet: Atkins-friendly recipes.
