According to a recent national poll of 801 adults, the possible side effects of a low-carbohydrate diet such as high cholesterol, constipation, kidney stones, and increased risk of some cancers, "tip the scales" against following such a diet for a full 50% of Americans. In contrast, more than one-third (36%) say they are willing to take the chance to realize some weight loss, with 4% reporting any amount of pounds shed would be "worth it." <br />"We've turned a corner in public awareness," observed Jennifer Grossman, Director of the Dole Nutrition Institute. "The more people learn about low- carb health risks, the less appetite they have for such dangerous fad diets." Coming on the heels of The Lancet medical journal's survey suggesting such side effects as headaches, fatigue and foul breath are more frequently reported by low-carb dieters than those on conventional regimens, the Dole Poll findings are more evidence that the Atkins bubble has burst. <br />This backlash is already affecting the grocery industry, with less than half the numbers of low-carb products introduced in 2004 than in 2003, and sales figures showing that many of these products are discounted or off the shelves weeks after introduction. Some industry experts even project that two-thirds of the products introduced this year will be off the shelves by 2006. <br />Other questions and results included: <br />Question: As you may be aware, some Americans are trying to lose weight by eating fewer carbohydrates. This is often referred to as the "Atkins" diet. Which of the following aspects of a low-carbohydrate diet do you find most appealing? 27% SIGNIFICANT WEIGHT LOSS <br />18% FACT THAT YOU CAN EAT BIG PORTIONS OF MEAT, CHEESE, AND CREAM AND <br />STILL LOSE WEIGHT <br />13% SIMPLICITY OF THE DIET/EASY TO FOLLOW <br />2% THE POPULARITY OF THE PROGRAM/OTHER PEOPLE DOING IT <br />25% DEPENDS/UNSURE/DON'T KNOW (VOLUNTEERED) <br />7% TOTAL OTHER (VOLUNTEERED) <br />7% REFUSED (VOLUNTEERED) <br />Question: Which of the following aspects of a low-carbohydrate diet do you find to be least appealing? 39% SIDE EFFECTS LIKE KIDNEY STONES, HIGH CHOLESTEROL, AND INCREASED <br />RISK OF HEART DISEASE <br />17% DIFFICULTY TO KEEP WEIGHT OFF OVER THE LONG TERM <br />13% BOREDOM WITH THE SAME ROUTINE IN THE FOODS EATEN <br />8% SIDE EFFECTS LIKE CONSTIPATION, BAD BREATH OR DEPRESSED MOOD <br />15% DEPENDS/UNSURE/DON'T KNOW (VOLUNTEERED) <br />3% TOTAL OTHER (VOLUNTEERED) <br />4% REFUSED (VOLUNTEERED) <br />Key Demographic Findings: <br />* Men and women alike were most swayed by the number of pounds shed, an <br />aspect that especially appealed to the women surveyed (29% women, 24% <br />men). Women were also more likely than men to enjoy the simplicity of <br />the diet itself (15% women, 11% men), while in contrast, men were more <br />receptive than women to the fact that portions of such fatty foods as <br />meat and cheese are virtually unrestricted (22% men, 15% women) -- a <br />previously noted cause or effect that has lead some observers to bill <br />Atkins the "man's diet." <br />* Notably, a full 25% of those surveyed said that they were "unsure," <br />"lacked information," or simply "did not know enough" to respond to this <br />question and choose among the four aspects. This suggests the limited <br />popularity of low-carb diets, which have achieved "mainstream" status <br />(available and known to a majority of Americans) but which have failed <br />to realize a critical "mass" in its subscribership (actually followed <br />by a majority of Americans). <br />* Having a family significantly raises concern about the negative health <br />effects of a low-carb lifestyle. Married folks were much more likely <br />than their single counterparts to select side effects like kidney <br />stones, high cholesterol, and increased risk of heart disease as least <br />appealing (married 44%, singles 30%, separated, divorced or widowed <br />36%). Parents were also more likely than non-parents to be most <br />concerned about these possible negative health consequences (47% v. <br />34%). <br />* Younger Americans demonstrated a degree of fickleness in the necessary <br />number of pounds that must be shed to outweigh the risky side effects. <br />These 18-34-year-olds said that losing either a few pounds (1-20) or a <br />few spare tires (40 pounds or more) would justify the risk. In <br />comparison, 45-64-year-olds were most consistent compared to others in <br />their weight loss requirements. <br />The Dole Nutrition Institute is a research and education organization dedicated to promoting the health benefits of fruits and vegetables with regard to weight management and disease prevention. More information and a free, bi-monthly nutrition newsletter is available at <br />the polling company(TM), inc./WomanTrend is a full-service public opinion research firm in Washington DC and New York. This study is the inaugural edition of the "Dole Poll," a regular endeavor commissioned by the Dole Nutrition Institute that monitors public opinion and consumer attitudes and behavior, and seeks to explore timely and unique topics of interest. <br />The national telephone survey was fielded September 7-9, 2004 and has a margin of error of +/-3.5% at the 95% confidence level.
