Versions of the Atkins Diet are among the most popular diets for westerners trying to reduce weight. An eating regime that is very low in carbohydrate, high in protein, high in fat, it is very effective in dropping weight, and many people make it their permanent eating style.

However, a study from Australia, comparing this "ketogenic" diet (mimicking starvation by forcing the body to burn fats rather than carbohydrates) with the standard high-carbohydrate, low-fat, energy-restricted diet for obesity treatment, showed an unexpected downside.

Dieters who stayed on the low-carb diet for more than a year had low moods compared to the high carb dieters, whose mood improved.
