To help with weight issues and for overall improved health, many people turn to diets. In fact, government statistics show that while about 65 percent of Americans are overweight, 38 percent are actually doing something about it.

And according to a recent survey by the National Health Institute, about a third of overweight Americans who are trying to lose weight, are doing so by eating less carbohydrates (carbs) largely because of the increased popularity of fad diets like Atkins Diet and the South Beach Diet.

The term low carb, however, wasn’t coined until 1992. The USDA announced America’s model food. Which included six to 11 servings of grains and starches daily. Low carb ring, though, dates back more than 100 years before trendy high-protein diets. In 1864 William Banting wrote a pamphlet titled a letter on corpulence that described in the first commercial low carb diet.

The most popular high-protein diets/low-carb diets are:

1. Atkins Diet 2. Carbohydrate Addict’s Diet 3. Hampton’s Diet 4. The Glycemic Index Diet 5. NeanderThin 6. Protein Power 7. Schwarzbein Principle 8. Somersizing 9. South Beach Diet 10. Sugar Busters! 11. The Zone 12. Thin for Good 13. The 7-Day Low-Carb Rescue and Recovery Plan 14. Living Low-Carb
