Atkins diet foods affected many businesses when gained popularity
Atkins diet foods gained popularity in the early years of this century when they reached peak of success. Many businesses were severely affected by that. Sales of all the foods containing high carbohydrates went down. Similarly many multinational companies introduced their zero sugar products so that they get the sales volume back after facing problems from Atkins success.
That effect remained for some time even after the death of Atkins. Some businesses are even affected today because Atkins diet foods are considered among the top options.
