The once taboo bread products might be making a comeback as a survey revealed that the low-carb craze seems to have begun to lose it's appeal to the American public. Results from the survey showed that less than 10 percent of Americans are following some form of low-carb diet such as Atkins, South Beach and The Zone.
Another survey that included 500 Americans revealed that less than one out of five of the survey participants would consider purchasing a low-carb product. The main reason cited for those who wouldn't consider buying low-carb items was that they felt they were unsafe. These findings posed concerns to U.S. food companies such as H.J. Heinz and General Mills after their production of various low-carb products that were released to satisfy the needs of low-carb followers.
In addition, both PepsiCo Inc. and Coca-Cola Co could see signs of a decreasing popularity of low-carb foods in the sluggish sales of mid-calorie colas that they introduced.

So much for the low-carb diet craze, as more and more people are becoming disappointed with the results or lack thereof.
It's not very surprising to me that Americans are giving up on their low-carb diets.
Why?
People are abandoning them because they don't work for two-thirds of the population who try them.
These large groups of people have metabolic types that make a low-carb diet unhealthy and unsatisfying for them. For more about why popular low-carb diets don't work, check out my articles about the South Beach Diet and the Atkins Diet.
