The Veronica Atkins Foundation was established for the purpose of educating people of all ages about the benefits of the Atkins Lifestyle by providing easy- to- understand information and resources to adopt this healthy way of eating.

The Foundation’s core beliefs are that controlling both the quality and quantity of carbohydrates is important for disease prevention and health maintenance. It is a particularly important tool for weight management, and the prevention and treatment of the rapidly escalating epidemic of type 2 diabetes and its complications.
