Health Freaks: America's Diet Champions and the Specter of Chronic Illness
Travis A. Weisse

Weisse argues that millions sought “fad” diets—such as the Atkins program which ushered in the low-carbohydrate craze—to wrest control of their health from pessimistic doctors and lifelong pharmaceutical regimens.
