Abstract
ABSTRACT In low-carbohydrate, high-protein (LCHP) diets, the proportion of calories from animal products is high relative to plant food intake. To better understand some of the natural resource implications of LCHP diets, this analysis compared the agricultural land requirements of a popular LCHP diet (the Atkins diet) with a diet based on USDA MyPyramid (MP) recommendations. The LCHP diet required nearly twice as much (80% more) land than the MP diet, but feeding the people who currently follow LCHP diets would only require a modest increase in the total area of land harvested for food.
