From your link :
''In April 2002, Atkins was hospitalized after he went into cardiac arrest, which he said in a statement was ''in no way related to diet''.''


Year before he died he had cardiac arrest and the reason he fall was a blood clut in he brain .


Regardless of he death : Even he admitted it's a BS.

atkins died in his 70th,and not from heart problems,

הוא מת בגיל מבוגר למדי, מתאונה.
הוא החליק על מדרכה מכוסה קרח וקיבל מכה קשה בראש.

לדיאטה שלו יש הרבה יתרונות, וגם חסרונות. היא מתאימה בעיקר לאנשים שמכורים לפחממות, שלא מצליחים לשמור שום דיאטה אחרת.
בדיאטה של אטקינס, אחריי שלושה ימים קשים בהתחלה, ניגמלים מהפחממות ויורדים יפה במשקל.

אך כמובן לא קל לוותר על הפחממות לעולם.

the cause of death was ''blunt impact injury of head with epidural hematoma.'' He was critically injured when he struck his head in a fall on an icy Manhattan street.'' According to his death certificate.

Just before Dr. Fatkins died he admitted that his theory is really over-rated and that the scientific evidances are very weak.
In other words : Nothing but a great marketing flop !!!!


The trick in Fatkins diet is that by trying to avoid the carbs you actualy don't eat much calories
