Answer 1

It's actually PeTA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Aminals) that's behind it, through their affilliate the Physicians Council for Responsible Medicine (PCRM), which shares office and staff with PeTA and only about 5% of PCRM's members are actually doctors. They are all rabid animal rights activists and vegans. They stole Dr. Atkins' medical records and then twisted them out of context to make him look bad, because they don't want people eating meat.

Yes, Atkins DID have VIRAL cardiomyopathy. This means his heart issues were caused by a virus, not by his diet.

Probably some idiot like Richard Simmons made that story up so people wouldn't spend their money on Atkins diet products/books, and would instead run out to buy his "deal a meal " and dance tapes where he frolics around in glittery spandex. The dieting industry is a HUGE one! No one wants to lose millions to a man who figured out a diet that REALLY works! What better way to stay rich than to make up a lie?

Answer 3

The story exists because it is the belief that his diet would lead to a heart attack. The absolute opposite is true. Anyone familiar with the true Atkins diet knows that. You can do this lifestyle even if you are not dieting. It is healthy and it allows your body to achieve to the best of its ability.

Answer 4

For an average person who does not need to lose a lot of weight, Atkins diet is not the best choice. A lot of people have lost a lot of weight on the Atkins diet, and that's great. The only reason it has a bad reputation is because for the average person, it's not healthy. It works because you are tricking your body, not eating more healthily. A healthy diet is balanced and high in fruits and vegetables. It also works because many people do not like the idea of having to eat lots of fruits and vegies in place of highly processed sugary and floury foods, and are more likely to eat meat. Any food in place of this unhealthy food is good. So, for many, Atkins works. However, aside from weight loss, it's not "healthy." This is why people refer to it as "bad."

Answer 5

The story I always heard was that he slipped on some ice and hit his head. The injuries were bad enough to end his life. I don't know where the rumor about the heart attack came from. It sounds like one of those stories that keeps being repeated until most people who hear it believe it's true.
