    Meat, cheese, heavy cream, eggs…. For someone on a diet, these are supposed to be foods to avoid. They are high in calories, rich in fat, and detrimental to the health and figure.

    Not so, according to Dr. Robert Atkins in his theory that went on to become the the bulk popular low-carb diet scheme to date – Atkins Diet.

    Who is Dr. Atkins?

    Before anything else, it's important to know a little bit about the man who, for all intents and purposes, revolutionized how people approached diet and weight loss.

    Robert C. Atkins, M.D., is a cardiologist and the founder and executive medical director of The Atkins Center for Complementary Medicine in New York City. He has been a practicing physician for 40 years and has cared for over 60,000 patients.

    In 1951, he graduated from the University of Michigan and went on to earn his medical degree from Cornell University Medical School in 1955, and went on to specialize in cardiology.

    It was in the 1960s that Dr. Atkins first came up with the Atkins Nutritional Approach. He adopted the idea from a diet he read in the Journal of the American Medical Association and utilized it to resolve his own overweight condition following medical school and graduate medical training.

    The new diet approach was successful in over ten thousand of his patients. Afterwards, the Atkins diet became even more in favor with the publication of his book, Dr. Atkins’ Diet Revolution in 1972, which was the first of a lot series to come.

    In 1989, Dr. Atkins founded the Atkins Nutritionals of Ronkonkoma, New York, which sold licensed proprietary branding of the Atkins brand in a lot food items and associated merchandise.

    In addition to seeing patients on a everyday basis, Dr. Atkins continued to practice natural restoring arts, championing it as an alternative to pharmaceutical drugs and surgery for a lot debilitating illnesses, including acne, cancer, carpal tunnel syndrome, and depression.

    On April 8, 2003, Dr. Atkins slipped on ice and fell in front of his medical office in New York City and sustained head injuries that put him in a coma. Never recovering from his injuries, he afterward died on April 17 of kidney failure.

    There was some controversy concerning his death as it was reported that Dr. Atkins, a diet guru, died as a result of his obesity. However, these rumors were later dispelled by the hospital’s admission of their mistake in Atkins’ weight, indicating that apparent increase in weight is perhaps due to fluid retention following the failure of his main organs.
