Because you MUST do it properly, or it WILL be very unhealthy. If you don't follow it correctly, which many people don't, its quite bad for you.

You think eating high fat meats and tons of colesterol prolonged his life, and didn't have anything to do with his heart condition?

Yeah, dead not related to the diet at all.NEW YORK (CNN) -- Dr. Robert Atkins, creator of the high-protein, low-carbohydrate Atkins Diet, died Thursday after an accidental fall on April 8 left him comatose.

It worked in that it made people lose weight. I, and most members of the medical community, don't think completely cutting carbohydrates out of your diet to be healthy.

I haven't read the book, but I have read what it is about. Here are some quotes from a yahoo news aricle about his death. Article here
"Atkins first advocated his unorthodox weight-loss plan ? which emphasizes meat, eggs and cheese and discourages bread, rice and fruit"
"On the Atkins diet, up to two-thirds of calories may come from fat ? more than double the usual recommendation, and violating what medical professionals have long believed about healthy eating"
For one, vegetable protiens IMO are heathly than animal proteins, based on the impact they have on your body. That opinion varies on who you talk with, or what books you read. Diary based products are something humans were never meant to eat in the first place. About the only good parts of his diet plans health wise are nuts and veggies. I know this flame war has been beaten to death before on here, so won't waste anymore of your time with it.
