Welcome back!
A profile of Dr. Robert Atkins, the diet doctor diet whose theories on nutrition have changed the way Americans think about eating. Atkins’s low-carb approach and 4-step program have become an obsession for many people at a time when two-thirds of Americans are overweight or obese. But the Atkins diet has its detractors, some of whom say that its emphasis on high-cholesterol foods can make it dangerous.

“Chocolate is not part of the Atkins diet, and that was my downfall.”
The sweets you buy at the store are certainly bad… but you can make your own low-carb hot chocolate with unsweetened cocoa.
“…Cuts out the foods we should be eating… whole grains…”
It’s sad how people have been brainwashed into thinking that grains are essential in the diet when they simply aren’t even natural for us to eat.

lots of people tried to sell this kind of diet…what made Atkins successful is that he got aggressive with people to break through people’s food addiction
Personal finance guru, Dave Ramsey is successful similiarly. Dave’s wealth plan is simple and everyone knows that it would work; however, Dave has to call people’s behavior foolish, selfish, stupid, etc. to break through people’s self-destructive beliefs.
