Wrong - Atkins claims one can eat cheese all day long - that's not high protein - it's high fat. Big difference.

He also advocated eating read meat. His first big selling book, ''Dr. Atkins' Diet Revolution'' advocated primarily low-carb/high protein diet. Do you deny that or is it your selective omission in a sort of tail-chasing rationalization you use to support calling Atkins a huckster? Just why do you think Atkins is a huckster and is it a primary point of his or some tangential point he made that you arrived at your "huckster" conclusion.

huh? since when? Cheese has as much protein as fat. Your average unprocessed cup of cheese is 33 grams of fat and 31 grams of protein. That's alot of protein considering that the average person has 85 grams a day total. Even so, in RECENT renditions of Atkins books he does limit cheese because of the high protein. It used to be on the unlimited list. Too much protein is as bad as too much carbs.
