Atkins, Robert Coleman

Atkins, Robert Coleman
▪ 2004

      American cardiologist and nutritionist (b. Oct. 17, 1930, Columbus, Ohio—d. April 17, 2003, New York, N.Y.), wrote seven best-selling diet books—beginning in 1972 with Dr. Atkins' Diet Revolution—advocating that dieters adopt his controversial weight-loss plan that counseled them to consume large amounts of fats and protein and to minimize their intake of carbohydrates. Although for many years a large number of health experts deemed that diet potentially dangerous, later studies showed it to be effective and nondetrimental to health; further research was planned.
