In 1963, at a weight of 224 pounds, Robert
Atkins was sick and overweight. Years of stress, work load, and poor
eating habits had taken their toll. As an American physician and
cardiologist, he knew that he needed to lose weight to become healthier.
And success was not far off. In less than two years, Dr. Atkins not
only lost weight himself, he helped over 65 patients reach their ideal
weight. Fueled by a determination to correct his own overweight
condition, Atkins could not imagine that the low-carb diet he
popularized would soon take the world by storm.
