Dr Atkins- His Legacy
Dr. Robert C. Atkins, is of course the founder of the extremely popular Atkins Diet system. The system was based on a medical study that dr atkins read in the 60s and used in order to treat his own obesity. The object of the diet is to help lower the weight of dieters by eliminating most of the carbohydrates, which would make the body burn off its fat stores in as a source of energy. Millions of people have benefited from the diet Dr Atkins first put forward in 1972. He passed on in 2003 after slipping on ice on his way to work.
