NEW YORK (AP) -- Dr. Robert Atkins, whose popular diet stresses protein-rich meat and cheese over carbohydrates, weighed 258 pounds at his death and had a history of heart disease, a newspaper reported Tuesday.
Atkins died last April at age 72 after being injured in a fall on an icy street.
Before his death, he had suffered a heart attack, congestive heart failure and hypertension, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing a report by the city medical examiner.
At 258 pounds, the 6-foot-tall Atkins would have qualified as obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's body-mass index calculator.

The brewmaster I work with just made a lo-carb beer for this trend, it blows, its incorrect by brewing standards, zymurgically wrong, but its much better than any bud or miller crap. I think its funny because all this food and stuff was already available, its just the lazy fat fucks can't do shit for themselves...
