Dr. Eric C. Westman, co-author of 'The New Atkins for a New You,' talks about how the famed diet has changed and why it can benefit just about anyone.Dr. Robert Atkins shook up the nutrition establishment in 1972 when he published "Dr. Atkins' Diet Revolution." In that book and others that followed, he asserted that dieters could lose weight eating bacon, eggs, steak and rich sauces. His low-carb diet has remained controversial even as its popularity has waxed and waned through the years.
