When did we become such a nation of whiners pointing fingers and eyeballing big pots of money as compensation for bad decisions we've made or things we don't feel we should put up with? At least this guy isn't suing for mega-millions - he's already a millionaire - hoping instead to recover his costs, and have warning labels on anything bearing the diet's name. It's curious why he didn't stop Atkins after his cholesterol reached dangerous levels. Denial, maybe. Interesting too that it appears Dr. Atkins himself had heart problems, although you have to consider the anti-Atkins source.
I'll stick to moderation theory: Don't overdo anything including overeating. If it goes to extremes, question in depth and be skeptical, even. I've never considered Atkins because of the high fat, and thinking of following it over the long term always seemed outlandish to me.

My greatest fear is that there is no PMS and this is my personality.

Time invested in improving ourselves cuts down on time disapproving of others.
