Dr. Atkins fell, went into a coma for a week and died in 2003.
The family did not have an autopsy done so the heart attack is rumor.
It can be checked on snopes.com....btw.

Later his diet was further researched and developed into the Ketogenic diet...
way less protein, (not so hard on the kidneys, btw), increased fat, low carbs.
Dr. Atkins diet was no carbs for the first 2 weeks, btw...it introduced carbs slowly after that.
It was never a no carb diet for more than those first 2 weeks.

A person had a rich variety of vegetables...later many fruits were allowed...

Oh, and I agree...that is too much water on his list.

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru
