In medical school, there is no choice of "major": it's medicine! I presume the question refers to Dr. Atkins' undergraduate major.
Robert Atkins created the diet from a diet he read about in the Journal of the American Medical Association. First, he used it to deal with his own overweight condition. Then his first book the "Dr. Atkins' Diet Revolution" was published in 1972.
appeared on numerous radio and television talk shows, has his own syndicated radio program, Your Health Choices, and authors the monthly newsletter Dr. Atkins' Health Revelations
