Default Protein limits on Atkins?

I read a comment in the Protein Power forum saying that "Atkins" asserts that "too much" protein caused glucose production and fat storage. The writer thought this was stupid.

My question is: does Atkins in fact limit protein? My understanding was that while fat is the only nutrient that doesn't cause an insulin response, protein causes a relatively mild insulin response, and so the diet is properly called high fat rather than high protein. But does Atkins anywhere advocate eating less protein than most people would eat on Protein Power?
