Hi Thelma,
I, too, have never heard of Dr Atkins saying anything along the lines of 70% fat being too much.
Although I don't know the origin of the 70/25/5 ratio, I do know that they are the best numbers for me.
I'm also sure that Dr A doesn't care about the numbers of anything except carbs. In fact, I believe he specifically says that only carbs need to be counted. Several times members here have emailed the Atkins centre to ask about calorie consumption and are invariably told they only need count carbs.
Perhaps you could email the Atkins Centre for a definitive answer?
