Not really- Dr Atkins and I think the Eadses (Protein Power) talk about the Inuit (Eskimos) who did quite well on an all-meat diet, and some scientists even tried it for a year and were fine.
You have to make sure you're getting your vitamins though- take supplements especially Vitamin C and Potassium. You would even do well to add in some veggies to make up the carbs (up to 20 g /day)- this is healthier and will be better for your digestive system.
I think Atkins said that he didn't see any difference in weight loss between his patients who ate 0 grams of carbs a day and those who ate 20 (and so he set 20 as the starting point for induction).
