You ought to adore Cordain.  He's a true star in the paleo firmament. 
But the critics of Atkins are right in this respect: too much protein
can be harmful.  Humans are finely tuned to eat a large part of our
calories in the form of healthy fats with limited muscle meats (about
100 grams of protein a day) and seasonal carbs.  Paleo man instinctively
knew about rabbit starvation which is why in times of plenty the fatty
portions were eaten selectively a good portion of lean meat thrown to
the dogs.
