Yeah, but Atkins and LCHF should not be mixed up. In Atkins you're still excluding fat meanwhile in LCHF it's something you should plenty of.

This is incorrect. Atkins advocated eating a considerable % of fat right from the beginning of the diet. He figured out you need to do that to shift your body to burning fat instead of waiting for more carbs.

This was in sharp contrast to the theories of the 1970's when he first advocated the diet, and this nonconventional approach was part of why it took a long time before other experimenters provided objective evidence showing he was right.

He started a pretty large research institute and his ideas have gradually been accepted in the mainstream nutrition literature, I've had regular MDs tell me their patients have done well on Atkins. It's not "bro science."
