The Atkins’ Diet Now nearly 5 decades old, the popular atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systems over the last few years. Although highly controversial, it claims to allow weight reduction whilst encouraging you to eat many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, for example pork and butter. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. Because of this, it is known as a low carb/high protein, weight loss program. With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including, but not limited to, cereals and pasta made from white flour.
