Types of diet The Atkins’ Diet Originating way back in the 1960s, the atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systems over the last few years. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it supposedly allows fat reduction but still allows you to eat many of the foods you love, eg fatty meat and egg and cheese. With the atkins diet you are supposed to eat fat and protein, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. It is often referred to as a low carb/high protein, nutrition and weight loss system. With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, including cereals and pasta made from white flour. With the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and, as a consequence, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a consequence, olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The theory of the atkins diet is that even though our bodies use both fats and carbs to burn into carbs, it is the carbs which are burned initially. If we reduce your intake of carbs, we will burn up the fat we have stored and we will lose weight. This is the bit that is contentious, not all experts concur and some believe it can sometimes be risky. The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet plan created by Miami-based cardiologist arthur agatston which emphasizes that one should consume "good carbs" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Doctor agatston developed his nutritional system for his cardiac patients, as a result of his detailed analysis of scientific data completed on other weight loss regimes. Good foods include, canadian bacon, chicken breast, fish, ricotta cheese, pistachio nuts, nonfat milk and certain vegetables, like split peas, collard greens and turnips.

"A good cook is the peculiar gift of the gods. He must be a perfect creature from the brain to the palate, from the palate to the finger's end.
"Walter Savage Landor"

"A diet is the penalty we pay for exceeding the feed limit."

"Reality check: you can never, ever, use weight loss to solve problems that are not related to your weight. At your goal weight or not, you still have to live with yourself and deal with your problems. You will still have the same husband, the same job, the same kids, and the same life. Losing weight is not a cure for life"
Phillip C. McGraw
