Diet Basmati Rice With Lemon And Thyme Recipe brought to you by Diet Recipes To-Go
Types of dietThe Atkins’ Diet Developed by dr. robert atkins in the 1960s, the atkins diet is still one of the most popular diets today. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it allows fat reduction whilst allowing many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, eg pork and hard cheeses. With the atkins diet you are supposed to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. Because of this, it is known as a low carb/high protein, nutrition and weightloss 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. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat continues to be 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 'science' behind the atkins diet is that although our bodies use both fats and carbohydrates to convert into glucose and energy, it is the carbs which are burned primarily. If we eat less carbohydrates, we will consume our stored fat and we will achieve weight loss. This is the bit that is controversial, not all nutritionalists concur and some experts allege that it is sometimes hazardous. |
