Types of diet The Atkins’ Diet Originating way back 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 supposedly allows weight loss but still allows you to eat many of the foods you love, such as pork and eggs. With the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. It is often referred to 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. On the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and, as a result, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The logic behind the famous atkins diet is that although our bodies use both fats and carbs to convert into carbs, it is the carbohydrates that are burned initially. If we eat less carbs, we will utilise our fat and we will achieve weight loss. Although tempting, the atkins diet is divisive, not all researchers concur and some even feel it is sometimes bad for your health.

"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
