Types of diet The Atkins’ Diet First invented by doctor atkins in the sixities, the atkins diet is still widely used today. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it enables fat reduction whilst encouraging you to eat many foods that are not normally available to dieters, eg beef and butter. With the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, it is the carbs that must be avoided. Because of this, it is known 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 nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and, as a consequence, olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The logic of the atkins diet is that if we eat less carbs, our bodies will use up the fat we already carry and we will reduce weight The South Beach Diet The South Beach diet is a diet created by Cardiologist arthur agatston which encourages that one should eat "good carbohydrates" instead of "bad carbs" and "good fats" instead of "bad fats" Agatston developed his nutritional system for his cardiac patients, based on his detailed study of scientific research on other weight loss regimes. Approved foods include, lean beef, skinless poultry, shellfish, fat-free cheeses, peanuts, lowfat yoghurt and certain vegetables, such as kidney beans, cauliflower and water chestnuts.

"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
