The Atkins’ Diet
First invented by doctor atkins in the sixities, the atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last few years. Although not accepted by all scientists, it claims to allow fat reduction whilst allowing you to eat foods that are normally considered bad for diets, such as pork and eggs.
Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. It is often referred to as a low carbohydrate/high protein, weight loss regime.
With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, amongst them, 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 poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil.

The Atkins’ Diet Theory
The controversial theory behind the popular atkins diet is that even though our bodies use both fats and carbohydrates to change into glucose and energy, it is the carbohydrates which are burned first. If we injest less carbohydrates, our bodies will burn up our fat and we will reduce weight. This is the bit that is controversial, not all doctors are in agreement and quite a few believe it can sometimes be risky.




The Glycaemic Index Diet
The glycaemic index diet system is based on the gi (or glycaemic index), a chart showing types of food and an indicator of the speed that the glucose and energy of the food type gets transformed to glucose in your bloodstream. The theory is that slow acting food types (ie with a low Glycaemic score), keep you feeling full longer and help to take in fewer food without feeling you are always hungry.
It's also extremeley useful for people with diabetes, as the low GI food types are beneficial in minimizing surges in blood sugar levels.

"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
