The Atkins’ Diet
Although it originated back in the 1960s, the atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systems over the last few years. Popular with many famous celebrities, it supposedly allows weight reduction whilst encouraging you to eat many foods that are not normally available to dieters, eg lamb and some dairy produce. On the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that must be avoided. It is often referred to as a low carbohydrate/high protein, diet 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, but not limited to, cereals and pasta made from white flour. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat continues to be nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish & poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The theory of the famous atkins diet is that if we injest less carbs, our bodies will use up the fat we have stored and we will achieve weight loss Flavonoid superfoods (inlcudes garlic, broccoli, adzuki bean & basil) The nutrients known as flavonoids which exist in these natural foods are believed to be helpful in preventing cancer.

Most are also good for weight loss, so should be included in every weight loss program. |
