The Atkins’ Diet
Originating way back in the 1960s, the atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last few years. Popular with many famous celebrities, it claims to allow weight loss whilst allowing you to eat many foods that are not normally available to dieters, for example beef and butter. Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. Because of this, it is known as a high protein, low carb, weight loss program. 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. With this 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 'science' behind the atkins diet is that even though our bodies use both fats and carbs to burn into glucose, it is the carbohydrates which are burned first. If we eat fewer carbohydrates, our bodies will deplete the fat we have stored and we will reduce weight. This theory is divisive, not all experts are in agreement and some allege that it can be unsafe. Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes eschalot, onions and welsh onion) The onion family is high in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe could be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Although there is as yet, not enough scientific proof published, allyl sulfides are also believed to reduce the symptoms of antiinflammatory effect, arteriosclerosis and fatigue. Foods containing allyl sulfides are low in calories, so are ideal for including in your diet system. |
