Types of diet The Atkins’ Diet Originating way back in the 1960s, the famous atkins diet is still one of the most popular diets today. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it allows weight loss whilst still eating many of the foods you love, like fatty meat and cheeses. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. It is referred to 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. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat continues to be nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and, as a consequence, poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The 'science' behind the famous atkins diet is that even though our bodies use both fats and carbohydrates to transform into glucose, it is the carbohydrates that are burned primarily. If we reduce your intake of carbs, our bodies will burn up the fat we already carry and we will become thinner. Although tempting, the atkins diet is controversial, not all doctors are in agreement and a few believe it is sometimes hazardous.

"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
