Weight loss diets The Atkins’ Diet Now nearly 5 decades old, the atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systms over the last few years. Although not accepted by all scientists, it supposedly allows fat reduction whilst still eating foods that are normally considered bad for diets, eg lamb and eggs. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. It is often referred to as a low carbohydrate, high protein, diet. 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, with the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat continues to be 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 theory of the atkins diet is that although our bodies use both fats and carbohydrates to change into glucose, it is the carbs which are burned primarily. If we cut down on carbohydrates, our bodies will consume the fat we have stored and we will become thinner. Although tempting, the atkins diet is divisive, not all experts concur and some even allege that it is sometimes dangerous.

"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
