The Atkins’ Diet
First invented by doctor atkins in the 1960s, the popular atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last few years. Although highly controversial, it allows weight loss whilst allowing you to eat many foods that are not normally available to dieters, like pork and some dairy produce. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. It is 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, on the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The theory of the atkins diet is that if we injest less carbohydrates, we will use up our stored fat and we will become thinner The low-cal diet In simple terms, the low calorie diet is based on the fact that in order to achieve weight loss, the most important step is to take in less calories than your body requires. The calorie defined? A calorie is a measurement of the energy provided by food. The calorie is the the energy required to increase the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at normal atmospheric pressure. If something contains more calories, then it will provide your body with more energy when your body burns it. Low-cal food types include fresh green beans, watercress, watermelon, lower fat hot-dogs, and bamboo shoots. Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes garlic, chives and welsh onion) The onion, leek and garlic family is high in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe may be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer. Even though there is very little real proof published, allyl sulphides are also thought by many experts to reduce problems with blood circulation, high blood pressure and insomnia. Foods containing allyl sulfides also help you lose weight, so are ideal for including in your weight loss regime. |
