Superfoods containing flavonoids (inlcudes onion, cabbage, soya beans and dill) The compounds known as flavonoids present in these fruit and vegetables are thought to have properties in fighting cancer. Doctors looking into the medical effects of flavonoids suspect that they could also have numerous other benefits to our health, including, but not limited to, antiviral and antiplatelet capabilities. The majority of these are also good for weight loss, so you should add them to your diet. The Atkins’ Diet Developed by dr. robert atkins in the 1960s, the atkins diet is still widely used today. Popular with many famous celebrities, it claims to allow fat reduction but still allows you to eat many foods that are not normally available to dieters, like fatty meat and eggs. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. It is referred to as a low carb/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 cereals and pasta made from white flour. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The controversial theory behind the atkins diet is that even though our bodies use both fats and carbohydrates to burn into carbs, it is the carbs which are burned primarily. If we eat less carbs, we will deplete the fat we have stored and we will achieve weight loss. This theory is controversial, not all nutritionalists are in agreement and quite a few allege that it is often dangerous. |
