Although not accepted by all scientists, it supposedly allows weight reduction whilst allowing you to eat many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, for example beef and hard cheese. On the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, it is the carbs that must be avoided. It is often 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, including, but not limited to, cereals and pasta made from white flour. 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 olive oil. The Atkins’ Diet Theory The logic of the atkins diet is that even though our bodies use both fats and carbs to change into glucose, it is the carbohydrates which are burned first. If we take in less carbohydrates, we will utilise the fat we already carry and we will achieve weight loss. Although tempting, the atkins diet is controversial, not all nutritionalists accept this as true and some think it is sometimes hazardous. |
