The Atkins’ Diet
First invented by doctor atkins in the 1960s, the famous atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last few years. Although highly controversial, it claims to allow fat reduction whilst allowing many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, for example fatty meat and egg and cheese. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that must be avoided. It is often referred to as a low carb/high protein, weight loss program. 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 are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish & 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 if we consume less carbohydrates, our bodies will burn up our stored fat and we will diet successfully The low calorie diet Put simply, low calorie diet says that if you are going to achieve weight loss, then you have to take in fewer calories than you need. The calorie defined? A calorie is a measurement of the energy provided by food. The 'calorie' is the the amount of energy required to raise the temperature of 1 gram of water by 1 degree centigrade at atmospheric pressure. If a meal has higher calories, then it will turn into more energy when your body burns it. Examples of low calorie foods include lettuce, mushrooms, apricots, ground turkey, and low-fat cheese. Healthy foods with carotenes (includes paprika, rose hip puree and tomato ketchup) These orange and green foods have high levels of carotenes (alpha and beta) thought by experts play a key part in preventing cancer, specifically those cancers involving the lungs and stomach. A good number also have a low calorie count, so should be included in your diet system. |
