The Atkins’ Diet
Developed by dr. robert atkins in the 1960s, the famous atkins diet is still widely used today. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it supposedly allows fat reduction whilst allowing you to eat foods that are normally considered bad for diets, such as beef and cheeses. 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 referred to as a low carbohydrate/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 this diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are 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 'science' behind the famous atkins diet is that although our bodies use both fats and carbs to transform into carbs, it is the carbohydrates that are burned initially. If we eat fewer carbohydrates, our bodies will utilise our fat and we will lose weight. Although tempting, the atkins diet is divisive, not all medical experts concur and a good number of feel it is sometimes risky. Foods containing allyl sulfides ( includes eschalot, onions and green onion) The onion family of vegetables 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 little scientific evidence published, allyl sulfides are also believed to reduce symptoms with blood circulation, sterilization and diabetes. Foods containing allyl sulfides are also good for weight loss, so are ideal for including in your weight loss program. |
