The Atkins’ Diet Originating way back in the 1960s, the famous atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last few years. Although highly controversial, it supposedly allows fat reduction whilst still eating many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, for example lamb and hard cheese. Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet you are supposed to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. Because of this, it is known 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, amongst them, cereals and pasta made from white flour. With the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish & poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil. |
