The Atkins’ Diet
Now nearly 5 decades old, the atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last decade. Although not accepted by all scientists, it claims to allow weight loss whilst still eating many of the foods you love, for example pork and some dairy produce.
With the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. It is often 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, amongst them, cereals and pasta made from white flour.
On the atkins 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 and olive oil.

The Atkins’ Diet Theory
The 'science' behind the atkins diet is that if we take in fewer carbs, our bodies will consume the fat we already carry and we will reduce weight

Ingredients And Procedures

5 ts Cinnamon

3 c Coarsley chopped walnuts

1 lb Sweet butter; melted

1 lb Phyllo pastry sheets

40 Whole cloves

1 2" strip of orange peel

1 2" strip of lemon peel

1 Cinnamon stick

1/3 c Honey

1/2 Lemon; juiced

In a medium bowl place the cinnamon and walnuts, and mix them together. Brush the bottom of a 14" x 20" baking dish with the butter. Place one pastry sheet in the dish and brush it with the butter. Repeat this process so that 6 pastry sheets line the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle 1/3 of the nut mixture over the top of the pastry sheets. Repeat this process so that there are 3 layers of the nut mixture and 4 layers of 6 buttered pastry sheets, ending with 6 pastry sheets.

Cut the baklava into 40 diamond shaped pieces. Insert a whole clove in the top of each piece. Preheat the oven to 350 F. Bake the baklava for 40 minutes, or until it is golden brown. In a medium saucepan place the sugar, water, orange peel, lemon peel, and cinnamon stick. Bring the ingredients to a boil and then simmer them for 5 minutes. Add the honey and bring the mixture to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and add the lemon juice. Stir the ingredients together and then let the syrup cool. Remove the orange and lemon peels, and the cinnamon stick. Spread the cool syrup over the hot baklava. Cover the dish with a towel and let it sit for 1 hour before serving.
