Dieting tips
The Atkins’ Diet
Developed by dr. robert atkins in the 1960s, the atkins diet is still one of the most popular diets today. Although not accepted by all scientists, it allows weight reduction whilst still eating many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, eg bacon and egg and cheese.
On the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, it is the carbs that must be avoided. 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, including, but not limited to, cereals and pasta made from white flour.
Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish & poultry.
You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil.
