Losing weight
The Atkins’ Diet
Developed by dr. robert atkins in the 1960s, the famous atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systms over the last few years. Popular with many famous celebrities, it enables fat reduction whilst allowing foods that are normally considered bad for diets, for example beef and hard cheeses.
On the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. Because of this, it is known as a low carb/high protein, weight loss regime.
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 still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and poultry.
You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil.
