The Atkins’ Diet
Developed by dr. robert atkins in the 1960s, the atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systems over the last few years. Although not accepted by all scientists, it claims to allow fat reduction but still allows you to eat foods that are normally considered bad for diets, eg meat and hard cheeses.
With this diet you eat protein and fat, 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, including 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 & poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil.

The Atkins’ Diet Theory
The logic behind the atkins diet is that if we injest less carbohydrates, we will deplete our fat and we will get rid of some fat

Ingredients And Procedures

1 Clove garlic, sliced

1 tb Vegetable oil

1 sm Piece of pork liver (see

-note below), minced 1 tb Ground pork

1 ts Tomato paste

1/4 c Tuong

1/2 c Water

1 1/2 ts Peanut butter

1 tb Granulated sugar

1 1/2 tb Sesame seeds

10 Roasted peanuts, coarsely

-chopped [I use unsalted -Planter's roasted Peanuts.] Thin strips of hot pepper -for garnish I prefer the following version. It's a bit more complex, but one of the ingredients might be a bit hard to find++tuong, a kind of soy bean paste used in Vietnam. A good Vietnamese market will have it. Using medium heat, fry the garlic in the oil. Add the liver and pork. Lower the heat and add the tomato paste; stir and add the tuong. Stir again and add the water and peanut butter. Raise the heat to medium and add the sugar. Boil for 1 minute and transfer to a bowl. Add the sesame seeds to a medium-hot frying pan, stirring constantly until browned. This should take 2 to 3 minutes. Add the sesame seeds to the nuoc leo, along with the chopped peanuts. The sauce can be garnished with thin strips of hot pepper. NOTE: Beef or chicken liver can be substituted, but pork liver is preferred. The piece should be the size of a large chicken liver.
