Dieting tips

The Atkins’ Diet
Originating way back in the 1960s, the atkins diet is still one of the most popular diets today. Although highly controversial, it allows weight reduction whilst allowing many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, eg bacon and hard cheese.
With this diet you are supposed to eat fat and protein, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. Because of this, it is known as a high protein, low carb, 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.
With the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat continues to be nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish & poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil.

The Atkins’ Diet Theory
The 'science' behind the famous atkins diet is that although our bodies use both fats and carbohydrates to transform into carbs, it is the carbs that are burned first. If we consume fewer carbs, our bodies will burn up our stored fat and we will become thinner. This theory is divisive, not all specialists accept this as true and many feel it is sometimes hazardous.
