The Atkins’ Diet
Now nearly 5 decades old, the popular atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systems over the last few years. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it supposedly allows fat reduction whilst allowing many of the foods you love, like bacon and hard cheeses.
Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet you are supposed to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. Because of this, it is known as a high protein, low carb, diet.
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.
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.
