The Atkins’ Diet
First invented by doctor atkins in the 1960s, the atkins diet is still one of the most popular diets today. Although not accepted by all scientists, it allows fat reduction whilst allowing many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, for example bacon and cheeses.
Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. It is referred to as a low carbohydrate/high protein, diet system.
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 nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish & poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil.

The Atkins’ Diet Theory
The theory of the famous atkins diet is that although our bodies use both fats and carbohydrates to burn into energy, it is the carbs which are burned initially. If we eat less carbs, our bodies will utilize the fat we already carry and we will diet successfully. Although tempting, the atkins diet is divisive, not all medical experts are in agreement and a good number of allege that it might be unsafe.
