The Atkins’ Diet
Now nearly 5 decades old, the famous atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systems over the last few years. Although highly controversial, it allows weight reduction whilst still eating many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, for example beef and egg and cheese.
With the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. It is often referred to 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, 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 and poultry.
You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil.
