The Atkins’ Diet
Originating way back in the 1960s, the atkins diet is still one of the most popular diets today. Popular with many famous celebrities, it supposedly allows fat reduction whilst encouraging you to eat many of the foods you love, for example meat and hard cheese.
With this diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, it is the carbs that must be avoided. 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.
Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil.
