Dieting 101

The Atkins’ Diet
Originating way back in the 1960s, the atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last decade. Although highly controversial, it enables fat reduction whilst allowing foods that are normally considered bad for diets, like pork and egg and cheese.
On 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 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 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.

The Atkins’ Diet Theory
The 'science' behind the atkins diet is that if we eat less carbs, our bodies will deplete our stored fat and we will lose weight
