The Atkins’ Diet
Originating way back in the 1960s, the atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last decade. Although not accepted by all scientists, it enables fat reduction but still allows you to eat many foods that are not normally available to dieters, eg lamb and eggs.
Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet you are supposed to eat fat and protein, it is the carbs that must 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, including cereals and pasta made from white flour.
On 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 and olive oil.
