Dieting 101

The Atkins’ Diet
Now nearly 5 decades old, the atkins diet is still one of the most popular diets today. Although highly controversial, it allows weight reduction whilst allowing you to eat many foods that would not be part of a normal diet, such as pork and butter.
With the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. It is referred to as a low carb/high protein, 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.
Unlike other diets, 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 & olive oil.

The Atkins’ Diet Theory
The controversial theory behind the popular atkins diet is that even though our bodies use both fats and carbohydrates to change into glucose, it is the carbohydrates which are burned initially. If we consume fewer carbohydrates, our bodies will use our stored fat and we will become thinner. Although tempting, the atkins diet is controversial, not all experts accept this as true and many feel it is often bad for your health.
