Dieting tips

The Atkins’ Diet
Although it originated back in the 1960s, the famous atkins diet has been one of the most popular weight loss systems over the last few years. Popular with many famous celebrities, it allows weight loss whilst allowing you to eat foods that are normally considered bad for diets, eg beef and egg and cheese.
Unlike other diets, with the atkins diet it is considered good to eat fat and protein, it is carbohydrates that need to be avoided. It is often referred to as a low carb/high protein, diet.
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 still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil.

The Atkins’ Diet Theory
The logic behind the famous atkins diet is that if we consume less carbohydrates, we will utilize the fat we have stored and we will lose weight
