The Atkins’ Diet
First invented by doctor atkins in the 1960s, the popular atkins diet achieved most of its fame during the last decade. Although not accepted by all scientists, it enables weight reduction but still allows you to eat foods that are normally considered bad for diets, eg pork and cheeses.
With the atkins diet you are encouraged to eat meat and fat, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. Because of this, it is known as a high protein, low carb, diet.
With this diet, the foods you should avoid are processed and refined sugar, milk, white bread, starchy vegetables, white rice and white flour, amongst them, 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 and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil.

The Atkins’ Diet Theory
The theory of the atkins diet is that although our bodies use both fats and carbs to burn into carbs, it is the carbs which are burned first. If we eat less carbohydrates, our bodies will use up our stored fat and we will diet successfully. This is the bit that is divisive, not all medical experts agree and some feel it is sometimes risky.
