The Atkins’ Diet
First invented by doctor atkins in the 1960s, the popular atkins diet is still one of the most popular diets today. Although not accepted by all scientists, it claims to allow fat reduction but still allows you to eat many of the foods you love, such as bacon and butter.
On 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 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, including cereals and pasta made from white flour.
Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat are still nutrient-rich unprocessed foods such as meat, fish & poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter and olive oil.

The Atkins’ Diet Theory
The logic behind the popular atkins diet is that although our bodies use both fats and carbs to transform into glucose and energy, it is the carbohydrates which are burned first. If we consume less carbohydrates, we will utilise the fat we have stored and we will become thinner. This is the bit that is controversial, not all doctors accept this as true and many think it can be hazardous.
