The Atkins’ Diet
First invented by doctor atkins in the 1960s, the atkins diet is still one of the most popular diets today. Although highly controversial, it allows weight loss whilst allowing many foods that are not normally available to dieters, like bacon and hard cheeses.
With the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, avoiding carbohydrates almost completely. It is 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.
Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet the foods you are encouraged to eat continues to be nutrient-rich unprocessed foods like meat, fish & poultry.
You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil.
