Dieting 101

The Atkins’ Diet
First invented by doctor atkins in the sixities, the atkins diet is still widely used today. Having many well known film stars amongst its supporters, it supposedly allows weight loss whilst allowing many of the foods you love, for example meat and hard cheese.
Unlike other diets, on the atkins diet you eat protein and fat, it is the carbs that are on the banned list. It is referred to as a low carbohydrate/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, 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 controversial theory behind the atkins diet is that if we injest less carbs, we will utilise our stored fat and we will reduce weight
