The Atkins’ Diet
First invented by doctor atkins in the 1960s, the famous atkins diet is still one of the most popular diets today. Popular with many famous celebrities, it allows fat reduction whilst still eating many of the foods you love, such as fatty meat and some dairy produce.
With this 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, amongst them, 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 such as meat, fish and poultry. You also can eat shellfish, regular full fat cheese, butter & olive oil.

The Atkins’ Diet Theory
The 'science' behind the atkins diet is that although our bodies use both fats and carbohydrates to convert into glucose, it is the carbs which are burned primarily. If we eat fewer carbohydrates, our bodies will utilize our fat and we will get rid of some fat. This is the bit that is contentious, not all specialists agree and quite a few feel it might be dangerous.
